Despite the fact that we struggled so much, I thought we hung in there with our effort. I wasn't disappointed in our effort, but I was very disappointed in our execution. |
Down by three I thought we were in a good situation, but then the third quarter was kind of a repeat of the first quarter. We gave up points and we couldn't connect on shots. |
If we weren't scoring in transition we were having a heck of a time scoring. And if we didn't defend in our trap we had a heck of a time defending. |
Their first seven (players) are real interesting because they're almost like clones. They just took it to us. |
We came out soft and slow, got going in the second and had the defense really save us in the third and fourth quarters. |
We did very well in the second quarter, and that has been a microcosm of our season. We play a good quarter and then not be so effective in another quarter. But our defense played pretty well throughout. |
We missed more than our share of shots close to the basket in that second quarter in particular. So that was the ball game. We missed about seven or eight point-blank shots in the first half. |
We're a team that relies on balanced scoring, and when we get that we can usually pull out a victory. We had three guys in double figures and another with eight points, and that translated into a victory. |
You are always disappointed with a loss, but I'm more disappointed in how we lost. R-B is a good team and deserved to win, but I think we lost with a very sub-par effort and sub-par performance. |
