Final Score:
Stat Deviates 65
Basic Soft 33

Coach Po Post-game Press Conference:
Q: Coach what happened out there tonight?
A: Before we start I would just like to issue a public apology to James Naismith for making the game he created look so shitty. I have no idea who those guys were out there tonight. Never have I ever seen the game of basketball played that bad.

Q: Coach you seem extremely upset tonight, is that accurate?
A: Thats an extremely dumb question so im not even going to answer it

Q: What do you think the main reason was for the poor effort?
A: I dont even know, the reason Im so pissed is because our team is not as bad as they played. When we practice every Friday afternoon we got some guys that know how to ball and know how to shoot, tonight none of that happened. We couldnt shoot the ball, we couldnt throw a pass longer than 5 feet, we had people putting up air-balls from the free throw line, and almost had as many turnovers as points

Q: Are any lineup or substitution changes going to occur?
A: HAHAHA im not even dealing with that part of the game anymore, trying to include 13 players in the game on a continual basis is impossible. From now on, the team is going to run their own subs and well see how that goes

Q: Anything else youre going to do differently that might help the team?
A: Nothing is out of the question, who knows I might even grab a jersey and get in


Game Summary:
The game started off with a bunch of baskets being exchanged. The entire Basic Soft team had the philosophy of running early and tiring out Stat Deviates, who only brought 6 guys to the court compared to Soft's 13 guys. Soft hung in until the defense broke down and they stopped running on offense completely (actually i dont think they ever started running). Jeff Creamer kept Basic Soft in the game early nailing his first two 3-pt shots, but then went cold and went 0-4 the rest of the game. By halftime the lead was 15 and Basic Soft seemed to just quit. They couldnt score in the second half and the turnovers grew at a steady rate. Jason Fazzone put up a Larry Hughes-like game from the PG spot, being responsible for 0 assists and 6 turnovers. The leading scorer was a late addition to the team, Jon Hart. He was responsible for 9pts 3reb and 1ast (and yes, 1ast was tied for the team lead). His roommate Mike Spence also chipped in 8 pts and was 2-4 behind the arc. In the end Basic Soft showed no heart and no desire to win. They all looked like they were nervous as hell, and when the lead grew everyone tried to do their own thing. Hopefully it was just first game jitters and the 2nd game will be much more improved. Main thing that needs to be turned around is turnovers, Basic Soft put up what I think is an intramural record, 22 turnovers in one game.

Team Leaders:
Points: Jon Hart (9), Mike Spence (8)
Rebounds: Jim Coleman (5), Rick Rouan (4)
