After Marion-Franklin beat us (117-84 on Jan. 24), we went back to the drawing board. And they took it easy on us that night. I think we've been rebounding better and playing better defense since then. |
We can't put four good quarters together. Against Independence (79-61 loss Dec. 16) we were up 34-30 at halftime, and then the wheels just fell off us a little. We're not getting consistent scoring from enough people and we've not even been getting close losses like we did last year. A lot of it is that we just need to get consistent play from a lot of different guys. |
We really played Independence pretty well, we just had that bad spell we have every game. I think we're making progress, although it doesn't show in the (wins). Leadership's not been a problem. I think we need more consistent rebounding and better defense. We just have breakdowns that just kill us. |
You have to give all the credit to them -- for the way they shot, for the way they played, for the way they prepared for us. Their inside-out game killed us. |
