We had a rough go of it Wednesday night on the road against Central Arizona College. We came out firing on all cylinders hitting some early 3's to put us up 15-6. The problem with hitting those 3's early has been our Achilles heel, in that we continue to cast from deep rather than taking the ball to the rack and getting to the free throw line. The guys always play hard and we can sometimes get limited on offense, but with things that you can control they do a nice job. CAC has a great group of guys this year and seems like they can role out 6'7" and athletic guys one after another. They went on a run to go up by about 8 with 3 minutes to go in the first half, and another 7-0 run to finish out the half which ended up being a back breaker for us before half-time. We responded well at the half and stayed within 10 for the first part of the second half, but trapping, gambling, and flat out running out of gas against a bigger more athletic team proved to be too much for us on the road. I really like how CAC plays, and they will be tough to beat down the stretch in Division 1 because they have so many weapons and options. I wish I could say things would get easier this weekend, but we have Cochise College on Saturday, and Jerry always has them ready to go. Pima got them at home the other night so hopefully we can respond well after a good week of practice and get after them. We are at home which will help with the 4 hour bus trip they will be on. Have to jump on them early and maintain. Currently sitting in 3rd place in Division 2 and need to start to climb to catch up with Phoenix and Pima. I have been learning so much on the fly, but so far this has been the time of my life getting the chance to coach this great group of guys. I will keep you posted with how we do on Saturday. The game should be live streamed if anyone wants to take a look.
