Had Christmas with my side of family at my brother’s today and we all watched it this afternoon.
Indiana had a good game plan and played solid help defense. At the ten minute mark I said, “I really want to feel like this is a cat killing a mouse thing and we are just toying with them, but I’m starting to wonder.” And my brother tensely said, “It’s getting kind of late for that!”
Thankfully our best players really asserted ourselves down the stretch and salted it away. Did a great job on TJD all day and forced lots of bad shots. Also gave up a few wide open threes. When their guards penetrated, our game plan on help D seemed to be to stick with the guard deeper into the lane to force kick outs and make them earn it from deep. As a result we were late on some close outs on those hedges. Luckily they missed (and missed badly) on nearly all of them it seemed.
Overall a must win game that was closer than we’d have liked but ended up winning going away. Was especially fun when the adults were chanting I-L-L and the kids responding with I-N-I down the stretch.
