[tornado]

Rock Island loses to Pekin 51-44
RI played a bad game, Pekin had a coupe kids hit a lot of threes
honestly - neither team looked impressive - RI shoulda taken it to the hoop every time
JaMir Price was out a lot because of fouls then fouled out early in the 4th quarter - was not a factor

The link above says the game against Filou Oostende is March 5 - but Eurobasket says it is March 6- https://basketball.eurobasket.com/te...gen/461?Page=2

The official FIBA site says it is today, March 5 in about 4 hours - http://www.fiba.basketball/europecup...onar-Groningen

..but they also played a regular league game March 2 and won 92-67 with Rienk Mast playing just 18 minutes and scored 6 pts, grabbed 7 rebs and dished out 4 asst
They play another league game March 7 against Leiden, and again against Amsterdam March 9 then a rematch vs. Oostende March 13 (5 games in 11 days)


Ville & HBA-Marsky play Thursday

Rienk Mast's game is on - former Valpo player Shane Hammink is also on Donar (white)
Rienk is #15- he has 5 pts currently as Donar leads 25-21 early in the 2nd quarter

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FttsgpAXTvk

the opponent is Belgiam team Oostende - they have former FGCU star Chase Fieler
the crowd is huge - no empty seats

..a few words are the same as in English... "timeout"...."airball" ... "flopping"..


edit - the score at halftime is 35-35
Rienk Mast has 7 pts, 3 reb n 14 min
He uses the backboard well and has a nice 3-pt shot.
Both teams are shooting the 3-pointers well (Donar 7-14, Oostende 10-20)
Oostende is the top team (1st place) in Belgium.

The European 3-pt distance is 22 ft-2 inches - about a foot and a half farther than the NCAA distance - 20 ft-9 inches

[tornado]

Oostende now 14-25 from 3-pt and Donar is 11-18!
with 4 min to go in 3rd qtr score is 46-45, Donar trails

[tornado]

end of 3rd quarter
Donar 53 - Oostende 50
Mast has played 21 minutes, 7 pts, 3 rebs, 1 blk


added - Rienk Mast ended up with 9 pts - he was Donar's 3rd leading scorer - Teddy Gipson led with 13

[tornado]

Donar ties it with a standard 3-point play at the final buzzer..then a bizarre ending--
I thought it would be going to OT tied 66-66 but after multiple time outs- everybody simply got up and left and the game ends as a 66-66- tie!
Believe it or not -
http://www.fiba.basketball/europecup...n#tab=boxscore

they play again a week from tomorrow

...
The matchups will not be known until Tuesday evening when they draw for the pairing..

The matchups are set
Memphis East plays Cleveland Game 4 on Thu. Mar. 14 11:30 AM at MTSU

http://tssaasports.com/event/bracket.cfm?id=20180203

Cleveland is a big school from Cleveland TN, just outside of Chattanooga
..interestingly - their STAR PLAYER is in the news this morning - he has been dismissed, altho he will likely get an offer from at least one MVC school - https://wdef.com/2019/03/05/basketba...lfriend-video/

[tornado]

Ville & HBA-Marsky play Thursday..

HBA-Marsky lost a very close game 88-85
Ville Tahvanainen was the star however-- he hit 5-9 from 3-pt range and finished with 25 pts, 7 rebs, 5 asst

[ihatetea]

I sure hope he can do that over here. I’m very bullish on our recruits for next year. I know we hit a speed bump at the start of the conference season, but I am pleased with the direction Coach Wardle has the program moving.

[tornado]

we are LIGHT YEARS BETTER than where we were in 2011-2015

[tornado]

Rienk Mast's team wins easily at Amsterdam 72-58 with Rienk resting a lot and playing only 14 minutes
...he was 2-2 from the floor for 4 pts.
One of Groningen's best players LaRon Dendy however, has left the team
