Underestimating their opponents

The men's basketball team is starting off the season strong. The team holds a 2-2 and record right now and are playing some very good basketball.

Hosting Humber at home on November 9, the team looked strong. "We played a really good game against Humber; we had strong offence from the team and the crowd was giving us that extra boost," said player Boyd Vassell. Coming out strong off the bat and not letting up the whole game, the Falcons looked very strong on the court.

They then went on to play Niagara on November 12, where the team came out with the wrong focus and mind frame for the game. After a strong win against Humber, the men let their confidence get the best of them. This mindset led the boys to a bad loss. "We just didn't have our heads in the game. We thought it would be an easy win, and they proved us wrong" said Vassell.

The team's inside presence is an issue that needs to be worked on as they were giving up too many rebounds and causing too many points.

All in all, the men have started the season strong with some focus issues that need to be fixed. With a long season still ahead of them, the Falcons have time to sort out these problems and get on track.
