YBA Xtreme Blue vs. All Star Predators Black   

Saturday 3/19/11 5:40 p.m. YBA squared off against the All Star Predators Black winning 43-38. YBA came out with great energy and closed with less than optimal energy. Decision making was not great down the stretch and defensive pressure was lacking allowing the opponent to make this one closer than it should have been.  Keys for improvement from this game: ball security, offensive execution, run the press break offense, make better decisions, put away inferior opponents early.
