Is tonight, I think. Cook team favored, but Pemsl- Kreiner team has done really well without Jok who played only one or two games. Kind of a meaningless championship, but I hope all the Iowa guys play well.
PTL Championship Game
- Thread starter EastIowaHawk
- Start date
They went toe to toe last time. Pemsl and his crew got the better of them. Sounded like an interesting game. I am sure this one will be too.
Highlight video showed a lot of nice moves from Cook, Daily and Kriener. Really impressed with shooting from Daily and Kriener. I like the 10 rebounds from Kriener in a tough competitive game. In an earlier interview Jok mentioned Kriener's shooting ability. Gonna be an interesting fall as playing time is sorted out.
Kriener may be the forgotten man this summer. He and Pemsl combined to lead their team to a 15+ rebound margin, which was the major statistical difference in the game: 82-80 was the score. Brady Ernst was a distant 4th among the big men in this contest, so if one of Pemsl/Kriener blocked out Cook, the other could get the rebound for the most part. Cook continues to hit well from outside: 2/3 from 3.
Not sure the final stats are particularly meaningful. Remember, Fleming led the league in scoring last season.
I think the leading scorers this year will score a few points for their respective teams. The PTL's top scorers were: Lohaus, Morgan, Cook, Moss, and Baer.
