 Border War Part I: Yotes Prevail
even the very late arrival of lakdod could not make a difference.
yotes win late, 66-58.
it was a story of three statistics.
the first was 14-5. broncos win/lose with most turnovers by a wide margin. if you can't control the ball you aren't likely to win. this is the worst differential in memory.
the second was 35-20. when you get outrebounded almost two to one on your home floor you simply are not hustling enough. simply put, the yotes just wanted this game more than we did. we had almost ZERO presence inside. D-wayne and toby did almost nothing on the glass and failed to score inside.
the final number was 1302. that was the freakin' attendance number posted for a crowd that clearly was SMALLER than at the UCSD game, which was the first pack the gym. in that case dopey joe from kokomo reported the attendance barely above 950....duh......
bottom line, broncos fall a game back in the conference race and now must win some big games on the road. and that's assuming we sweep this weekend against the toros and eagles.
welcome back paul helms. we surely miss you and the good old days.
