Our boys warming down after an outstanding performance. As expected, UTHM started out great, with high energy and spirit. They have great ball handling guards and a few forwards with big size. We matched their intensity throughout the 1st quarter but the converted just a few more hustle plays than us, finishing the 1st quarter, trailing 17-21.
Our team maintained our composure, stayed confident and continued to play with high intensity, while pulling out our now famed 3/4 court press as well as mixing in our new man-to-man trap. We won the 2nd quarter 27-16 to take a 7 point lead at the half (44-37).
We continued with our great defense (everyone!), great dribble penetration(Iran, Jack & Hau) and good shooting (Alex, Heng, Irfan) with our own "bigs" (Max, Teh, Heng & Raymond) holding
their own against UTHM's bigs. Raymond particularly stepped up and took the challenge of stopping their No. 13 (really BIG) and scoring for us as well.
In the 2nd half, UTHM no longer could stay with us and pulled steadily away. Final score : 96-61.
We are now through to the Quarter Finals and will play UMP, a very good outside shooting team, tomorrow morning at 8am.
Well done, UM!!
