Here's my recap of game one of the finals! Despite similar numbers in rebounding, assist to turnover ratio, and FG%, the score ended up not being very close; this can likely be attributed to 3's (1-8 vs 6-18) and free throws(12-18 vs 30-35). Baldriz was also held in check on the boards, though did chip in 5 assists with only 1 turnover and 21 points. Bouquillon, meanwhile, has continued to be the "MVP of the playoffs" so far as he went off again, this time going for 37 points, including 5 of their made 3-pointers and going a perfect 6-6 from the free throw line. Looking ahead to the next game, though, if BPE can hit some more 3's, foul a little less while maintaining their solid defense, and get to the free throw line a little more, probably through Baldriz, then they may have a chance to set up a winner take all game 3. In this game, BPE did a good job in the 1st and 3rd quarters of playing Raleigh close, they just weren't able to maintain that going into the half or as the 4th quarter was played. Home court can really make a difference, though.
