The second time around was different as terrific outside shooting by the Wildcats in the first half gave them a double-digit lead and the de- fense took care of the rest in a 65-50 victory. “Just a great all-around performance and team win,” West coach Michael Johnson said. “We limited turnovers, protected the paint, rebounded and had great shot selec- tion. When you are sharp in all those areas, you are going to put yourself in a great po- sition to win.” Just when it looked as if the Spartans may have been finding themselves as a team, head coach Brad Weber feels like this game was more of a step back. “It was a disappointing performance,” Weber said. “I thought we were starting to turn the corner and show growth from the beginning of the season.
