Legendary Effort By Three Hundred, or Three
Reading, MA - Special to Bloggin' and Ballin' by Shu-ter Patel.
The number one movie in America this week is “The 300”. It tells the story of 300 Spartans at the Battle of Thermopylae vs. an army of 10,000 Persians.
The Spartans held the pass at Thermopylae for 3 days before eventually succumbing to the vastly greater numbers of the Persias. Origins Unknown played and lost in what can only be called a legendary loss if such a thing can exist. Origins Unknown, started the game vs. Northwestern Mutual, with only 4 regulars. The game started with a quick pace, but turned sour after 2 minutes as Himanshu Patel had to leave the game with a knee injury. He said he heard a pop.
OU made the decision to play with 3. The score was 4-4. With Patel out, OU went onto put up a 12 point lead, while playing 3 v 4. OU played with tremendous courage. Danger Dan was slicing his way for jumpers and lay-ups. The Dr. was driving to the hole and Stretch put on an offensive clinic with spin moves and back to back 17 foot jumpers. He finished with 29. OU was amazing breaking the 2-2 zone that Northwest Mutual played, it seems they learned to play defense from Thiery Henry.
OU maintained the lead until 12 minutes left to play, when Northwestern Mutual put on a run,when fatigue set in and the jumpers were short for OU. Northwest Mutual eventually tied the game, with 8 minutes left. Then it was a back and forth game.
With 5 seconds left and the game tied at 69, OU’s defense put the ball in the one guy they wanted to shoot the last shot, earlier in the game this guy air-balled a free throw and had missed almost everything he threw up, but with time running out, he threw up a jump shot that hit the front iron and rattled in. putting them up 71-69 leaving a OU with 1 second for a desperation shot. The shot fell short.
The final was 71-69. Amazing considering the game was played 3 vs. 4 for 38 minutes. Northwestern Mutual had 2 subs. Much like the 300 Spartans who did fall at the Battle of Thermopylae, the Spartans returned in greater numbers to win the war.
Game Notes:
Patel spoke to the orthopedist, and it’s a strain of the MCL, he’s on the DL for at least 4 weeks.
