That 70s Show

Posted February 5, 2018 / Last updated February 7, 2018

The varsity basketball team had posted a score in the 70s only once this season against Helen Cox in the Newman Tournament, but it took them four overtime periods to do it. This weekend, they did it again … twice. And no overtime periods were necessary.

The Jays shot the 3-point ball at an amazing 62% over the course of the two games, knocking down 24 in total. On the other side of the court, the Jesuit defense limited their opposing teams’ combined score to roughly half as many points as the Jays were able to tally.
