It is always tough to lose when you are up 10 in the second half. But this was a game where the lead changed hands 10 times and in the end their size and athleticism - and our mistakes proved too much.
We did some very good things as a team in this game though. We rebounded even with them, we shot the three well and overall shot better than they did for the game. This was the first game really where you could see the talent that Stefanini has as he went 11/7/3 in 20 minutes only missing one shot. More than that he was confident and creative with and without the ball. He can also really shoot the 3. Faulds went for 17/4 and importantly looked much more confident and aggressive around the hoop. Smith had the first game in a while where he looked like the player from early last year. He had 27 and was 5/9 from 3.
What cost us the game were 10 more fouls than Albany, 7 more to's, and 61% from the foul line to their 82%.
