Did you have a good pre-game? I know that often helps set the tone for me.

I was the R and working with two people I was somewhat familiar with. I thought our pre-game was pretty good but we made the mistake of assuming that it was going to be a poorly played game based on what one of my partners said about having seen one of the teams previously and both teams recent history of not being very good.

It was also the first girls game I had done since maybe the first week of the season, not that it should matter. Both teams played better than we anticipated and the 1st quarter score was 17-16. I commented at halftime that we should not have made the assumption and that I didnt feel like I came out "ready from the tip."

What was disturbing to me was that even after recognizing this, I never got it going mentally. But you're right. I think it started with improper focus in the pre-game.

Depends on partners......but your right, an bumbled switch,rotation screwup, new lead going long bringing in subs, failure to communicate with partners, can get you off course and might have been avoided with a decent pregame.

I've had almost 1/2 hour pregames and the "don't F&*# it up" ones.
