As I had mentioned yesterday we played the same team last night that we played last weekend in the 'cup', Galil-Gilboa. They didn't have their American 4 man, a dude who went to Illinois, but they still played pretty well. They really don't run any sets besides high pick and rolls, and we still weren't able to stop it, until we nutted-up in the fourth quarter when we needed to. We were down 2 at half, and they came out blazing in the second half, taking a 14 point lead at one point. We really just lacked energy, and it was a weird feeling in the gym, but Davon Jefferson really got us going, and we made some big shots down the stretch. This means that we will now play our next cup game on January 4th.
Our next game is this Sunday against Jerusalem. I would say that they have been the best team in our league up to this point, especially after they waxed Maccabi Tel Aviv last night, at one point, they were even leading by 30 points!! We need to bring a better effort Sunday night compared to the last few games, or we will be in some serious trouble.
Good news on the holiday front! Our coach told us we would be able to stay in the states for Christmas, and catch a flight back the 26th. Couldn't be any happier about that!
That's it for now, I will let you all know how we do Sunday!
