A great win for the Quakers. SD with a short bench, though he played 9 players the 5 starters all played 30+ with Betley playing 40. Mitch did similar with his starters.
I though AJ and Max were huge in the second half. They had 2 pts and 8 rebs between them at half and they finish with 22 and 14.
Donahue's plan of putting Max on Stephens is very counterintuitive but worked exceptionally well. AJ's bucket over Much to give us a 4 pt lead was the bucket of the game to me.
Some great adjustments by both coaches at half. Mitch started screening for Stephens around the basket and he was able to get free a few times. And SD started posting up in the lane with an entry pass from the top vs on the block with entry from the wing. That makes a double team much harder.
