Negatives
- Hunter started out of sync, flat, and in a deficit early. There were lots of turnovers, not enough shots taken, not enough balls rebounded, and just sloppy play.
- Willie, though playing his guts out, getting a few rebounds, and draining a beautiful little jumper from foul line range, didn't get to play much in the 2nd half. Why? Who knows.
- Their just didn't seem to be a lot of heart or enthusiasm from some of the players on the court.
- Coaching . . . Run a zone defense against Hunter and you will win. There's got to be a better way to solve the problem than stalling and shooting 3's (even though we did hit quite a few 3's and that's what kept it as close as it was). Put strange lineups in with kids that are playing poorly and you will not improve. Make a big run in the 2nd quarter, but then don't put that same lineup back in and well . . . whatever.
- Terrible officiating and mega 1-sided foul calling in favor of Bingham. The game was won at the foul line and Hunter never had a chance to get there.
- Bingham has super ugly uniforms.
- The Deseret News gave Willie's points to the wrong Petersen. They gave them to C. PetersOn and he didn't even get in the game. Go figure.
Positives
- Twitter and Facebook bring out quite the Hunter student section. Way to go school spirit.
- Playing on a big floor in a big arena is cool, even if you lose.
- Willie made the tennis team without even trying out yesterday and practice starts tomorrow. Go tennis!
- There was a huge support from the WKP fan club - mom, dad, sisters, niece and nephews, Woods, friend Emily and family, young men's presidents, and even Grandpa and a couple of uncles.
The end. There are some pictures in the D-News, but none of Willie and I didn't want to post them. March is nearly upon us. Brackets will be filled in soon. And then . . . the basketballs will hibernate for a season. Until next year . . .
