-Laconia has four early 3-pointers

-I’m curious to see what Aquinas does out of the half defensively

-MAS took the lead by getting out and running in transition
-Hell of a response after a 12-0 MAS run by Kewakum to reclaim an eight-point lead
-MAS is still hanging around in this, but it feels like they’re out of rhythm
-Basketball gods didn’t like MAS sitting on the ball

-Kewaskum is doing a good job keeping control of the ball
-MAS hasn’t taken advantage of some easy scoring chances
-Missed layups on both ends
-Madi Dogs’ length is causing MAS problems all over the floor
-When MAS does get out in transition, they look deadly

2nd half
-Notre Dame is the best team in this state, and I don’t think it’s debateable
-Tritons are 66% from the field 14:27, left in the game, unreal execution.
