We were not concentrated, we were very late defensively. Offensively we made bad decisions. We were also slow in our decisions.\u201d Elijah Bryant also felt this was one of the reasons Maccabi came up short, \u201cWe started off slow and we were talking too much to the refs tonight.

The rust that we saw in his first few games looks to be gone and Jackson is ready to shine in the spotlight with his savvy moves and leadership skills. Although the Yellow &#038; Blue fell, #9 looked at the bright side, \u201cThis is a game that we can learn from and I\u2019ve been on well experienced teams where you need losses like this.
