Oxford coach Kyle Green Comments: We played with intensity on the defensive end of the floor. We were able to get turnovers and easy buckets in transition. Our half court offense was not very good. That is something we need to clean up. We play Douglass Friday. The Bulldogs are a very good basketball team. Kids need to be ready to play and play hard.
