The low-scoring games featured tough defense as their calling card. It resulted in a tight, baskets-tough-to-come by game.
"We knew it would be tough to score," said Larned coach Jerrod Smith. "It always is against a Danny Smith-coached team. We knew turnovers would be big, and they were, as was the rebounding. Even though we lost, we played hard and competed. We need to get better at the little things."
Both teams switched to zone defenses as fatigue from back-to-back games took its toll. St. John used a ball-control offense throughout the fourth quarter. Three free throws attempted in the game.
The Tigers made 16 of 42 field goals for 38%.St. John improves to 3-1 with the win.
