CABL Round 2 Results

Women:

North 72 d West 67 (I picked North by 16)

North tried hard to throw this game away shooting 10 from 41 in the second half, but still managed to hold on. Hill and Peris the stars again with 18 points each. Nairn for West had 16 and 7 and Holland 11 and 11.

South 91 d Woodville 90 (I picked South by 9)

South stole this game in OT with a 3 on the buzzer after Woodville led for most of the game. Mahony was huge down the stretch and took control when she needed to, finishing with 20 points, 15 assists and almost rounded out the triple double with 9 turnovers. Howard was critical in the win with 38 points and 14 rebounds, and although hit the game winner, struggled to fire in the dying minutes when needed. Griffiths and Perkas were instrumental in the win, however 33 team turnovers won't see too many W's this season.

Norwood 91 d Southern 52 (I picked Norwood by 33)

Same same, but different team. Norwood forced 35 turnovers, with Lewis and Good doing most of the damage on the offensive end. Fisher was Southerns best with 23 points and 5 assists, however turned the ball over 10 times. Norwood had the hot hand all night, shooting 51% for the game.

Centrals 45 def by Forestville 92 (I picked Forestville by 25)

Ugly game for the Lions shooting 27% for the game. Wedding the only light with 8 points, 9 boards. Sharon fired the girls up this week, with the ever reliable Fergus with 19pts, 8reb, 5 ass, and Petrie with 21pts, 10reb and 7 ass.

Eastern 56 def by Sturt 99 (I picked Sturt by 13)

Sturt tallied the highest score this round, doing their best Sir Don impersonation. Shooting 52% for the game, the Sabres were led by Richards (24pts), Spalding (19pts), McPhail (18pts) - all in under 30 minutes of game time. Eastern weren't that far off the mark, they just couldn't make their shots, falling 15 behind and at 25% worse. Tarran and McDermott the only serious contributors.

5 out of 5 for the Women, however some bigger blowouts than expected.

Mens:

North 58 def by West 78 (I picked North by 6)

North dropping game 2 for the season, and struggling to make a shot. Shooting 32% for the game isn't the worst we have seen, but 7 from 34 in the first half, is just uncharacteristic. Down 44-20 at the half, they managed to win the 2nd half, but not enough to trouble the Bearcats. Pero and Mapunda combined for for 4/22, with Wernham (14pts, 10reb) finally getting it going, North managed to see some good offense. Braithwaite (17 & 6), Truslove (14 & 13) and Philips (12pts on 4/5 3's) were West's best. One has to think that West should have won by more, and giving up 10 extra shots and only 2 O boards, aren't the best signs going forward.

South 74 def by Woodville 96 (I picked Woodville by 34)

I feel like this game went as expected. Perhaps Woodville should have run away with it, as the bench players didn't see too many minutes. Starling continuing early season form with 29pts and 13reb, supported by Sims with 25pts and 8reb. South were led by Boal with 25pts and McKenzie 14pts. Robertson needs to find his 2013 form to help his team make a difference.

Norwood 80 def by Southern 82 (I picked Southern by 5)

Norwood were playing catch up by midway through the 2nd quarter, allowing 30pts in the period. Lycett couldn't hit the game tier on the buzzer, giving Southern their 2nd W for the season. The difference for the game, Southerns 9% better shooting clip. Krause, Jennings and Cobbing were the Flames best in a strong team game, however for Norwood to be contenders they need more form Lycett. Southern also had a great spread of contribution, Ellison, Williams, McDaniel, and Johns all doing their bit. If Florence gets going, and Smyth can up his game, Southern look dangerous on their night.

Centrals 95 def Forestville 75 (I picked Forestville by 22)

The Lions scored a solid win against the Eagles, through again the contribution of Clausen (18pts 7 reg), Miller (32pts, 5reb, 9ass) and Atkins (17pts) - three very familiar names. Mottram (18pts 9reb) and Gerlach (8 pts, 6reb, 4ass, 5stls) were the Eagles leaders. Rios had a night to forget - 1/14 in 19 minutes. Forestville shot 39% for the night and 13 more shots, however gave up 45% to the Lions, and 14 three balls, as well as only had 9 free throws to the Lions 23. Perhaps the Men will get Sharon at training this week...

Eastern 74 def by Sturt 89 (I picked Sturt by 24)

Certainly closer than I expected, however a 28-59 first half meant the Sabres could run the bench. The Mavs fought back hard winning the second half 46-30, with Sturt struggling to find the bottom of the net on 11/42. Scipio (18pts) and Dearman (14pts) were Easterns best, however bested by the efforts of Burns (12pts), Bauer (14pts) and Klaosen (17pts). One bad quarter by Eastern took the game away from them, but it shows their not too far off.

3 out of 5 for the Men - with 1 upset (centrals) and 1 disappointment (North)
