CP 83 - Blaine 70

The Rebels jump on the Bengals and cruise to a 53-35 halftime lead. Theisen chipped in 13 as well but it was Zimmermann's 6 points that where probably more meaningful. With Rodriguez picking up his 2nd foul with about 5 minutes left in the half, Zimmermann was able to get to the basket with no resistance and make good kick outs or score.

The 2nd half begins and the Bengals are able to slow the game down with a barrage of fouls and the Rebels aren't able to get going. The Bengals record their 7th team foul (including 2 weird back to back fouls by David Leafblad within 30 seconds) with 12 minutes left in the game which is Rodriguez's 3rd. Duberry picks up his 3rd foul and heads to the bench which slows the Rebels down even more and seems like the game comes to a screeching halt. The Bengals continue to rack up the fouls as the Rebels would make 1 of 2 free throws with the Bengals scoring on about every other possession.

With Zimmermann relentlessly attacking Rodriguez (16 points) he finally fouls out with about 7 minutes left in the game as Zimmermann tries to take him off the bounce and is fouled at the basket. The Rebels continue to shoot 50% from the free throw line and because of this it keeps the Bengals in the game and down only 13 points with 5 minutes left. The Rebels re-insert Duberry and he gets two quick baskets forcing the Bengals to call a timeout, 74-57.

After the timeout, Billy Giddings (10 points) fouls Duberry and fouls out. The Bengals can't get anything going and this one is over as both teams clear their benches.
