ALL IOWA ATTACK TOOK ON THE ILLINOIS WARRIORS

There’s a buzz in the air and it regards All Iowa Attack player Harrison Barnes. Coming into this tournament he was the talk of the tournament. He is undecided about where he wants to go to college but according to Rivals.com the University of Minnesota is very high on his list. He wears number 43 for his jersey.

The Illinois Warriors showed up right at game time. I don’t know if that was planning on the Warriors part or not but they showed up right at game time. There was a slight delay in starting the game but the game did get started.
The Warriors looked to attract the basket in the early goings of the game. Neither team was able to shoot the ball that well to open the game up. The Warriors got out to an early 6-0 lead with 13:38 left in the half.

Harrison Barns came to life later in the first half. In the first half he really looked to get his teammates into the game. He is so lanky and he knows s the court. He also has the dribble skills as a guard and he is quick enough that he can dribble his way in and out of traffic.

Both of these teams went up and down in the first half. Neither team gave the other a break. The Illinois Warriors kept pace with the All Iowa Attack team in the first half. Each team was able to keep the other one in check throughout the first half. The score went back and forth for a bit in the first half as each team put up a good fight throughout the first half.

At half time the score was The Illinois Warriors 35 and All Iowa 39.

Both teams went at each other the whole game neither team gave up the whole game. Both teams kept the game close.

The Illinois Warriors played a half court man to man defense throughout the second half. They made a run at All Iowa Attack late in the game.

All Iowa had a 1 point lead with a minute left to go in regulation. The game was tied at 72 at the end of the regulation period and they played a 3:00 over time period.

In the overtime period both teams started off where they left off shooting the ball. The Illinois Warriors were able to get a quick lead in the overtime period and All Iowa put on a run late in the over time was not able to make the comeback happen. It was a great game and Barns was the man. The final of the game was The Illinois Warriors 82 and All Iowa Attack 80.

As I sat and watched this game I had my mind on watching Harrison Barns. I did like what I saw. I can say that I am not someone that goes out and evaluates players every night of the week. I like to see a kid who the experts are saying is the top kid is and see them for myself. I do see a lot of basketball and I must say Harrison Barns is by far one of the best players that I have seen so far this AAU season. He is quick and lengthy and he can really get the ball up the court. He can easily slam dunk the basketball from like anywhere on the court it seems like. I do have to concur with the recruiting experts on this one. Harrison Barns is a top notch player who will do some major damage this summer and where ever he is recruited to play college ball.
