It will be interesting to see how Smyrn deals w/ that pressure that is about to come from Dover in the second half. Win or lose though Smyrna is a scrappy team that competes every night.

Smyrna is giving Dover fits. They up 47-34 with 5 mins left in the 3rd.

Referees are terrible on both ends.

Great team win! Game of the week. Not sure why DOVER waited until the end to apply that kind of pressure when they have the pieces to do that the entire game. Then again, I know why. If they apply that kind of pressure, no team will stand a chance in my opinion.

I never understood why teams wait to press if it has been proven that it works for you as a team. Back in the day Dover was known for pressing all game & it worked for them.

For sure, game of the year.

Dover seemed to be content with playing one on one basketball. Didn’t see many plays tonight. Talent won the game tonight.

I believe Dover was going off the Smyrna game plan from the first meeting in which Smyrna played some man to man and zone but this time around Smyrna game plan was very strategic with a triangle and 2 and Dover wasn't prepared for that at all

Dover rarely seems to run an offense. The coach lets them play too much one on one.

That’s not true at all lol. He runs several sets in order to get his scorers involved. The reality is you don’t have to run offense every single time down the floor! A lot of their points come from defense and transition..... #5 in all honesty doesn’t need a play ran for him because he has a mismatch every single night. The goal is to get good shots and that isn’t only achieved running plays. They haven’t lost a conference game in almost 2 years!

Called bad coaching.. You is 100% correct.. Did same thing in Tech game. Waited after halftime to apply pressure.. Keep playing with fire you going get burned... Allowing teams to stay close for No reason.. I like Smyrna A lot but missing one more scorer.. Allen has Player of Year locked .. No debate at all.. Not even close...

Superior talent covers up inept coaching in D-town, for years.
