Pump N Run Elite (CA) 87 Texas D-1 Ambassadors 84

We lost a tough game against a quality team today, but it left a bad taste in our mouths. Already 3 men short because of flight problems due to the weather we proceeded to almost immediately lose D.J. Stephens to a severe ankle sprain & Jonathan Perry who was taken to the hospital with an eye injury. We were saddled with 3 other guys having 4 fouls, and despite all that almost tied it at the end. The kids showed grit, but now we'll have to totally change our style of play offensively and defensively (switching to a zone which I generally abhor) in order to survive and advance in the tournament. We play later today at 4PM against the New Mexico Lobos (NM).
