Game Overview
Central West Virginia were looking to defend their #1 ranking in the region they worked so hard to obtain
during the season. Bridges had missed games prior to the regional tournament due to flu like symptoms. While still suffering
from his sickness Bridges played in the game and picked up right where he left off during the regular season as one of the
most explosive, versatile and athletic players in the nation.
"I'm telling you what, that Bridges is some kind of player both defensively and offensively. He's so
tough to guard because he can score from the outside and can break a defensive down with his penetration to the basket and
score or give nice passes to his teammates so they can easily score as well. He's quick to the hole in the post area (had
impressive put backs on post moves) and he can rebound. Defensively he had my players changing their shots, deflecting their
passes, and we were trying to run our plays away from him but he seemed to be everywhere on defense (on and off the stat sheets
he is a tremendous player) Bridges is tough !!
