The Spartans have really turned up the defense.

18 fouls in 26 minutes ain't really that bad in a game of this intensity...

Cameron refs were good practice for this game.

I was hoping that Ballo would develop a few more moves around the basket in his Sr yr: face up shot, baby hook, back down and dunk, etc…..

That banked fade-away they made was great D by Ballo - he forced the wild shot that lucked in... :roll:

If the goal is to keep sending Ballo to the line it's not a bad strategy.
