Halftime Recap

To say the Bonnies have gained control of this game would be an understatement. The defense has been playing a mix of man, 1-3-1, 2-3 and a 1-2-2 full court press. The intensity has been high and the players are definitely playing off of the emotion of the fans. The Bonnies have only attempted six 3-point field goals, making three of them. They are shooting 11-of-22 from the field and 16-of-18 from the line. These are vast improvements from Boston and last year especially. Michael Lee is two rebounds from a double-double as he has 11 points and 8 rebounds. Fereti leads the Bonnies with 16 points. The only negatives I can find from the first half are the way the team came out stiff in the beginning, but only for the first 4 minutes before they picked it up in a big way. Also, the team has turned the ball over 12 times.

Fan Support: Coach Mark Schmidts plea for fan support has come to fruition as the students especially have come out in a huge way. The red seats are also well represented and as I mentioned in a previous post, the arena itself is probably just over 200 seats from being completely full. I wish I could give an accurate attendance number but none has been provided. If they announce it during the game I will get it up here immediately. On to the second half we go!!
