Around NBL: Big Ben's venom wasted
And by "needed execution", I mean at dawn, and by firing squad.
However, Woolie also was a tad remiss leaving - wait for it because you won't believe it - Ben Allen anchored to the bench.
Yeah, that's right - Ben "Am I In A Different Time Zone Now Cause I Feel Like a Nap" Allen.
When he hit the hardwood replacing Luke "Use The Porce-elain" Schenscher with 4:36 left in the first period, he was surprisingly active.
(Well, I was surprised.)
He grabbed a board, he had a steal and he scored six points in the first half.
His 2-of-2 free throws came after he was fouled on an aggressive charge at the basket where he looked like he had venom in his eyes and lava in his veins.
Not sure whether it was just the progress he has started to make as an NBL player (credit Pat Reidy some for that), whether it was being in Adelaide where, or so I have heard, he has the odd critic, or whether it was bumping around his former St Mary's college teammate Diamon Simpson.
