… what a great game to watch from the Cheap Seats ! the Tigers go 10/18 from downtown … Berne Union 7/21 from behind the arc … 17 threes between the 2 D4 semi-finalists !!! The Rockets came to play with SIZE, SIZE and more SIZE … great game plan – simple game plan “We’re bigger/stronger … put the ball down low in the hands of the BIGS on the block … go down low to set up the 3 ball – Zane Mirgon (2)/ Levi Ross (2)/Brock Unger (2) /Chaz Dickerson (1) … so many offensive boards for the Rockets … BU seemed to be able to do anything/everything they wanted – on the blocks, perimeter scoring WITH the bigs , controlling the boards … turning the Tigers over (5 TOs in the first period) … BU put a 25 spot on the scoreboard in the 1st period ! Zane Mirgon (10pts) / Brock Unger (6pts on a pair of treys)/ Chaz Dickerson (3pts on a triple) / Baron Sullivan (4 pts) & Chase Blevins (2pts) … outstanding all around quarter by the Rockets … the Tigers were led by Marcus Saunders 7pts and 3 pointers by Saunders/Jerome McKinley & Grady Jackson … Berne Union 25 New Boston 15 after one … in the 2nd New Boston found the range from behind the 3 point line trading 2 pointers by the Rockets for 3 balls for the first 6:18 of the 2nd outscoring BU 14-8 to pull to within 4 pts 29-33 BU with 1:42 on the clock … in the final 1:42 the Tigers broke lose on a 12-0 run led by guard Malachi Potts’ 8 points including a 3 point bankshot from 30 ft as the buzzer sounded ! when the dust had cleared the Tigers of Coach Cox had drained 6/9 triples in the 2nd quarter … 9/15 in the first half … what had been a BU 8 point lead with 3 minutes to play in the 2nd quarter ended with NB having one upped the BU 25 point quarter putting 26 points on the board in the 2nd taking an 8 point lead of their own into half time … New Boston 41 Berne Union 33 at intermission … the last 3 minutes of the 2nd quarter might have broken many opponents … BU however brought out the D – turning the Tigers over 5 times in the 3rd … while adding 3 treys of their own in the quarter (2 by Levi Ross) and another by Mirgon (his 2nd of the game) … the big man in the middle Jacob Harmon controlled the paint with 2 putback buckets … NB seemed to try to shorten the game, running more clock with each possession … putting the ball in the hands of Sexton/Caldwell out on the perimeter – resulting in 5 NB TOs and a BU transition bucket … what was Tiger momentum going into halftime … the Rockets took away in the 3rd as BU inched closer … New Boston 54 Berne Union 49 after 3 – game on … at 6:38 in the 4th NB led 57-49 on a Tyler Caldwell old fashioned bucket & 1 in the paint … by 3:13 BU had cut the lead to 55-61 mainly from the FT line with the clock stopped – BU went 7/8 from the line in the 4th … on the other end BU put the Tigers on the line … NB made it interesting down the stretch as they hit only 7/14 from the line in the 4th … at 1:03 NB led 63-60 – a one possession game … FT’s by Jacob Harmon made the score 63-62 NB with :48 to play … Tyler Caldwell knocked down 2 FTs :43.3 NB 65-62 … Caldwell to the line again hits 2 of 2 to give the Tigers a 2 possession lead 67-62 … BU’s McCartney on an uncontested drive the length of the court NB up 67-64 with :16 to play on the clock …Kyle Sexton 1/2 from the line with :12 on the clock … 68-64 Tigers … a BU turnover … Jerome McKinley sealed the Tigers win with 1 for 2 from the line to end the scoring … New Boston 69 Berne Union 64 a final …
