Scott vs UNC
I looked over the tape again today so I could report on Scott's performance. He was brought in at the 11:27 mark the first time, score North Carolina 21-16, and he left with 10:03 left in the first half, 23-16. The score remained the same despite many starters resting. In the second half he was brought in with 15:16 left in the game, score 51-44 leaving at 13:09 with the score 55-46. Simply put he helped PSU increase its lead. Now Big Scott was brough in to slow down the Senior Center Brendan Haywood who had these stats
for the game: Points: 13, Assists: 2, Rebounds: 13, Blocks 4
With #45 in: Points: 0, Assists: 1, Rebounds: 4, Blocks 0
On of those 4 rebounds was after a quick Joe Cripsin shot with no teammates back, and one looked like he PUSHED Scott in the back, because Scott had position (No foul called, but I have it on tape) So I only credit Haywood with 2 rebounds over Mr. Witkowsky.
Scott made a CRITICAL DIFFERENCE IN THE GAME!
Now for the other news... The Rebound that wasn't.
SCOTT HAD A REBOUND THAT HE WAS NOT CREDITED FOR. It took place at the 14:30 mark of the second half. The ball came down, Scott grabbed it, a North Carolina player(#40) began to knock it out of his hands, so Scott smartly shoved it off to Tyler Smith... Should be a clear rebound, even BOTH the announcers, thought so Jim Nantz - "Witkowsky comes out with... squeezes it out to Smith." Billy Packer - "AND there's that bench coming up with a VERY important rebound." I checked today's box score and there was a goose egg in the reb. column next to Witkowsky.
TRAVISTY! Who can we call to correct this.
Scott vs. Temple
Ok let me just get this out of the way. I think if Scott had played more than 30 seconds, the out come would have been different. I think we needed a larger body to move some of the Owls out of the post. But it was a great season and a great run, so we may learn to live with it... Someday.
Here it was just one game earlier and a just a few lines up on this page I was complaining about Scott not getting credit for a rebound against UNC.... so with only 30 seconds left in the game, Scott made the most of the moment and Pulled down his NCCA tournament rebound... Kick Ass Highlight.
