Week 8 wrap up

Conference play is back, as teams look to make preparations for their playoff run. Look out for the ever improving BOBCATS.

Speaking of the BOBCATS....Well, let's just say they are looking better. With the play of Coach Durst improving (he dropped in 14) they are starting to come together as a team (kind of). They were still no match for the mighty BUCKEYES who again showed they don't need the 3 to win. Did I mention Durst dropped in a game high 14. It would have been more if he could shoot a free throw. If the BOBCATS could get a sub, they might could hang longer with the ever subbing BUX. Anyways, Durst finished the night with a game high 14. BUX by a few more than they needed to be.

Game 2 gave us the upset of the regular season as Coach Jones had his soaring EAGLES ready to ball against the undefeated TIGERS. With the absence of the TIGERS big man, Robert "BIG MAN" Daley looked to take advantage down low, dropping in 10. Leading the EAGLES was Mad Man Mungo with 20. The EAGLES slowed the game all night, and frustrated the TIGERS on D. The TIGERS, who could not find the downtown range on the big court, only had 3 players who scored on the evening, and this night, it just wasn't enough. The Eagles played smart keep away, taking and making smart shots, and eventually sealed the deal to win by 7. Congrats on knocking off the numero uno TIGERS.

Game 3 showed us the HEELS of old, as Jarred "I will dunk and step on you" Weeks showed his presence down low, not only dropping in 14, but playing tough defense also. Just as the HUSKIES' Reico "pull it from anywhere" Miller found the range on the deep ball (24 pts on the night), HEELS' stud Shae "Lightning Bolt" Richmond answered back with his on 3's (16 pts on the night). In the end, the HEELS, who ran the ball all night long and converted more fast breaks and 3's, pulled away to win by 13. Despite the loss, congrats go out to HUSKIES coach Jonathan Gensemer on the birth of a new baby.

Game 4.....Well, not much of a game. Let's just say the WILDCATS came out on the BULLS like the BOBCATS came out on.....okay, bad analogy. Anyways, the WILDCATS were in top form, as a host of players put up big numbers. Wes, excuse me, KOBE Ledbetter could not miss, dropping in 31 on the night to lead the WILDCATS. The BULLS played tough, and both teams kept things positive despite the disparity. NO, I'm not going to tell you the score. You have to stay around for the late games to find these things out. Let's just say the BULLS have played better in the past, and well, I'm not sure the WILDCATS have.
