Up 10-8 in the first 5 minutes, but Bauer has drawn 2 fouls on Bogans and I have to go to Owensworth early.

With 8:25 to go, Snow with a nice drive gets a 2nd foul on Bauer. This is crucial as he has been killing us inside and they are up 17-14.

A play later, Snow is fouled behind the arc and hits all 3 FT's to tie it up.

Andres with a few nice plays starts a little run that has up 25-19 with 4 minutes to go in the half but Bauer comes back and gets them 2 more baskets to close the lead.

Everett has missed too many FT's this half, including 4 down the stretch.

They hit a 3 at the buzzer and go into the half up 29-25.

Bauer is the player of the half with 10 points, 5 boards, and 2 blocks.

Andres has 8 points and 4 boards. He is shooting 2 of 8 from the floor. Santos has 8 points on 4 of 5 shooting. Hodari has 7 points.

1 minute into the 2nd half, Santos draws a 3rd foul on Bauer!

A minute later, he draws a 3rd foul on Wiezrba, their backup center and a very good player

With 12 minutes to go, I'm surprised to find we are down by 6. Our shooters aren't hitting their shots and their defense has been tenacious. 41-35, they lead.

With about 5 minutes to go, Santos hits a 3 to pull it within 2. 51-49.

We get a stop, but Hendriks misses a breakaway layup and they get a basket on the other end to make it 53-49.

With about 3 minutes to go, we get moderately tired starters back in. We are down 53-50. An errant pass on the inbounds gives us the ball back!

Hodari draws a foul and hits the first of 2. They try to fastbreak, but Hodari blocks the layup attempt! He initiates the fastbreak which is finished with a Santos slam dunk! Tied at 53!

After missed baskets by both sides and then another missed basket by them, we get an open look for Andres who drills a 3! 56-53. 1:34 to go.

Everett with a steal throws a pass to Santos who gets ahead of the pack.. he windmills it home! 23 points for Santos who was key in our come back tonight. 58-53.

A quick 3 by Strong, their SG, keeps them in it.

With a minute left, we work the clock down. Finally, Everett feeds it to Andres in the post. He draws a double team.. kicks it out to an open Santos who misses the 17 footer.

The come back the other way. They work it down to 10 seconds left and pound it inside. They have had too much size all night inside. Easy basket. Tied at 58. 7 seconds left.

We quickly get it across midcourt and use a timeout. 3.5 seconds left.

We inbound it to Andres... they double team him. He shoots anyway from the wing and misses it.

We are going to OT.

First possession, Hodari drives into the lane and gets a 4th foul on Bauer.

Andres is exhausted, so we rest him for a minute.

Santos draws a 5th foul on Wierzba with 3:20 to go in OT.

A minute later, he draws a 5th one on Bauer! He hits both FT's to pull us back within 2 (we were down 4 thanks to a 3 point play by Bauer.)

Despite that, they hit the next 2 inside baskets. Their inside depth is insane. Meanwhile, they are playing good defense or our guys are just missing their shots.

Down 70-64 with 1 minute to go.

We miss a 3 by Andres. We get the offensive board.. Santos gets a good look and misses it. They get the board and we have to foul.

It was a road game, but this 6-11, now 7-11 team isn't the team that I expected our winning streak to come to an end to but it has.

We lose 74-66.

Bauer was the player of the game with 20 points, 8 boards, and 2 blocks. He shot 8 of 13 from the field and 4 of 4 from the line. The 7'0 260 pound center is rated 95 for close shooting and it shows. I'll be glad when the senior goes. He did all of that in only 20 minutes.

Their inside depth is crazy. Wierzba had 10 points and 10 boards in 28 minutes and Leadbetter had 10 points and 10 boards in 23 minutes.

They outrebounded us 51-34. We were 18 of 36 from the FT line and it cost us this game. They were 15 of 21 from the line.

Santos led us with 29 points, 6 boards, 2 assists, and a block. He shot 11 of 16, 1 of 4, and 6 of 10.

Everett had 3 points, 1 assist, and 3 steals. He shot 0 of 6. He also had 3 turnovers.

Hodari had 14 points and 4 assists. He shot 5 of 11.

Andres had 11 points, 9 boards, and 1 assist. He shot 3 of 13.

Bogans had 2 points, 9 boards, and an assist.

Snow had only 5 points in 15 minutes.

Our next game is at Saint Peter's. They are 11-7 and will be a challenge with a good interior presence as well (but not as good as Bauer.)
