I thought Ashland's defensive effort was much better last night, and was more like what we saw out of them in early season. Swift did well making a clutch trey to stop a run by Fairview as well as some very important rebounds. Many times its' not talked about but when the defense is active, ball tips result in quick recovery effort by the ball handler that very often results in a turn over a different player (for the defense) is able to get his hands on. Same thing is true for rebounds.

What would the 'Squid of Steel' have to say about the defensive side of the ball last night? I felt like we would come out of the (slump?) against the Eagles. If indeed the intensity is back, Ashland will bring that to the rest of their games this year and it will be good to see.
