It's been Harrow's game so far, and he executed two spectacular plays in the second half to affirm that. Harrow was the recipient of an alley-oop, and faked a McEachern defender behind his back on a fast break, freeing himself for a lay-up. Rice set the tone for the game by dunking off the opening tip, and kick-started a Walton 10-0 run in the second quarter with the score 26-20. Rice hit a three-pointer to make it 29-20, and Gerald Williams hit two trifectas back-to-back to make it 35-20 in the blink of an eye. A made free throw completed the 10-0 run for the Raiders.
Walton is generating a lot of steals on McEachern's homecourt. Trae Golden is keeping McEachern in relative striking distance with a monumental 23 points in the first half, with his teammates only chipping in seven total points in two quarters. We'll see if big-time players like Colin and Charlie Reddick, Kadeem Batts and Alioune Diouf can give him a little help when action gets back underway.
Oh yeah, and Paul Hewitt is in the crowd after coaching Georgia Tech up at Chapel Hill earlier in the day ...
