Even though we had never played them, we knew this was going to be a tough game for us, as their basketball program is normally very skilled. We went into this game knowing we were going to have to work hard every second of the game for our team to be successful. We started off the first quarter with strong defense and a determination to get past their press and score on any fast breaks we can. We ended the first quarter down 2-12. In the second quarter we were able to get more and more shot opportunities up and helped ourselves create those opportunities down low after taking initiative and driving into the paint on our offense. We ended the second quarter 8-18. At the half our goals were to take shots, have better communication on the court and make more accurate passes.
