This was a heartbreaking loss as I thought we deserved to win against the #9 ranked team in 2A. We have to finish better in the fourth quarter and most importantly, make our FT's down the stretch. We were 1 of 5 from the FT line in the 4th quarter including missing the front end of two bonus situations. Basically we were 1 of 7 if you factor that in! That left the door open for Princeton and they took advantage of it.
I was pleased with many things we did in this game. First of all, we out-rebounded a very good rebounding team 24 to 20. The first time around Princeton out-rebounded us by 18! We also had a season low 10 turnovers.
We have to take better shots in the 4th quarter also. We took alot of shots in the paint that were pretty tightly contested and difficult shots to make. We have to pass on these shots and continue to run clock in the 4th quarter with the lead, make them come out and foul us and then be mentally tough enough to step up and knock down those FT's.
Jake Junis led us with 19 points. Dylan Austin added 17 points. Tevin Rumley finished with 14 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists.
