Also in Vegas at the Thomas & Mack Center (which is the home arena of UNLV). Its a pretty cool venue and much closer to the strip than the Big West Championship. Curious what attendance looks like at the games compared to Big West games.
Watching up close yesterday. I thought Fullerton got away with really physical play, especially on Sevilla. Their frenetic offensive style gets them alot of Ricky tack fouls on offense. I don’t think they are very skilled despite their ability to score. Hoping Hawaii wins
Watching the game on ESPN2, I guess you guys are right. At the half, the two teams have only picked up 11 fouls compared to 51 last night when the Titans muscled their way past the AGs.
Fullerton plays tough d 3-4 feet beyond the 3 point line. Really takes teams out of rhythm. If anyone is watching the game right now. Hawaii is feeling the same thing as Davis last night. Watch how tight they play once they cross half court.
The Titans made a good run to begin the second half, using more of their physical styles of play as evident by the fact that they picked up 15 fouls in the half, but Hawaii is too big and too skilled. Plus, the crowd was full of Hawaii fans who love to go to Las Vegas anyway, so it was almost like a home game for Hawaii. I'll be rooting for the Rainbows to take it to UCI tomorrow. UH is, after all, where I worked for 2 years.
