Coach’s Comment: “An undermanned Geelong and an equally undermanned Tigers outfit battled it out in what was a very scrappy and defensive oriented three quarters of basketball. The Cats flicked the switch in the last quarter finishing off the game with a 14-4 run. Credit to all the boys for stepping up in the absence of three starters.”
