COACH’S COMMENTS
“… We had the lead and couldn’t finish. I bet we set a world record last night for turnovers. It was unbelievable, We turned it over way too many times. It was a man to man press and when they would bring someone to trap we just panicked. But we also turned it over in the half court. So it didn’t matter.”
