Finally, close to a complete game by the GRIZ. Belo is the kind of player the GRIZ need. Wish he were a GRIZ.
Bannan was terrific. Nice games from Whitney, Beasley, Martin, Cam, and Owens as well. I honestly can't understand why Owens isn't a key player in the rotation. No matter if his offense is on or not, good things happen when he's on the court. He's just enough of an offensive threat. Defenses need to account for him. He opens up the offense for penetration, and is a solid passer too. Defensively he's good for drawing a charge or 2, an occasional steal, key rebounds, and can defend the perimeter, penetrators, and long enough to front post players. His weakness is defending strong backside of posts. Owens is a difference maker, with or without scoring. Not sure, why DeCuire doesn't give him 15+ minutes per game.
Terrific perimeter defense by the GRIZ. That was the deciding factor in this game.
Well done GRIZ and Lady Griz.
