First home win

We opened at home on Nov. 20 with a 74-69 win against Pittsburg. They are the #8 ranked team in AAA and deservedly so. This game was important because it was at home and we expect to win all of our games at home. A few notes:

They have two of the best guards we have ever played against.

We out rebounded them by a large margin, which is something we need to do every time we play

We gave up 69 points, which won't win us many games down the road in district. However I think it is more indicative of the turnovers we had that led to easy points for them rather than our lack of defense. Make no mistake, we have to get better defensively, but our biggest deficiency right now is making too many turnovers.

All in all it was a win and we will take it, but we just have to get better. We play them again on Jan. 5 in Pittsburg and that will be a good "measuring stick" to see how much we have improved in that span of time.
