Team 3 17 36 53 0-1
Given the luxury of sleeping in and playing the 10:30 AM
game, we came out hot in the game against Lafayette Bell and company. With
steals, fastbreak points, Eric Freckman looking like Pau Gasol in the post, and
some 3-pointers, we built a nice lead in the first half. We played solid team D
on Lafayette, forcing others to beat us. With a 30-17 lead at halftime, a
strong start to the second half could put this game out of hand.
This, however, was not the case. Lafayette got going
offensively, and Kameron Hill also knocked down some 3-pointers to get them
back into the game. Couple that with
Billy looking like Shaq on the foul line in the second half and the offense
looking a little stagnant, and we had a ballgame.
They cut the lead to just one point in the last few minutes
with a chance to take the lead for the first time in the game, but our D held
strong. Also, Ben Asper got fouled shooting a three and knocked down all three
attempts (with the help of a shooter’s roll on the first one). He knocked down
two more big ones late, making him 5-of-5 at the charity stripe during crunch
time.
Leading 54-51 with 2.8 seconds left, Team 3 called timeout
and drew up a play to send the game into overtime. With the suspense high, the
game finished on a layup at the buzzer, which we were more than willing to give
up. A 54-53 win was a good start to the season, and we did this without
6-foot-5 Zack Krupp.
Week 2 is an 8:30 AM tip against Team 2, captained by Joe Jenkins and Tobias Green. They won 55-29 in Week 1, so it’ll be a battle of 1-0 teams.
