Where did the Cardinals win this game? Seems like I’m singing the same old song, but the GLASS! When the Cardinals out rebound their opponent their victory percentage increases astronomically. The Cardinals grabbed 31 rebounds compared to Union’s 17. I got another song, “WHERE’S THE BLOCK PARTY AT”! The Cardinals combined for 9 rejections (led by Dii’Jon Allen-Jordan’s 4 rejections) which is actually sub par for the Plainfield crew over the last 4 games. The youthful Cards have averaged 10 rejections per game over the last 4 which included Thomas Jefferson (NY) and Linden.
