The stat sheet doesn't necessarily reflect the outcome of the game. We got murdered on the offensive glass (3-17), but mostly made up for it on the defensive side (28-18). They had more steals and fewer turnovers. They had 10 more fouls than we did (13-23). We shot horribly from the charity stripe (14-27, 51.9%). They had 60 total shots to our 35, but we made 21 ad them 19. If I saw the stats sheet and didn't know the teams, I'd have said we lost. Instead, we won by 16. Gutsy defensive effort. Regardless, we are in sole position of 1st place, and a huge game in 2 days against Mercer, who beat Chatty by 3 in OT.
