#American headway 1 3e series
17 Tennessee 71-53 in the first game of this four-team event) on a one-day turnaround, keep an eye out for that when the teams play Sunday in the championship here at Mohegan Sun.American Headway is a multi-level series for adults and young adults who want to use American English both accurately and fluently. And given Painter said it's "kind of impossible" to properly prepare for No. (Conspicuously, Purdue had only two second half turnovers on Saturday.) Defensively, there's obviously concerns. Painter said this team can't average 90 for the season, but still: this could wind up being as complete of a group on the offensive end as he's had. Saturday marked the first time the Boilers started a season dropping 90 or more in four straight games. The Big Ten's been iffy to start, but the Boilermakers are an exception to that. What a show this team put on Saturday, which doubled as its first real test of the season. Just to have him on our team is a blessing, for real."Īnd then there's the 7-4 Canadian (Edey) who's only in his fifth season of organized basketball (and is only getting better). "This dude is a leader," Ivey said of Williams. He had 10 points and three rebounds in the final six-plus minutes. On the first play, he backed down Garcia in the post and got a bucket.
At that point Painter knew it was time for Williams to stay in for the remainder of the game, so he checked him in. UNC cut the Purdue lead to 74-72 with 6:39 to go. If Ivey's sequence flipped the game back, Williams' array of plays ended all doubt.
After combining to score six points in 12 minutes with Edey in the first half, Williams effectively ended UNC's hope. As anyone who knows basketball will tell you, the important time is how you finish. Being that he's a big, and so is Edey, Painter doesn't put both on the floor at the same time. Williams ranked sixth in our preseason list of the best players in college basketball. Like, he finishes games, and when things count just makes play after play. "He's never been consistent as a starter, but I've never been around somebody that can just have an awful first half, then be the best player in college basketball in the second half.
"Trevion Williams is a great finisher - he's never been a good starter of a game," Painter said. Purdue is now up eight and Ivey is gesturing at the crowd as if to say, "This is my game!" (only he didn't say "game") and North Carolina has no idea what's happened. The pass is made, Ivey angles in, draws contact and makes an awkward bucket in transition. Edey rebound, pass to Thompson, who - hello! - has Ivey trailing him until he's not, because they're side by side. Edey - a massive human he's 7-foot-4 and looks every centimeter of that - interrupts matters. On the ensuing possession, Walton tries to cut the lead to four with a shot close to the rim. Ivey's pass hits Thompson in stride perfectly. He's got Carolina's defenders in retreat, but he stops right of the foul line and sends a pass to his left - Isaiah Thompson's wide open in the corner.
Ivey picks up the rebound and is off to the races again. Next play: UNC's Caleb Love can't convert on a move inside. As Ivey continued to make headway to the rim, he duped three UNC defenders into his area like a tractor beam. He grabbed Walton's miss near the baseline, then pushed up the floor. Tar Heels guard Kerwin Walton missed a 3-pointer, and the game was set to tilt permanently in Purdue's favor. After Purdue center Zach Edey went 1 for 2 from the foul line on the ensuing possession, UNC had a chance to retake the lead. And it was going to shut, in real time, in less than three minutes. Talented Marquette transfer Dawson Garcia hit a 3-pointer from the wing with 9:21 remaining to make it a 65-64 game.Ĭarolina didn't know it, but this was its window. 18 North Carolina in the Hall of Fame Tip-Off Tournament on Saturday, the Tar Heels finally found a way to earn the lead - their first - against the Boilermakers. Just over midway through the second half of sixth-ranked Purdue's 93-84 win vs. Just four games into his sophomore season, though, evolution and progress are taking shape. That's the thrill, and the danger, of it all.Īs enrapturing as Ivey's game can be, he also still has the penchant to vex. Jaden Ivey, at times, appears to hold the game on a string.
