down” Judkins says that the story of the game behind the final score says some good things about his team even though the game ended in a loss “CSI is ranked ninth nationally” he explains “We were behind by 20 points and came back to within four We outplayed them once we realized ‘hey we can play with these guys “But the problem when you get so far behind is that when you do catch up you’re out

shot he’ll put it on the Door or try to penetrate” ing (Continued from All) readily admits some of the key weaknesses his team exhibited “We didn’t come out ready to play and they did We didn’t defend
