Aces vs. Trevecca Nazarene

The Aces took the Trojan early 30-12 at the half. Coach Simmons provided a great showcase of the back court tonight. Coach Simmons let ya'll see what he went and got, to go with what he has. Great expectations for this team.

UE extended its lead to as many as 46 points on a David Howard layup at the 1:27 mark that made the score 82-36. Aces win 83-40

I checked in on the Aces board and read the box score. Below are a couple of interesting tidbits I picked up on

Sawvell DNP due to a minor ankle injury. Marty's boy Blake started in his place.

The starting line-up consisted of 3 sophomores (Wing, Balentine, Mockevicius) and 2 freshman (Gibson and Simmons).

Wing and Simmons were stat stuffers.

Mock only geting three shots means that nothing has changed for UE. :huh:

As you can plainly see, the above poster has chosen the perfect screen name. Marty knows what Mock can do, he wanted to see what everyone else could do.

I wasn't concerned with the play of Egidijus or the amount of shots he took. The freshmen on the team were very poised and aggressive, they will be fun to watch.

Might be an odd question but have the aces changed thier D at all? These new rules would make Marty's D almost I'm possible to play.

Same sticky man defense. A couple of the bigs got a four fouls each but the rest of the team accounted for only 5 fouls. The new rules will cause problems for those players who are not well coached on defensive position and don't use their feet to defend. UE did take a couple of charges down low, however.

This is going to change the way the game is played in the paint though. Gone will be the days of pushing the offensive player backing in and also the power forward pushing to the rim. The rule change is meant to free up the offense and allow for more scoring. Also, there's a new rule to protect the offensive player from being undercut to take a charge. If the offensive player begins his upward motion to go for the rim (feet can still be on the ground) then the defensive player cannot get into position to take a charge. And I thought the semi-circle was a tough call.

Will the 4-step travel be next? :huh:

so faster, more athletic teams will benefit from the rule change.

That is what I think. The grab and clutch D the aces have used in the past will not exists.
