89-76 win to the Warriors gives them the advantage if the race for the finals gets any closer (Sturt won by 12 last time).
Birmingham had 19 and 11 for Woodville. Good spread of scorers but Puddifoot wasn't at his best -- fouled out (5 fouls well before half-time, including a tech). Woodville got the early lead, but Sturt pulled it back in the second quarter, holding the Warriors to a ten point quarter. From there, it was mostly very even until Woodville got some easy layups in the last 5 minutes to grab a lead and hold it.
Poor shooting display after last weekend at Pasadena -- Sturt shot 32% and the Warriors about 37%. 23 Turnovers to the Sabres and narrowly lost the boards (61-64 from memory).
For Sturt, Forman had 23 points, 21 rebounds and 4 assists but shot 7-22 from the field (2-8 threes) and 7-12 FT. Rebounded well, but not his best shooting game. I think Finkemeyer had about 14, 7 and 4 blocks. Ng had 19 or so. Sturt regained Hackendorf, and had James-Martin back for 8 minutes before he began limping a bit and subbed himself out. Shepherd had 6 assists (not on my usual laptop, don't have the boxscore, and going from memory).
A lot of offensive fouls called on Sturt (some likely correct -- hard to see -- but some I thought were wrongly called: e.g., Wilson darts in front of Ng giving him no chance to get out of the way, etc). That's not an excuse though -- for Sturt to win that game they needed to make more baskets and stop easy layups.
Quite an entertaining game with a lot of transition steals and the like.
