ISIBL U16 RI 19-24 Pres High

The match was played in RI on 14th September at 4pm. This was essentially a poor match, filled with missed underbaskets and bad defense. In the 1st quarter, we started off extremely poorly, being very tentative on offense and not finding our shots. Our wings did not drive to the basket enough and we made several bad passes which led to fast breaks on the other end. We could not find our shots, and our man-to-man defense was not 'tight' enough and allowed the twins: Brendi and Brenwin to drive us constantly.

In the 2nd quarter, we came back stronger and played much better. We started looking for shots, and our offense finally got going, and we dropped the ball to the posts more often and scored better. In the 3rd quarter, we fell behind, allowing for easy drives and shots, and not finishing our underbaskets and converting the easy shots. In that quarter alone, we trailed 2-7.

In the last quarter, we pushed for the win, and we played a lot better than the previous three quarters, and scored more than the other quarters combined. We got the ball into the posts, we found our shots and we pushed hard. However, our defense led us down and we never were able to stop then twins, allowing them to score just enough points to beat us 24-19.
