‘We could not put the ball in at basket for some reason tonight,” said Beckman Coach John Goins. ” I am guessing we shot less than 40 percent in the paint tonight, maybe even less than 30 percent.
“We got the shots we wanted in offense but just didn’t put it in. University made the most of our struggles, taking advantage of it by hitting 15 3’s. They hit six 3’s in the fourth quarter, taking the wind out of us each time we started to get something going. We had a chance to tie it with five seconds left, but I feel I let the boys down by not giving them a good opportunity to score at the end. Overall a tough night for the Patriots and a hard fought win for the Trojans. Congrats to them.”
