The Huskies came out of the break rusty and played a very sluggish first half. We settled for a lot of tough looks early, were punished on the offensive glass, and were sloppy in our execution. We found ourselves down 9 heading into the half.
At the start of the second, it was a lot of the same and with 15 minutes remaining, the Huskies were down 13. We were able to generate some momentum on the defensive end, which was led by Ty Tabales. We were able to force turnovers and create easier looks. Jayden Harrington buried a clutch corner 3 as the shot clock expired which put the Huskies up for good.
We were able to close out the final 15 minutes on a +25 point differential and held off a feisty Vermont Academy team on the road to move to 3-0 in AAA (all on the road!)
The Huskies had 5 players reach double figures: Keyshuan Tillery (24 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal and 1 block), Naz Meyer (18 points, 7 rebounds, 2 steals, 1 assists and 1 block), Mason Blackwood (14 points, 8 rebounds, 2 steals, 1 assist and 1 block), Ty Tabales (12 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal) and Chad Cook (10 points, 3 rebounds and 2 steals).
