Eisenhower, Pasadena tied after first quarter, 13-13

Eisenhower finally connected on its first 3-point shot with 30 seconds left in the opening quarter when Keyon Sayles buried one from the corner to give Ike a 13-11 lead. But Pasadena point guard George Toyama, who has been generating most of his team's offense thus far, drew a questionable blocking call on the Eagles with 6.6 ticks left in the quarter. He made both free throws to tie the game at 13 before Gardner missed a free throw-line jumper at the buzzer.

Ike finished the first quarter 1-of-5 from 3-point land and 5-of-15 from the field. Pasadena shot 5-of-13 from the field, but the difference was the larger Bulldogs' misses came from much closer range than those from Ike's diminutive lineup.
