RI beats East View 80-24

In a game played yesterday, we beat East View Secondary 80-24.

As the game started, we were at first taken by some surprise as East View scored the first two points. We quickly got back in control, however, and took back the lead which we did not lose for the remaining of the match. There was good finishing on the fast break, and we pulled ahead on these baskets and also got alot of our points down low.

The other team looked lost for options save for the occasional rebound by tall man #13. Still, they resorted to flinging wild shots from the perimeter which allowed us to start attacking quickly. We managed to have good bench rotation, with everybody playing a fair amount. The disparity in physical levels could be seen too as everyone had no trouble keeping up physically.

We had the opportunity to practice some defences but it seems that we still have to work on certain aspects of our defence. Overall, it was a good game, and we will certainly be looking to improve on our defence, finishing down low, and most importantly, have fun playing this tournament.
