Finally, we have returned to mediocrity. Enough bottom-dwelling for us.

Week Four: vs. Quakers

Recap: We finally came out strong. Jeremy, one of our best outside shooters, drilled a three on our first possession, and while it wasn’t all that smooth, that certainly set the tone. We were never behind for more by three or four and managed to remain in control throughout the entire second half. Behind strong defense, improved rebounding and a more cohesive offense, Rational Animals ran away to win 43-30.

Matt’s line: Four points again–I missed two or three good looks, but did a better job taking the ball to the hole. However, as I ran out of energy I became less involved in the offense. With five or six rebounds, three or four assists, and four steals (of which I am proudest), it felt like a solid step toward providing the all-around game I think I can. Hopefully the scoring will improve next week. But I said that last time.
