Kamouna and Driver scoring all of their 9 pts. TAMCC using more 3-2 zone; we'll switch to Heavy Inside
11:38, Down 10-20
Kamouna has been unstoppable with 9 pts. TAMMC spreads the floor out, so when they pass to Kamouna on the low post, he'll make a quick shot so that we don't have time to double team
3:42, Down 22-28
Our 8 turn overs deterring our efforts to make an extended run.
Halftime, Down 25-36
TAMCC's Driver and Kamouna combining for 23 pts. We'll go back to Favor Inside and double up on everyone (except PG). We'll lessen def rebounds crash to 8, in order to get transition pts. Increase def intensity to 9

6:33, Down 42-51
We started playing good defense, but our offense can't take advantage. We even missed 6 FTs

They go to Driver again. Shoots a 3. Miss. Rowles rebound
They foul Granville again (before I can even call for a time out)
Hits both. I'll give Rowles a short breather; in comes K Griffin

They go to Kamouna on the low post. Double team. Kick ball. 21 secs on their shot clock

Same play. I called isolation on Cook
Cook got the ball, but he missed the shot. TAMCC gets the rebound. We need to foul immediately; and shoot 3s when we have the ball
