[QUOTE="ramblinwreck1378, post: 536081, member: 1108"] A win is a win, and I'll never complain about that. But this game should not have been as close as it was - we were up 11 with 5 minutes left and that lead was cut to 2 just 2 minutes later. Learning how to win and close teams out is something that will come with time and experience in those situations, and I think last night's game was a building block toward that. [B]Good[/B] - I liked the offensive game plan by the staff to just pound the ball inside. Banks and Gueye had almost half of our FG attempts - shots weren't falling at the end of the first half, but started to find their way later in the game.
