For this game against SJII, we came out and played strong, not allowing our opponents to score double digits in any quarter while we scored more than 15 points in each quarter. The main story of this game was about the slippery floor as it had just rained and there were a lot of complains. However, we should not use this as an excuse. We were constantly slow to keep up with our opponents driving to the basket or going for fast breaks and ended up in them drawing the foul on us. On the bright side however, we were able to use our size to our advantage and constantly get the ball down low to our posts so that they can go for easy baskets. We also crashed the boards well, allowing very few second chance buckets for our opponents. This game was well fought and hard played, but this is not a game where we were able to see where we stand and we must continue to work hard so that we will be able to face skilled and better opponents when we get deeper into the competition.
