RI 50 - 25 ACS Barker

This was the 2nd game of the season. After our loss to Queensway we started trying to fix our two problems especially our weak side rebound. Despite this big win we could have done better and scored about 60 points if we had not missed easy baskets. During the first quarter we pressed them hard with our full court man defense and managed to get several easy lay-ups. By the end of the 2nd quarter we already managed to maintain quite a huge lead(28-5). We had managed to grab most of our defensive rebounds and quite a few offensive ones too. However another big problem arose during this match, there were simply just too many fouls. We had 23 fouls, most of which were unnecessary. The main problems was everyone was just using "too much hands and too little legs" on defense. This caused ACS to get a lot of chances at the FT line.
Anyway we hope to learn from this and win the next match against Henderson on Friday and the crucial match against Gan Eng Seng following Thursday and be able to proceed to the 2nd round.
1st Quarter--RI 14 ACS 4
2nd Quarter--RI 14 ACS 1
3rd Quarter--RI 14 ACS 8
4th Quarter--RI 8 ACS 12
