While Carmel led most of the way, it was never more than a two possession game until the 2:12 mark of the 4th quarter.  Carmel iced the game at the FT line.

  • Carmel's Peter Suder has taken another step toward being a consistent shooter.  Not just knocking down mid-range jump shots, Suder is looking more comfortable and fluid from the 3pt line.
  • Brian Waddell struggled in the first half to get much going, but he scored 14 of his 16 points in the second half, including a dunk in the half court.  Still his best asset is movement without the basketball, even waddell_brian_dunk gainst Columbus North's zone.  
  • Charlie Williams struggled with physicality, and he didn't take advantage of a decided height advantage.
  • There was a point in the first half where it felt like Blake Barker was going to go on a scoring spurt.  As well as he played, he didn't have a big scoring stretch.  He can score in bunches.  Carmel made him work.
  • Cooper Horn, 6'2" sophomore guard, was impressive for Columbus North.  He's a consistent from the 3pt line, works on the defensive end and even blocked a couple of shots.  He could also be a primary ball handler.
