Crimson and Cream

Watched the 2nd half on stream while simultaneously watching our 2nd half. Flory missed the 2nd quarter due to some injury. Zionsville was up 32-16 at the half as a result. After halftime he was back out there and Kokomo made a nice run and got to within 5 or 6, but then Zionsville pulled back ahead and maintained a 10 point advantage for the rest of the game. Another unfortunate game of a team surrounding Flory and leaving Kokomo wide open from deep and Kokomo just doesn't have the necessary talent to make them pay. That's the gameplan and we're seeing it most games now. Kid is doing himself a disservice if he stays in Kokomo his senior year. It's sad. A school this size should be able to find better talent. We had plenty of it back when I went there. All that said credit to Zionsville. They shoot the ball well, have great patience to eat away clock (don't get me started on how much I hate that it's 2022 and we still don't employ a shot clock) until they find a good look, and stuck to the gameplan on Flory even after Kokomo got close in the 2nd half. Sucks for Cal/Painter to make the trip to see him barely used. His lone 2 points apparently came off a sky hook in the first quarter.

The more CJ Gunn the better as far as I'm concerned. Definitely brings a skillset we don't get with anyone else.

Well coached game by Carmel. They packed the paint on defense, made Kokomo beat them by the 3 ball and it almost worked. If you had 4 solid/good shooters around Flory it'd be nearly unstoppable at the HS level. He really does control the game on the defensive end though. Anything around the rim is sent into the 6th row and even on the perimeter he alters almost everything if he's in the area. He's even got quick hands and comes up with steals leading to fastbreaks. And once he's leading the break is really where the fun starts. His speed, athleticism, and even to an extent handles for a guy his size just blow you away. His improvement from last year to this year is very clear to see. Hope they continue to work with the guards on feeding him the ball when he's calling for it.

Not a perfect game from anyone but man Trayce let us down tonight. A small portion was a size disadvantage but a large portion was lack of aggressiveness and will to win. You'd think someone with NBA aspirations would want to show out in games like this up against NBA caliber size.

Probably the worst minute segment of officiating I've seen all season

Can we send Dakich to Russia?

I would love for Armaan to have stayed

Yeah that didn't escape me

You'd be hard pressed to remember if he's even played

Geronimo is such a fun defender

We get Ted Valentine or something?? What's up with these refs trying to make this game about them?

Reneau back!

What a beautiful sequence

It's a win baby

At this point I'm rooting for Kopp to foul out because that's apparently the only thing that can keep him off the floor.

Between this constant screen freezing and Jim Jackson slobbering all over the Ohio school this has made for quite the unpleasant viewing experience. Just win this game and let's move on.

Northwestern is laughing so hard right now

Is he a Xavier fan? Sure doesn't seem like neutral announcing.

Our players are so undisciplined

Miller Kopp is going to make me hate Mike Woodson

I'd be fine with Reneau getting all of Race's minutes in the 2nd half.
