YBA Xtreme Blue vs. Irish   

Saturday 3/12/11 2:25 p.m. YBA squared off against the Irish losing 54 -34. First half was great YBA competed.  Second half saw the guards failing to secure the ball, too many turnovers and failure to execute and make smart decisions on offense. Also the team needs to be practice against presses and run the press break offense and come to passes.  Keys for improvement from this game: ball security, offensive execution, run the press break offense and make better decisions.

YBA Xtreme Blue vs.  – CRR Black

Sunday 3/13/1 12:15 p.m.YBA squared off against CRR and lost 45 -25.  YBA came out with good energy but settled for quick poor shots on offense which the opponent turned into transition baskets.  Offensively, as a team decision making continued to be poor settling for quick outside 3’s that missed and the opponent extended its lead.  YBA seemed to quit in this one long faces and no attentiveness in the time outs lack of hustle for loose balls and failure to execute the offense.  You can blame the coach but players play and execute no matter the circumstance effort can always be there it simply was not in this one.  Keys for improvement from this game: ball security, offensive decision making and execution (when the outside shot is not going look inside), and a stronger will to compete.
