“Keeping our turnovers down, ball control, communication and just trying to outwork the teams we play. We know we struggle offensively, but those other things we can control a little bit more,” says Holm. “We really need to dial in, stay focused for four quarters and work on the things that we can control a little bit more. The kids are working hard and they’re gonna work to the end. We’ll hopefully keep getting better day after day.”
