“We definitely did a good job getting the ball up the court and running, that helped us a lot,” No Limit’s Will Hudson said. “It’s only the first game, but if we continue to play together then we’ll be fine.”
In the weeks to come, No Limit will try to avoid complacency, no matter how many points they might be leading by. “We need to close out a lot better since we were up by almost 20 and only won by six,” Derrick Davis said.
