The Austin Toros yet again could not keep up with the Santa
Cruz Warriors.
The score was 117-103 and the Warriors increased their
record to an undefeated 2-0, while the Toros remain winless at 0-2.
After a competitive first quarter, the Warriors outscored
the Toros by 16 points through the next two. Austin made a push in the fourth,
outscoring Santa Cruz 29-25, but it wasn’t good enough.
Eric Dawson led the Toros in scoring with 22 points on
8-of-16 shooting. He pulled down 11 rebounds to make for his second consecutive
double-double.
Five Toros scored in double figures but Nemanja Nedovic and
Dewayne Dedmon combined for 19-of-29 from the field to lead Santa Cruz to
victory. Dedmon was one of three Warriors to record a double-double, grabbing
14 boards. Seth Curry, who dropped 36 last game, scored 10 points with 11
assists; and Hilton Armstrong scored 11 with 12 rebounds.
The Toros could not find the bottom of the net, shooting
43.2% from the field and a putrid 13.3% from deep – on 2-of-15 shooting.
The Warriors, on the other hand, were scorching hot from beyond
the arc. They went 11-for-22 on 50% shooting. Nedovic went a perfect 4-of-4 to
add to his 9-12 field goal shooting.
Simply put, the Toros could not stop the Warriors from
raining it down from deep.
They square off December 1st at home against the
Deleware 87ers.
