- The first basket came after previous misses. It was a great move as Moody ball faked left, attacked right, and scored over the helping defender with an And1. 3pts
- I’ve gone into watching this film knowing that there are 56 points to be scored and after seven minutes it’s hard to believe as Aanen has had some bad misses and then at one point he had back to back turnovers.
- Love how he has passed the ball in this half. Despite all the attention the defense gives him Moody’s head is up and he finds ways to move the ball quickly.
- Does a great job drawing contact. Has the body control to move into the defender’s space, force some type of contact, and then try and follow through with the play. That just led to a pair of foul shots. 7pts
- Took a d-board, flew by two retreating defenders, saw Roberts in the paint, left his feet and moved around Roberts for a gorgeous finger roll. 9pts
- Seconds later Aanen’s defender moving weakly off a screen while Aanen cut very hard to the arc, caught, drained from 22 feet, was fouled, hit the foul shot. A four play showing range, touch, and the ability to hit contested attempts. 13pts
- Curled a screen tightly on a baseline in-bounds play and that tight curl off his man left no room for the trailing defense and Moody sprinted ahead, caught, squared his shoulders, lifted, and hit. 15pts.
- Caught in transition, so a slow footed closeout from Roberts meaning he wasn’t in a stance to cut Aanen off, Moody attacked hard left into space and nailed a pretty 15 foot pull-up. 20pts.
- Hey Trevor Ouellette! When a guy has 22 points in 24 minutes of play and he cuts wide open in front of you, and you don’t have another pass, and he is still wide open in front of you, pass him the ball and don’t get a five second call. Kids.
- Beat an athletic Booker to the corner, jumped for a one hand touch shot before two helping defenders could try and contest his shot. Very difficult kiss of the glass and that was followed ten seconds later by an And1 in transition where Aanen’s angle was tough bet he took contact and finished. Free throw too. 29pts.
- Hit an NBA range one dribble pull-up from way past where a defender thinks they should start defending and then went down and stole a pass for an open floor lay-up. Really like his activity at the top of their zone which looks like a 3-2. 34pts
- Love how Aanen curls screens. Yet again he curled one tightly squeezing his man off behind him, cut hard off that screen, caught and hit. 36pts.
- The pick and roll combination of Moody and Meidinger had Minot turning in circles. They had trouble with how to defend it all night and Moody did a nice job leading Jordan for scores.
- Aanen faded off a screen, caught, dribble separated a guy to the point you wondered if the defender needed a trainer for his knees, and then hit a pull-up at the arc. Minot had a terrible time keeping up with him moving around screens all night an the half court sets were well planned for Moody to hit. 42pts
- Wow, three trips in a row, three straight made treys. 45pts
- Somehow with only a little time remaining, Moody explodes by the first guy and all of the Minot help defenders just part ways and Moody with the easiest And1 at the end of the game ever. 48pts
- First score in overtime was a baseline attack move and his teammate sealed off the help so Moody glided to the room for the score. His first move was too tough to stop for any Minot player and when the help wasn’t in time he couldn’t be stopped. 50pts
- Knocked out a nasty NBA pull-up trey that was hotly contested after the game was pretty much decided in overtime. 54pts
- I must of missed a basket someplace. Had 56.
