I took a quick look at their website. They don't look that big and I would guess that like many opponents that GB has an advantage in athletic ability as well. Coach Wardle said they are tough team and play hard, so maybe they give GB a run for a little bit but in the end this should be a double digit win.

Excited to see more of newcomers Garret and Lowe. Lowe was awesome versus Wisconsin.

Phoenix roll 92-57. Alec Brown with a triple double, Keifer Sykes with 21 points in 25 minutes with just 8 shots from the floor. Team makes 5-9 from long range, including 2 late from Turner Botz.
M-D guard and De Pere native Reece Zoelle had some nice moments, but also took way too many contested shots. Zoelle had a walk-on offer from the Phoenix out of HS.
Lamin Fulton started at SG, but failed to distinguish himself. Carrington Love had his best game off the bench, and is shooting 36% on 3s.
Kenneth Lowe, after an outstanding game against Wisconsin, struggled and fouled out in 7 minutes. Vince Garret continues to produce consistently.

This maybe a truely special team only time will tell. Right now the only thing holding them back are TO's and FT shooting. That can be explained by all the players they've used and when they get to a 8 man rotation that has to get better. After this game 3pt shooting maybe there. Go to Alaska men and make us proud to be Phoenix fans.

I thought this game was a good example of the Phoenix being a victim of their own style and athletic ability. In their effort to push the pace and get up court they made a lot of simple mistakes. I don't know if they tried to much or because the game was in hand they got a little sloppy. Either way, if they have that in Alaska it won't go over nearly as well.
I love to see Keifer getting so many easy baskets. He is the best player on the court and yet he still was getting wide open, good sign. Alec's shot wasn't there but he kept after it and picked up a triple double, that is nice place to build from.
I would really like to see Fouse get going on offense. His rebounding defense are in mid season form, now it is time to show if he has expanded offensive ability.
The free throw shooting wasn't good but it certainly didn't help that Humphrey went 1-6 from the line. As I said earlier this season I am not too worried about his shooting since I don't see him in the 9 man rotation. At this point it looks like Coach Wardle is going to play Sykes, Fulton, Fouse, Mays, Brown, Love, Garrett, Lowe and McKinnie.
