And welcome back to beautiful Las Vegas, Nevada, where we are ready for our second game of the day here at the college basketball crowd semi-finals. We'll talk a little bit more about it where you down gets in those big bodies inside. You see it early right there in the paint. It didn't take long. Obioha, West Virginia 19 and 14. They were nine and nine in big 12 play. And he knocks his first shot down. Like Al Golden said, I mean, he was a strong Lorient He'll pop around that screen again, dialing it up. Back-to-back J's. The Chattanooga transfer who won the NIT last year with Chattanooga. Good protection and rebounding, but he can stretch the floor. I know he missed two, but you'd love to have that threat on the court. Western off the
glass and in for DJ Thomas. That's just off the bench and that's Lots of Greer. He knocks down the shot for three again. Gets it outside and DJ Thomas drills the jumper. Dicks crosses over down the lane. The teardrop gets the bounce. Yes. He said they didn't make it to the NCAA tournament. And the Bison were the only team to give Michigan a hard time so far this tournament. Timmy Blake, we had a great time covering that game. Pop on the baseline. Obioha with the handoff. Eagles stab mid-range, counted.
Pop again. This time contested by Dicks. So, West Virginia gets the rebound inside and a nice move by Chance Moore. Guaranteed a land to be a off deflection by Craig and now It's a beautiful middle pick and roll with Harper and Thomas. Baseline pull-up jump shot and this time Josh Dicks follows through and knocks it in. Inside, up and in again. DJ Thomas. Pop, hard drive to the basket. Right hand up on the left side goes down. Harper off barking out orders to players. Maybe barking back. That's right. And another nice shot for DJ Thomas.
Harper, lefty, baseline, elevates and rattles it in. Graves pivots, lefty, two feet, baby. Two feet, reverse pivot. Dicks And now Greer trying to find a little rhythm here kind of like they did against Rutgers kind of their sea legs. But what Josh Dicks is able to do because he's such a potent shooter from behind three, you forget his ability to put it on the deck. a little bit of that wealth with your managers. They get a little piece of it, too. Lorient with it there by Greer. He lost it. Oh, Obioha! Two hands left. See, in that time Greer did everything right.
Backdoor Dicks, quick move. Pop gets it on the bounce. Greer with the rebound. Harper with the hard push. Greer with six boards. Harper to the most right hand. Floater goes down. Blake Harper had him up. Lorient Sometimes you have creative sprints. Lorient hanging in the air and lays it down. 36-32 Pop, nice pocket. Obioha, easy layup. Harper's getting secures $100,000 and have a chance to play for $300,000 tomorrow. Meanwhile, Chance Moore picking up the loose. West Virginia in transition.
Baseline jumper Just Lots of Greer. Beautiful team by 11. Eagles stab answers. Second half, Graves Greer backdoor Dicks. How simple can it get? A little curl Greer high inside off the glass, counted. Lorient We've studied a lot of this. The Lakers open with a slot cut and then excellent footwork. Yeah. Dicks with size that time. Dicks right there. That's the time he was able to use his size to shoot over Harper. Speaking of Western, Eagles stab He got rolling into the second half at Stanford. These teams are trading buckets now.
Lorient Okay. He starts with the younger kids. You even give them the push shot because you're trying to shoot two feet before your body is strong enough to shoot it. You can definitely tell he's been doing so. Wouldn't you say that Steph Curry has a push shot? The best push shot ever. And that's right. I guarantee you when he was little He knocked him down. Lots of Greer in the game now. He had a good first half. Drives straight to the basket. Uses that 6'7" frame.
Moore now driving. Kicks it in the corner. Thomas trying to pop Greer. Oh, Dicks through. In your day that was a traveling. Set up. I know he's struggling with his shot. Speaking of his managers, that's right. And Lorient scores. TRIED TO INSIDE. NICE PLAY. OBIOHA WITH the finish. But what a dive by Connor Harper. Manipulate the screen, play with it a little bit, then you're you're giving your post player enough time to clear the space and shout out to the camera guy right there.
Here's Lorient on the baseline. Got it around, picked up and deposited by DJ Thomas. But it's the defense that really is paved the way. Guarding the three-point line. Greer backs his way all the way to the basket. Zugic Nice little pass inside from Dicks to Greer. Dicks I turned it a lot of times. 66-58. Does Greer have a comeback in him? A lot of time left. 6:30 to go. Eagles stab changed his number at halftime.
Pushes it to Dicks down the lane. Nice bounce pass. Sharing the sugar. The five Greer just hanging around, though. I mean, just hanging challenge it. I think they got that confirmation as well and as a result Eagles stab gets down the trip. Right back at them. Five assists 48 minutes. And you guys won it by one, 124-123. You still remember that? And have an opportunity to play for $300,000 tomorrow. Rebound inside and a jam by Chance Moore. Man, all kinds of Lorient slipped to the basket. Lorient That is my Abby in South Beach thing, man.
Oh, great. Graves got it to trickle in. Being a pressing team, West Virginia breaks it easily. Greer and Lorient took off. Eagles stab to the right. How simple can it get? Between honey-do lists and some tea time and still coaching. And I Baseline, up and in for Jermaine Thomas. Wouldn't be surprised if he drained after he gets a chance to take some time off. And when you West Virginia They did it on both ends of the floor.
Chance Moore caught him sleeping and he'll jam it down for two. And West Virginia played suffocating defense, limiting the Blue Jays to 25% from the three-point line. And coach Mack by Huggins. And more importantly, West Virginia imposed their will early by dominating the paint.
