Our program at Northwest Missouri wasn't that strong, to be honest. I needed a change. Central Methodist Coach Mike Davis, whose team reached the second round in its national tournament debut last year, is certainly glad Feaker came along. A lot of times in a national tournament like this, you can't just do it all with a set offense, passing it from point to point. You have to make some things happen.
Autumn does a good job of that.
Cardinal Stritch, bowing out with a 27-5 record, was making its third straight national tournament appearance. Especially on the offensive boards. When we did get them to take a bad shot, they were able to put it back. Offensive rebounds are one of the most demoralizing things in basketball. That was the big difference in the game.
