Q:” In terms of game time prep, where do you think you guys failed to prepare for ahead of facing the Hornets”
A: In terms of game time prep we definitely underestimated them more than we should’ve, the film we had on them were games where they didn’t have their whole team playing and it definitely felt like the softest week of practice we’d had all year”- Junior, Beau Price
Q: “What areas do you think you guys could have improved on at the start of the second half after the stagnant offensive first half”
A: “ At the start of the second half we just came out flat, we were missing key blocks the whole game that could’ve turned some bad plays into big runs. In the first quarter our passing game was going great but it definitely fizzled out by the second quarter.” -Beau Price
