In a recent matchup, the team's performance showcased resilience, highlighted by strong contributions from Peyton and a notable team effort despite some early foul troubles for key players. While JT had a standout game until his injury, the squad maintained composure, driven by defensive intensity and timely shooting from Baylor and Luke. D. White's grit was instrumental in holding the team together, even when offensive shots weren't falling.

The collective effort to close out the game, particularly in the fourth quarter, emphasized their commitment to defense, limiting their opponents to just 17 points during that period. The players' camaraderie was evident as they rallied around JT following his injury, showcasing a shared sense of empathy and determination to secure a win without their star player.
