From The Sports Desk–Basketball Week Three

(one annoying thing about this new blog theme is the ALL CAPS blog title….I’m certain that when I switch there is going to be at least one or two titles that are messed up because my normal pattern is capital first letters for most words)

Only one game this week; a home tilt against East Lansing.  Learned after the game that the their B team was undefeated too before the game.

And I understand one reason why after the game….their coach decided to go with the old tried and true “I-want-to-win-at-all-costs” sub rotation.  And left his best kids on the court almost all of the time and rotated everyone else.

Didn’t matter….we pulled away in the third quarter to win comfortably 35-22.  It was close through the first half.

Did not get this jump ball.  Had 4 points overall.  Still needs to be much more of a factor rebounding (although I thought he was a ‘big’ presence in the middle though, changed a shot or two, caused a steal.

Suzanne was going to take more pictures of Cpher in the fourth quarter…and then he didn’t play in the fourth quarter!  Not sure what happened and wasn’t overly thrilled with it….but Cpher reported that the coach just seemed to make a mistake in substitutions and told Cpher that he ‘owed’ him some time…..
