Post Basketball Game Commentary

The abscense of Danny Seigle and Danny Ildefonso was very evident in this basketball game. The team encountered a scoring drought early in the fourth quarter and no Danny Seigle was there to provide the needed points.

The team needed an additional defensive player when Jameel Watkins was in foul trouble but then Danny Ildefonso was not there to provide it. As a result, the Coca-cola tigers pounded it inside the paint and dominated the boards.

It's an acceptable loss for the team. It's good that they were able to get the basketball game close at the half. The second half saw the team's lack of manpower. Coca-cola should be happy with the win. On our next basketball game, it will be a different story.
