We needed to get stops in order to get out and run. It’s one thing to say run but it doesn’t work that way, you need to get the stops first and then you can run. I thought the guys did a great job in the second half, making things tough, shooting over top of people, and that’s what we’re going to have to do to win this.” Varsity Red Chris Spurrell said “it was defensive lapses. 45-38, I think it was at halftime, but it felt more like it was a defensive game in the first place and we basically let them run all over us the last two or three minutes of the first half and same thing in the second half.” Varsity Reds coach Joe Salerno said “we got out-played tonight, we got out-played. I thought we got out-coached tonight. … The second half just kind of got away from us. … They’ve got a couple of very good players, in Nava and Andrews, and those guys hit shots when it mattered. They were able to string possessions together, and their ability to switch defensively on us and have the athletes and physicality to be able to do that really took us out of the loop tonight.” Justin Andrew was chosen player of the game for the X-Men, while Ibrahima Doumbouya earned the laurels for the Varsity Reds.
