Winter 2011: C 5v5 League Champs: Commitment

Dream season continues for Dippin Rickies
Dippin Rickies 40 Ball Above All 34

Here we were, semi-finals featuring the #3 seeded Ball Above All (BAA) and the #8 seeded VCU I mean Dippin Rickies (DR).  This game like the previous started really slow.  BAB called the first timeout of the game with 12:24 left in the half down 7-11.  As the half continued, DR played great defense and closed out the half on an 11-2 run leading 18-13.  The key to this lead was three-point shooting, DR 1-1 BAA 0-9.

Second half BAA started to play with some intensity and get to the basket.  DR took a timeout at the 14:23 mark leading 24-21.  The defensive battle continued but DR still maintained their lead.  The first 3-pointer made by BAA came with about 7 minutes left in the game but they still trailed 29-25.  BAA was never able to get closer than 4 and DR went on to win 40-34.  Great all around team effort by DR, especially Miguel Rosa, he only double figure scorer.  As for BAA I expect them to come back next session.  Here are some suggestions on how to improve:
