[Griz til I die]

Very fast paced first half. Both teams attacked the rim a lot. Lots of transition, shots early in the shot clock, etc. neither team took a lot of 3s but when they did they generally made them. Money leading the way with 20 first half points followed by Sawyer with 11.

Unfortunately, I had to pause the game for 5ish minutes.

GRIZ handling traps and pressure well.

Commentators comparing Money to Baron Davis and James Harden.

7 assists on 19 made baskets doesn’t feel great, but 7 assists to 4 turnovers looks pretty darn good. Griz up +5 on rebounds, 20-15.

UNLV also has 4 turnovers and has 10 PF to UMs 7. Be interesting to see if that flips around 2nd half.

Great work so far. Go Griz

A lot of isolation plays for Money.

Holy Sh!t, Aguino is going to be a problem for the rest of the Big Sky!

Man, I didn't know Jedkins could stroke threes like that!

 

[mtgrizrule]

Holy Sh!t, Aguino is going to be a problem for the rest of the Big Sky!

He's got Andrew Strait post moves and Mathias Ward 3 pt shot.

Hicks is so athletic

 

[mtgrizrule]

A lot of out of control plays at the basket.

 

[mtgrizrule]

Nice clear out for Henderson for an and 1!

Damn, Money you can't extend your arm out like that. Easy offensive foul call.

 

[mtgrizrule]

Sawyer with another And 1!
He's playing bully ball.

[MissoulaMarinerFan]

Good guys up 12 88-76, 3:25 left. Money to the line to finish off and and1 opportunity

 

[mtgrizrule]

Money is the best player in this game.
He just needs to find it consistently.
He's so damn strong for a guard.

 

[mtgrizrule]

UNLV is so long and lean.
They have a lot of upside.
