Game Summary
Really tough loss for us tonight because we really beat ourselves. We missed way too many easy shots that could have put the game out of reach early and we didn't take advantage of that. We were awful from the foul line and anytime you let a team hang around, especially one as dangerous as Sweet Springs you will be in trouble and we were. We just have to find a way to do the little things much better.
