Tyler Ulis vs Jalen Brunson Post Mortem!!!!!!

Marian Catholic vs Stevenson!!!!!!! Tyler Ulis vs Jalen Brunson!!!!!! This is my take on the game after the fact. Stevenson won 76-66 and it was a great game and great matchup, one for the ages. Quality basketball by 2 floor generals which you rarely see on the high school level anywhere. My take on how both players did: TYLER ULIS (MARIAN CATHOLIC)- The Kentucky recruit shot 5 for 20 from the field, a bad shooting night and still almost made it right with one fabulous quarter. The shots he took were good shots, shots he would normally make, a lot of in and outs. I think he took one bad shot the whole night. Almost made up for a bad shooting night in the 4th quarter. THE 4TH QUARTER!!!!!! WOW!!!!! He was in one word  "DOMINANT" in that quarter. How dominant? 18 points in the 4th quarter, scored or assisted on 26 straight points!!!!! A 5'9" guard is not supposed to dominate on the high school level like this. Hit long 3 pointers, mid range shots, created wide open shots for his teammates. He ended up with 25 points and 10 assists unofficially( newspapers were wrong with the 23 and 9), he guarded Brunson pretty well when he was on him. It alas was not enough and blamed the loss on himself. Now THAT is what you call a leader on any level. Should be named a McDonald's All-American on Wednesday. JALEN BRUNSON(STEVENSON)-He was steady the whole game, no lulls in his game at all. He has 32 points with about 6 assists, did the things needed to keep his team ahead, made a key bucket to put his team up 8 with 1:20 left in the game, a pretty reverse layup. He only missed 6 shots the whole game, had an off night(for him) at the free throw line with 4 misses. He guarded Ulis for only parts of the game and did a decent job of guarding him. This is an experienced team that was runner-up in 4A last year to Simeon. He will be a McDonald's All-American next season in my opinion. He showed a great lefty three point shot, hit a dagger 3 (it was thought that at the time) at the end of the 3rd quarter with Ulis flying at him. Very heady player, knows how to draw fouls on defenders and get to the line. Made a couple of nice passes to teammates for layups that they blew, so missed out on a couple of assists. WELL THERE YOU HAVE IT, ONE OF THE BEST POINT GUARD MATCHUPS IN YEARS LIVED UP TO THE HYPE!!!!! THING IS THESE TEAMS COULD MEET AGAIN ON A BIGGER STAGE!!!!! THE CLASS 4A STATE SEMIFINALS IN PEORIA!!!!! I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THEM GO AT IT AGAIN!!!!! THIS IS MY RANT FOR TODAY!!!! GOD BLESS AND PEACE TO THE CREATURES!!!!!
