Watched Ottawa Hills vs. Toledo Christian on TV - comments

Nothing too insightful here, just some impressions.

1.  I didn't realize how small the TC gym was.  Their press to a great extent is build around that floor.  There's less space to cover.  It will be interesting to see how they adjust in their new building.

2.  Ottawa Hills won that game down the stretch at the line.  Impressive free throw shooting by the Bears.  Conversely, they almost gave the game away in the fourth quarter with a lot of quick posessions.  Coach Lindsay must have been pulling his hair out.

3.  David Westmeyer and Andrew Jamieson were the best players on the court that evening.  Although Josh Whitlow played a big part in the Eagles' comeback with three 3-pointers in the second half.  He was money from the left hand corner.

4.  OH played much of the game without Lucas Janowicz - first due to foul trouble, then because OH wanted ball handlers in the game.

5.  This year anyway, OH lives by the fade away jumper.  TC lives by the three. 

6.  TC thrives on a fast paced game.  They are vulnerable to a good inside game.

7.  Note for next year - TC currently starts five seniors, OH starts three.

8.  Coach Stan Joplin is a good analyst.
