This was a very one-sided game as well as we blew past Kuo Chuan. However, we were unable to reach the target set by our coaches to score 80 points before the game ended which was quite disappointing. We were called for a lot of fouls in this game as we were too aggressive on our defense, constantly hand-checking our opponents and creating unnecessary contact. This may cost us a lot of we do not learn as against better and stronger opponents, those fouls could put them in the bonus and give them free throws which may very well cost us the game. The first quarter was not very well played as we only scored 15 points which was not up to expectations. We have to do a better job of remembering to deny our man from getting the ball when our teammates are laboring, pressuring the ball man. If we do not deny our man from getting the ball, all the hard work put in by our teammate in pressuring the ball will go down the drain. Denying the ball can allow us to get deflections off the bad passes by the opponents when they are under pressure. Once again this game was not really able to give us an idea of how good or bad we are, and we should not be complacent as we continue to compete because our opponents would only get better and better.
