Burlington head girls basketball coach Gordon Nikolic said his team is scoring enough points offensively to win games.
The problem is, his team’s defense simply is not doing its job.
That was glaringly obvious in a 74-58 loss to Elkhorn Friday in the opening Southern Lakes Conference game for the Demon girls.
“We didn’t play enough defense to win,” Nikolic noted. “We had some good moments in the game, just not enough to win the game.”
Although the final margin was 16 points, Nikolic noted the game was much closer than that, with Elkhorn not putting the game away until the last half of the fourth quarter.
