UW-Eau Claire and UW-Whitewater Games

Sorry not to update recently but it's been a little crazy around here. I won't write much about these two games because I'll probably get heated and write something I shouldn't write. Both games were extremely similar in every fashion.

Both the Blugolds and the Warhawks shot lights out in the first half and gained big leads. We came out in the second half and made great runs to get things back in our favor and then we collapsed. We made a lot of mental lapses on both ends of the floor and really struggled. It didn't help that both teams shot over 50% from behind the arc.

On a positive note, we showed that we could come back from large deficits and make it a game. We had great energy for probably 10-12 minutes of both games. We showed that we were very good during those times, while we were average at best the rest of the way. We need to find consistent effort from our guys for the whole game.It certainly doesn't get easier for us.

We have our first league game on Wednesday at Hutton Arena vs. Gustavus. They are 1-1 right now with a win vs. Buena Vista and a loss against UW-LaCrosse. They are always well coached and are a solid ballclub. Seth Anderson leads the team while averages 34.5ppg including a 45 point outburst vs. Buena Vista. He's got an old man's game (that's a good thing) with his array of post-ups, pull-ups, and leaners. He'll be a tough matchup for sure.
