New Riegel def. Arlington, 51-40.
Final is 7p Friday.
Witnessed these in person... very ugly games to watch.
1-NB missed 2 FTs with 20 seconds left in a tie game, before McComb’s Drew Bryan's made the game-winner with 9 seconds left, despite having 4 turnovers himself in the final 2 minutes. NB had 7.9 seconds to go the length of the floor, only to loose a dribble around the 3-pt line. McComb had a 25-14 3Q thanks largely to quick transition.
2-After being tied 5-5, NR led by 5-10 most of the game. Methodical offense for NR. Arlington seemed to have trouble hitting the rim on any shot outside of 10 feet. Arlington trailed 40-36, with 2:09 left, but NR made its FTs & Arlington couldn't buy much after that. Arlington's Speyer had to have a double-double with 17 points, along with a handful of blocks. He kept them in the game, but NR was just very efficient offensively & played great helpside team defense.
