Continuing the discussion from Metro Match Ups Tonight:
As noted, many, many contributions, but the key to the game was the decision to relieve Kenny Noland of having to guard the super quick Edmead for the whole game. Franklin guarded Edmead for more than half of the game and did well. Kenny was spectacular. He brought the ball up against Edmead’s press the entire game, guarded Edmead for about 15 or so minutes, scored 19, shot 5-8 from deep, hit both key FTs at the end and played 36 minutes with only 2 TOs.
