We missed too many easy shots. Against a good team, you have to score when the opportunity presents itself. We missed three uncontested three-footers in the second half.
We didn't have much of a margin for error with Nick out. Then our back-up point guard has two fouls a couple of minutes into the game. Against a team like Ontario that puts you behind the 8-ball.
I'm happy with that. But we're a good basketball team. It never should have gotten to 20. It should have been four and then when we make our run, we get ahead.
They turned up the defensive intensity and that was the turning point. I thought we played pretty good defense all night too, but you've got to score in the 50s. We're not shooting with confidence right now. We're shooting hoping we don't miss.
I took those things away and we had a heck of a week of practice. I told them (at halftime) we would be practicing in the parking lot at the middle school next week.
They made plays and we didn't. Right now, we have a very small margin of error because we're shooting the ball horribly. We've done it now for three straight games.
We'll come back. We have to play well (against Seneca East) tonight.
We put ourselves in position to win the game. We're proud of these kids. They never gave up against a very good team.
I thought tonight was a team win. We had four non-starters on the floor and the run continued to the end of the quarter.
