The Ottawa Pirates did a lot of things well in their 57-38 Interstate 8 Conference victory Tuesday evening over visiting Morris .

“We shared the ball well, and a lot of the looks we got were clean,” said Ottawa coach Brent Moore, whose Pirates’ impressive 56.1% (23-of-41) shooting from the field included even more impressive 63.6% (7-of-11) marksmanship from 3-point distance. “We practice shooting those 3s consistently on a daily basis, and when they’re going in, yeah, it makes everything look really good. ...

“I thought we weren’t engaged enough defensively at the start of the game. I thought we were just a step slow, and [Morris] was kind of getting what they wanted. But offensively, I thought we were really good.” 1 of 10
