A few more Hope-Calvin observation...
1. While Hope missed a lot at the rim a close look at stats shows they also only had 3-4 assists. Why? Inside-out wasn't there. When it went to Granger on the block - my opinion - he was so hell bent on shutting up the raucous Calvin students who rode him like a rented mule that once it went in it was going up. Don't care who you are or your toughness, he was getting a loud and constant earful and I think it got him out of the game.
2. Jake Honer's perimeter D was missed. Feel like he could have quelled the Shymanski outburst by sticking tighter to him.
3. Gamm should have played more. While he needs to be more of a threat on O, he's the best defender Hope has. He played roughly 15 min coming off injury and in that time held DeVries scoreless.
4. Sometimes shooters get hot. That was the case last night. Teams are really pretty evenly matched. Should be a battle again at DeVos. Hoping the Dew Crew Can bring it like the Calvin students last night.
Side note, one ref was looking at the monitor when his crew mate went down hurt, anyone who watched at home know why? Speculation was maybe a student interfered, but really no idea.
The injured ref was the one who made the foul call. The crew mate (Kevin Kooiker) was looking at the monitor to verify who was fouled and who committed the foul.
