The Blue Jays returned to Stillwater, OK for the the Oklahoma State team camp for the 2nd time in 5 years on Friday and over the course of the weekend they played a lot of basketball...and had some fun also.
"I like attending the camp for a few reasons," stated Coach Stirtz. "It's well organized, the facilities are nice, and we're usually the only team from Missouri which allows us to play teams we never see from Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas."
After a slow start in the games on Friday (1 win, 2 losses), the Jays rallied to win their next 5 games in a row and make to the semifinal round of the tournament on Sunday. "We got a better every game we were there," mentioned Coach Simpson. "We were proud of our guys. They really stepped up each game and improved on what we asked them to do. Our offense was much more fluid and purposeful over the camp and our team defense started to come together."
"Every player made more of an impact in each game and they all gained more self-confidence in what they can bring to the team," remarked Coach Stirtz. "I've been to a number of team camps and this was one of my favorites with the players that went and what we got accomplished."
