Today we played against the number 1 ranked in the country NHTI. Last time we played them we lost by 3 points so this game was personal and we had to win it.
First half we came out as monsters, we had them locked down in defense and we were making our shots, we went in to half time with a 17 point lead and our confidence were shooting out of the roof, maybe too much. But in half time I had a bad feeling, as a team we have tendency to lose focus in second half when we are up and that’s what happened against NHTI. We lost focus and they took advantage of it. They came back and beat us with 9 points.
I was destroyed after that game and I don’t know how I will go to sleep tonight. I take some of the blame for our loss but things happen and I have to not just move on but to learn from it and fix the problem.
Even though we lost the game I think it was meant to be, I think we proved NHTI that we could beat them in the first half but we proved to our self that we still have some minor things to work on to win the championship. Fortunately for us we will probably face NHTI in the playoffs this year.
Tomorrow we playing New School and that should be an easy game to win.
