"We knew that this game would be another challenge in this young season. We came out in the 1st half and played with great team chemistry and team defense which helped us to a double digit lead at the half. In the second half, Kyoto came out with a never say die attitude. Being that they had a huge rebounding advantage, they used that as fuel to cut into the large lead that we held. In the 4th quarter they trimmed the lead down to as many as nine points. But in the end, we held our own and defended and rebounded when we needed to in the key moments of the game."
One thing is for sure about about Phoenix, glory is not a simple win. This team knows what they are capable of and are aware of the talent that each player brings to the court. Satisfaction is when each player has brought their "A" game to the court and have played to the best potential. If ever there is a time that Phoenix has struggled during their first game of the week, they return for game 2 with a vengeance. During (Game 12), Parmer stated, " Our mentality in this game was to come out and play much better than we did the night before. I think we did a great job of doing so seeing as we lead at the half by 21 points and ended up winning by 25 points. Coach was very proud of how we maintained what we accomplished in the 1st half and we seemed to never let up in the 2nd half. We know that we cannot be content on whatever kind of lead we have going into the the 3rd quarter because in this game of basketball anything can happen. It just depends on which way the ball bounces.
GO PHOENIX!!!
