In game 20, Altoona still struggles to get the ball to the post players, still throws precarious passes, and goes absolutely flat shooting the ball for extended periods. This present flat spot has lasted two and a half games. Let's skip the negative and go right to the positive. Chris Buchanan did very well in the fourth quarter for Altoona. Buchanan is a sophomore, so pinning immediate hopes on him isn't fair, but at least Chris took the ball to the hoop when he could, scored 10 points, and kicked it back out when he had to.
State is vulnerable to post play.
It took Altoona way too long to exploit it last night. Altoona is now 7-13. State is 11-10, and clinched the MAC with that win. Most important is the fact that State College is just better than Altoona right now. I'm sure these kids don't want that to be true, and are working hard to prevent it from being realized.
