May 9, 2018 Last Day of Practice for 2017-2018 Season
Team AVG PPG 46.5. Only 7 3PM this tournament. In all 4 games, we were outscored at the opening tipoff. Lessons for 2018-2019 season: Reduce careless passing turnovers and increase FT accuracy.
(1) May 11, 2018 16:30 MUMBA U15 vs. Woodbridge Lions (49-42) 11 PTS 2 REB 7 STL 1 AST 2 3FGM
Down 0-5 after missing the first 12 shots, and having (21/65=32 FG%, 3/12=25 FT%, 18 TO), we should have lost this game but we had a LOT of extra passes and 20 STLs. Extra background band cheering courtesy of Mississauga Jaguars.
(2) May 12, 2018 09:00 MUMBA U15 vs. Chatham Kent Wildcats (35-60) 10 PTS 2 REB 5 STL 1 AST 2 3FGM
Another 0-5 hole at the start of 1Q.
(3) May 12, 2018 15:00 MUMBA U15 vs. Gladiators – Richard (51-50) 2 PTS 12 REB 2 BLK 4 STL 4 AST
NEVER. EVER. GIVE. UP. Down 4-20 in 1Q, we slowly climbed up each quarter (Score: 1Q 9-22. 2Q 24-33. 3Q 36-42. 4Q 51-50). In 4Q, we turned on the D and shut down the other team - they only had 3/12 FGM, 0/10 3PM, 2/4 FTM. This is our best rebounding game (42-41), 13 in 4Q. We made 21 passing turnovers, 6 in 4Q. For the love of 2: With 0:53 left in this epic thriller, we trailed by 2, we had 2 steals off rebounds, we had 2 defensive rebounds, we missed 2 FGs, we missed 2 FTs, we made 2 FTs, the other team called timeout 2 times, we were fouled 2 times, we fouled 2 times, and we had our biggest lead - 2 PTS.
(4) May 13, 2018 12:00 MUMBA U15 vs. YNBA Avengers (51-63)
We overcame a slow 0-12 start to lead 18-17. Tight game until the last 4 minutes.
