RI 65 Yuying 68

Our goal at the start of the match was to limit their three pointers and crash the boards against their big men. We did just that in the first quarter, forcing them to take contested shots. We lead 21-12.

However, things went wrong in the second. They started hitting many threes and finding the open guy. We did not communicate and this led to easy layups.

In the third, things were tight and the teams went back and forth. In the last quarter, we gave it our all, pressuring them and forcing them to turn the ball over. The game went down to the wire, and unfortunately they made a three point play in the last few seconds and got the win.

We worked really hard this game and came up short again. It was a painful, but we have to learn from these losses and make sure not to make the same mistakes in the nationals.

Let's all train hard these few weeks and give it our all in the nationals, even though we may be underdogs, we will fight to the very end.
