Game 792 - Marshall at Toledo

December 8 at Savage Arena in Toledo, OH
ESPN+

This was our first time watching Luke Knapke play and the Toledo senior was impressive.

Knapke scored a career-high 33 points on 12-of-16 shooting and grabbed 11 rebounds in the Rockets' 82-72 win.

Knapke, a 6-11 center, can score from anywhere and he added four threes.

Point guard Marreon Jackson had four threes as well and added 24 points and five assists for Toledo, which defeated the Thundering Herd for the second time in a month (96-70 back on November 10) and since losing by two in overtime at Notre Dame November 21 have won four straight.

"guys who play above the rim....this dude can play in the rafters!"
"ball security"
"that junkyard dog mentality"
"paralysis by analysis"
"great step through"
"turning defense into offense"
"early energy"
"dribble drive" (!) - Boyd, 17:59 left in first half

"dribble penetration"

We've talked about "dribble drive" before on this site. It isn't anything because the next drive attempted without dribbling will be called traveling.

Dribble penetration seems to be the cousin of dribble drive because, again, is there penetration into the lane without also dribbling?

Our next mission at 200 Game Season is to hear "dribble drive penetration".

Make it happen, Bill Raftery.

Game 52 - Marshall vs. West Virginia

December 17 at Charleston Civic Center in Charleston, WV
ESPNU

After a tight first half, it was easy to see over the final 20 minutes why West Virginia could at least be a Sweet 16 team in March.

Marshall hit six of its first 12 three-point attempts, led by as much as five points and eventually trailed only 35-32 at halftime. The second half was a different story as the Thundering Herd missed all 13 attempts from behind the arc and WVU's pressure eventually was far too much for its in-state rival to handle in a 86-68 final.

The Mountaineers were the best offensive rebounding team in the country coming in and they showed why, grabbing 22 in 40 minutes. 

This list of the top 10 offensive rebounding teams is so random & great:

1. WVU
2. Quinnipiac
3. Washington
4. Texas-Arlington
5. Baylor
6. Wagner
7. Georgia Tech
8. Towson
9. N.C. State
10. N.C. Central
