I'm not surprised by the score. MPCG isn't going to turn it over and their youngest starter is two years older than BC's oldest starter.

Actually, BC defense forced MPCG to turn it over quite a bit, probably a lot more than they usually do. I don't have any stats, but MPCG probably had 20 turnovers last night. BC struggled to score against MPCG defensive quickness. They have speed at all 5 positions, even when they play 7-8 deep. They are all also fundamentally sound and disciplined on both ends of the court. Fun to see them in person last night and a good learning experience for a young BC team.

Too bad we don't get to see a regular season matchup with MPCG and Langdon. If they meet in the region tourney, that should be a great game. MPCG vs Carrington to end the season should be a nice test for them too.
