Game 2

We had our second game of the season yesterday. It was against Vigevano. Vigevano is a big game for us because they are right down the road (about 20 miles) and they are considered our rivals. The atmosphere was CRAZY. The fans were going all out for this one. I couldn't hear anything before the game started...it was extremely loud. My ears were literally ringing. Fun atmosphere to play in!

Vigevano got off to a good start however knocking down some threes and scoring inside with their big man. We battled back but found ourselves behind for most of the game. It was a very frustrating game for me because I got into foul trouble. I had 3 fouls in the first half so I was forced to sit out much of the second quarter. I actually got my fourth foul just a couple minutes into the 2nd half. I couldn't believe it. I was trying to play smart and not pick up a cheap foul, but there were several fouls called on me that I most definately did not agree with. That is part of the game though I guess.

We fought back in the 4th quarter and tied it with a few minutes to go, but Vigevano came back down and hit a timely three pointer right after that. We ended up losing by a couple possessions. Personally, like I said before, I had a frustrating game due to foul trouble. It was so frustrating because I knew I could have helped our team more without the foul situation. I ended up only taking 7 shots in game ending with 12 points. Frustrating. We need to come back next week and get a win. Once we get that first win we should have things flowing into the rest of the season.

Talk to you soon!
