CCSF over Cabrillo

Caught the Cabrillo College - City College of San Francisco matchup last night -- it turned out to be an 82-51 victory for the visiting Rams.

CCSF led 44-26 at the half but the Seahawks held an 11-8 early lead before all went the way of Coach Justin Lebagh's group as Cabrillo got "Dulani-ed" or "Robinson-ed" -- take your pick.

The undefeated Rams (15-0) are likely to remain so for the season (just what Coach Labagh wants to read) and here's the rationale for such a prediction:

* Athleticism - nobody else has the same bevy of athletes as those residing on the Ram roster

* Defense - comes first like it's in the DNA of the CCSF players as they pressure one-on-one on the outside like madmen and overplay/ballhawk on even basic passes

* Unselfishness - if 'D' is first, next to it is unselfishness as on one play in the first half there were four passes all in the paint from different Ram players as each could have gone up but sacrificed that for an even better look for a teammate

CCSF is not necessarily a great shooting team but athleticism, defense and unselfishness don't take nights off like a shooting touch can do.

For Cabrillo, Northern Arizona bounceback Colin Gruber totaled a very well-earned 16 points.
