W.T. White recap - A Tale of Two Halves
We beat a scrappy W.T. White team Saturday at home 68-52.
The first half we were really incredible. Did not make many mistakes, shot a very high percentage, found the open man and out rebounded them by a large margin.
In the second half we did all of those things well again, but happened to have 16 turnovers against 8 in the first half. We have to do a better job of closing out games. However, W.T. White deserves a lot of credit as well because they made a lot of contested shots in the second half and never quit competing after being down 41-19 at half and as much as 26 early in their third. They are a scrappy bunch and have played a tough schedule. Their record is 8-5 after we beat the Saturday.
A few stats:
We out rebounded them 38-20
We had a season high 19 assists
We had a season high FG% of 59.5
We are 42 of 52 (82.3%) from the FT line in our last two games
