Was in attendance for this one last night, hadn't got to see Lawrence play so far this season, a few things with Chandler Thompson's teams, they always have shooters who will space the floor, can slash to the basket, and will absolutely defend the hell out of you, normally don't have a ton of size but they make up for that with how hard and physical they play, so needless to say I was looking forward to seeing them play last night.

But I guess I just caught them on a really bad off night. They couldn't buy a basket last night, and it seemed like whatever they done defensively, Pike Central just had an answer for everything, especially when Lawrence would get in their full court press, the best way to break a good press is ball movement, having someone in the middle at halfcourt, and they done both things every single time, and it worked to perfection. I'd love to know how many points in the paint Pike Central had, not even sure they made a 3, and didn't even attempt very many from what I remember. Stewart and the other front court players were just getting whatever they wanted the whole game. PC controlled things from the get go, Lawrence got it to within 3 late in the first half but PC extended it back out before half.

Great game from Pike Central, who are playing some good basketball right now. Will be a tough test tonight against Johnson Central, but should be a great game.
