Titans Get A Wake Up Call |
Well... where to begin? Not a lot of positives came out of this game for us. By "not a lot", I mean "none". We came into this game 5-0, still having not lived up to our full potential in any of our games. Its hard to pin point what exactly went wrong -- it was pretty much a combination of terrible passing decisions, turnovers, horrible shot selection, not boxing out, plays breaking down too early, out rebounded, out hustled. We just didn't do anything right. One thing we did do was come into this game over-confident and complacent. We had an early lead, but we were soon trailing and by the third, we were trailing by almost twenty. Although we had managed to dig ourselves out of similar situations previously, it was just not happening this time. There was no individual at fault -- we all contributed to a shocking team performance. Although we made a run in the fourth, we just could get baskets to drop and could not get back quick enough to stop them from scoring. |
