The Tribe seems to score a lot on us though. Maybe a match up zone would be best. They will pick you apart if you don't cover up backdoors and step/close out. They're really good on offense. Our offense fell apart in the 2nd half and we stopped moving it.

Overall, our offense is good enough but the D needs to improve and has somewhat. I see some better things than earlier in the year, but it's not quite there. My hope is that they just keep getting better and continue it next year with some more bodies/and another quick defending guard and a rim protector to add to what we're gonna have.

We played good defense in the first half and held them to 38. It changed in the 2nd, coinciding with a lot of whistles. Not putting it all on the refs, because WM’s shooters showed up tonight (Pierce, Burchfield). They’re a good team and I think we have to mix in zone to beat them. If not, foul trouble trying to keep up with them. They’re fast and long. Cohn is an extremely crafty pg. it was nice to see Brown keep pace with him, but we needed Bryan in there for rebounds. Going even smaller and no zone hurt us, IMO.
