Tonight we played the best game we have played yet. We had a strong defensive game and made it hard for Kibbe and Rupp all night. 

Rylan Smith & Markus Lambert had a heck of a game on both sides of the ball. Rylan and Brian Cressley had the job of guarding their two best players. When Brian got in foul trouble Nate James came in and played very well. He had big minutes tonight. 

Nate James got under Rupp's skin, which essentially took him out of the game. He ended up fouling out. 

Rylan had 19 points, 5 steals, and 4 rebounds. 

Lambert was calm, cool, and collected all night. He ended up with 18 points, rebounds, and 3 assists. 

Brian was in foul trouble the entire game, but really helped us seal the deal. He had 13 points, 2 assists, and 2 rebounds. 

Rogers had 11 points, 2 assists, and 2 rebounds. 

Other quiet contributors were Nickerson, Chamberlin, Mineo, and Brady. 

As a team we shot 50% from the floor, but again went 6-11 from the free throw line. At practice we have been taking a lot of time and doing some things with foul shots. They are crucial in close games. 

If we continue to have 4 guys in double digits scoring we will be a tough team to beat on any night. I just really hope we continue to play consistently all four quarters. 

Tonight we were able to bounce back from our mistakes by either scoring or not making silly mistakes repeatedly. 

We have a tough task against GM on Thursday night. We know we can play right with them, and we're familiar with some of the teams they have already played to get a good read on them. I hope we can bring this same energy on Thursday. 

They pressure a lot and we will have to take care of the ball.
