Opening statement
"I thought we really came out ready to play. We were playing a lot of different defensive schemes on them that we are still working on, in particularly a lot of traps and everything like that. When you have eleven players ready to go, you can rotate a lot of people into the game. Texas Wesleyan was missing shots in the first half that they could have made, so they got over being a little scared, but then they played us a good second half of the ball game. You would like to say what didn't we do well, we gave up the right handed drive and that's just something we have to get better at for the season"
