Slow Start
Well, 1-3 is not exactly the start we had in mind 2 weeks ago. Last week Hanover came in and attempted 43 3-point shots. They played a smaller lineup, spread us out and really jacked up the 3's. We were able to score on them inside easily, but turned the ball over too many times to come away with a win and lost 90-85.
Last night we traveled south to take on DePauw. We hoped we could make it two-in-a-row vs. the Tigers. Unfortunately we had too many defensive breakdowns. We have not done a very good job of taking away the strengths of our opponents thus far this season. That is something we did a great job of last year. We really had an identity last season of shutting down individuals and taking away the opponents strengths. We have yet to do that so far this season. One positive has been our scoring. I don't think we scored 80 points back to back in a long time. We just have to tighten our defense and take care of the ball and good things will follow.
We start NCAC Conference play this Saturday at Oberlin who always plays us tough at their place.
