Laurier/Waterloo weekend

We had a tough trip to Waterloo this weekend and played two very solid teams. Laurier gave us major problems as we had a tough time getting them under control on the offensive end. We built up a 21 point lead and gave it all away, before finding a way to get some stops down the stretch and won by 8. If they stay healthy they will be tough all year and be dangerous for anyone they play. We really didn't defend very well all weekend and hopefully we can fix that for this week. This coming weekend is the toughest road trip of the year, for a number of reasons. The first being that both teams are ranked in the top ten in the country and could easily end up in the top 5. On top of that we have to go to London for Friday and then on to Windsor for Saturday night, so the travel is difficult. This is a great test for us and will definitely show some major holes in what we are doing, which is a great thing in November. We need to realize where we are and start improving on the things that we aren't doing well. I feel we have kind of stagnated in terms of our development over the past 2 weeks, so hopefully we will either have shown some progress from this weeks practices or we learn from these games what needs to be done. We have a long way to go and hopefully we realize that we have a lot to improve.
