RI 28 - 62 Unity

This game was much better then the previous game. We played better both offensively and defensively. However, we got into the game only in the 3rd quarter, resulting in a big score difference. A big problem was still our box out and offensive rebounds. In the first 2 quarters, the transition defense we have been working on was not utilized well. We also were unable to play the plays out properly.

The third quarter was our best quarter. We managed to out score unity in that quarter 19 -13. We managed to play slightly better transition defense. We will to continue working out on our transition defense and use it against North Vista this coming Wednesday.

RI 10 - 42 Dunman Sec

This was the worst match we played throughout the season, and an extremely bad start. We had few offensive and defensive rebounds, consistently allowing the opponents to have a second try. By the end of the 1st Quarter we lost our fighting spirit and our state of mind. We failed to stop their fast breaks, let them drive in easily, and get backdoor cuts. We had little outside shots and drives, we were stuck on the offensive end. This was because the wings always received the ball far away from the 3point line making the game a 4 on 5 match as the wings were not an offensive threat from so far away.
In the fourth quarter we already lost most of our fighting spirits allowing the enemy to push us around in the paint and grab their own rebounds.
1st Quarter--RI 2 DS 9
2nd Quarter--RI 4 DS 6
3rd Quarter--RI 2 DS 11
4th Quarter--RI 0 DS 16
