Sabres women, Rockets men win at Pasadena
Sturt women won by 20+. Hopefully someone has more info.
North men got up in a pretty uninspiring contest after leading 31-39 at half-time, and finished winners, 68-84. First half was pretty flat by both teams, IMO, but North improved and Sturt didn't quite keep up.
Nick Hambour had 29 for the Rockets, Erik Burdon had 20, and Michael Zorich had decent all-round stats. Hawkes wasn't very good besides a couple of great blocks. Can't remember Kent doing much.
For Sturt, Darren Ng was nearly the only highlight, scoring 32 including a brilliant run of threes in the latter stages of the game when the Sabres looked like an outside chance of fighting their way back. Adam Benson had 15 (7-19 FG from memory) and Todd Gower had 10 points and 7 rebounds. Nathan Vaughn did alright, but just didn't hit shots (1-8).
Sturt were missing three starters (gee, bad run) - Oscar in Melbourne, Potsie (groin) and Shepherd (flu).
Somehow, Sturt won the rebound count 56-55, though I would never have guessed that from watching the game. Also, turnovers were 22-19, but I would've guessed more like 25-15. Sturt literally threw the ball out of court and into North's hands far too many times.
