[Comment from Head Coach Casey Owens]
Q. Review of today
I am proud of the players who played a great match against Shiga, who are number one in the West Region. I think being able to maintain communication throughout the 40 minutes and controlling the rotation led to a good result. We will also hold a public practice on Wednesday, January 24th. We want to show our boosters that we are starting to change. I would be happy if everyone could come and spend some time with the players.

Q. Review of today
The game started out the same as yesterday, and we were pushed by our opponents, but I think we were able to catch up little by little by working hard on rebounding and defending. At halftime, Kyle encouraged everyone by saying, “Let’s fight physically and play hard so that everyone can grab each rebound and loose ball,” and the team came together as one. I think being able to compete in the second half led to the victory. In the future, instead of attacking on my own, I would like to become a player who can spread the ball well and score the necessary points.

Q. Review of today
I think we won today’s game because of our energy, which led to our victory. We had some stumbling blocks at the beginning of the game, but after that I think we were able to be aggressive on both offense and defense. On offense, the ball was circulating well and we were able to take shots. On defense, I was able to consciously stop the opponent’s players and stop them, so I think it was good. We have been able to win the last few games, so we would like to continue with this momentum and finish next week’s match against Ehime with two consecutive wins.
