Van Meter took the air out of the ball and was very deliberate. VM big guy dominated PC in the first half and caused both PC bigs to sit a lot in foul trouble. VM only shot 28 times for the game and the score was 25-18 at half. PC had a good third quarter to get back in it. PC being behind in the fourth and VM was not looking to score so PC had to foul and VM knocked down nearly all their FTs in crunch time although they were 14-23 for the game. PC did not get any favors from the officiating and all three officials struggled to get up and down the floor even with a slow paced game. PC was down a starter as he was recently diagnosed with mono. VM defense was very good. I didn't have a dog in the fight but thought PC would win and most likely would of had there been a shot clock. This game would have been in the 30s had PC not fouled at the end to stay in it. Both of these teams should have made it to state and it is unfortunate they got paired up so soon.
