Team Summary:
Duchesne struggled with the man to man defense. #23) Mitch Fairless even struggled and was almost disappeared sometimes. This was the first time I seen him struggle all year. The third quarter Jennings put the screws on the press and caused six turnovers and seven points scored off of them. They don’t match up well to athletic teams and that happen tonight.
Jennings never trailed and led start to finish. #23) Elijah Hicks did an excellent job on Duchesne’s #23) Fairless and actually made him look bad in the third quarter. They did well on the free throw line in the second half 18/23 78%. They didn’t hit a three pointer 0 for 7. Jennings played very well tonigh especially on defense.
