Game Two: 2018-2019 (#4) basketball versus 1999-2000 (#5)
Upset Alert! Truth be told the outcome of this game did not surprise me at all. I assumed Tamar Slay would be an impossible match-up for the 2018-2019 squad and that's exactly what happened. The 2nd round NBA pick poured in 25 points and snagged 10 rebounds while fellow all-time-great J.R. Vanhoose also recorded a double-double with 14 points and 12 rebounds. As a team the 1999-2000 team dominated on the glass, winning the overall rebound battle 48-38.
Jon Elmore scored 26 points for the 2018-2019 team (on 23 shots) but received very little help from his teammates. Taevion Kinsey, Jarrod West and Jannson Williams all combined to only score 16 points.
