RI 79 BSS 23

We started the game with our usual zone press, getting a lot of steals and fastbreak points. This was one of the better teams overall and managed to break our press a couple of times. But they couldn't get any easy shots off against our half court man to man defense. The first quarter ended 25-2.
In the second, we continued pressing them and getting easy layups on the offensive end. They managed to score a few shots in their half court offense after we weren't able to get some defensive rebounds.

At the start of the second half we did a halfcourt zone press against them, managing to trap the players and getting steals. We took advantage of the weak ball handlers and got easy layups on the other end.
Again, in the fourth, we slowed down and started to play a half court game. We havent been able to hit threes the past few games and continued missing from long range, hitting only 3 threes in the game. We also let the opponents get a couple of offensive rebounds and were punished by second chance points. The final quarter score was 10-8.

We have to learn to control the boards and not allow teams to get second chance points. Also, we should improve on our half court shooting in the next game, especially three pointers. A good performance this game and let's get ready for our next game on Monday.
