The defensive stalemate actually started with a contested three pointer by Depaul’s Jalen Coleman-Lands. This wasn’t responded for a couple of minutes as Tech had a ton of difficulty with the Demon’s defense. The scoring actually started with seldom scoring Avery Benson hitting a critical three point shot. Moretti added one as well and the score was tied after 4 minutes.
Quick trigger.
After a slow start, we're tied at the under-16.
