SG Basketball Clinch ETIAC Banner

The main problem was a lack of intensity, which manifested itself in two ways. First, predictably, was hustle stats, or a lack thereof. We got to almost zero loose balls, and if we did get there, the ball would squirt through our unprepared hands. No diving on the floor, no ripping the ball out of our opponents’ hands, no fighting for rebounds. Just a lot of flat-footed ball watching. And secondly, turnovers. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen this team throw the ball away like that. And just to be clear, I didn’t miss it.

Well, if anything, this game proved once again, undeniably, that we cannot just get by on talent. If we don’t work hard, we don’t play well. Period.

But let’s finish on a positive note, i.e. after a 2-year hiatus, the ETIAC league banner is coming back home to Stanstead College. Congratulations, team – I can’t wait to see that bee-yoo-tiful banner up on the wall in Amaron.
