Watson finished the game with 14 points, eight assists, and four steals, shooting over 58 percent from the field.
“Their guards are very crafty,” Amaker said. “They do a very good job creating for others….Watson is good, he is very difficult. He is quick and can go either way. He is a terrific finisher and a guy who can make shots around the goal over bigger players.”
Watson was helped on the offensive end by senior forward Dom Morris, who notched 15 points and nine boards, while committing five turnovers.
One of the Crimson’s biggest scares of the night was the rolled ankle Chambers suffered towards the close of regulation. After remaining on the ground for nearly a minute, Chambers was able to return to action. Meanwhile, co-captain guard Brandyn Curry and junior forward Kenyatta Smith still remained sidelined with foot injuries.
However, about five game-minutes after Chambers rose from the floor, the focus on the team’s scares turned into a focus on the teams’ scores, as the Crimson had officially put away its Boston counterparts.
“I like big challenges and I know our team likes big challenges,” Chambers said. “We are going to get everyone’s best shot and those are the games we want to play in. That’s how we prepare and that’s how Coach prepares us. It is fun to play against…a team like that.”
