The Panorama Panthers are hosting their first home game tonight against the Earlham Cardinals. Last week was the first series of games for both Panther teams. Out of 6 combined games there was only one game that was lost and that was the men’s team losing to Madrid by 6 points.
Tonight the panthers will play the Earlham cardinals a 1-0 team that both Panther teams look to use their strong defensive play style to help them win the games. Men’s head coach, nick Peasley says, “I think we can be really really good defensively as a team but once we continually improve on that get guys healthy, but really the buy-in is there that’s why we’ve had success so far this year is just to buy in of guys doing what it takes nobody’s really worried about their individual accolades whatsoever which is always good and you can see it on the floor.”
Coach also mentions on what him and his team can expect as they have been playing the Cardinals since 2006, “ Earlham’s always disciplined they’re always well coached they’re going to be patient on offense rotate well defensively and we just got it we got to get them in foul trouble and attack them hard and and get stopped as a team The ultimate goal is a one bad shot and a rebound to seal it on the defensive end”
The last time these two teams played was last year. The Panthers best the Cardinals with a final of 58-48. The women Panthers game will begin at 6:15 tonight, and the men’s at 7:30pm.
