IT’S TOUGH AT THE TOP
February 6, 2018
A TOUGH, UNCOMPROMISING BATTLE TOOK PLACE AT HEREWARD COLLEGE WHEN WARWICK UNIVERSITY PUSHED THE LEADERS ALL THE WAY BEFORE TROJANS EVENTUALLY WON 89-73.
THE CONSTANT THREAT TO TROJANS DOMINANCE WAS UNIVERSITY’S SHAQ AMON-RA WHO SANK TEN, YES TEN THREE-POINTERS WITH EIGHT IN THE SECOND HALF, AND, EVEN THOUGH TROJANS WERE IN CONTROL, HE WAS A CONSTANT THREAT WITH HIS DYNAMIC SHOOTING.
AS IT WAS, TROJANS CAME FROM BEHIND TO TAKE A 38-29 HALF-TIME LEAD, EXTENDING THIS TO 47-33 BEFORE SHAQ’S ONE-MAN SHOW NARROWED IT TO FIVE.
TROJANS THEN KILLED OFF THE GAME IN THE LAST QUARTER BEFORE ANOTHER BURST BROUGHT THE FINAL SCORE. ASH DINCKSON MADE 31 WITH AMON-RA TOPPING THAT ON 37.
