Bada Bing Gets Whacked
Reading MA – Bada Bing and Origins Unknown squared off in a good ol’ fashion shoot out at the YMCA last night, with OU coming out on top for the third straight game 70 sumpthin’ – 60 sumpthin’. OU was paced by Danger Dan Fisher and James “Stretch” Hogan IV, both of whom scored well into double digits. Chris “Big” Johnson also had a monster game, gaining excellent position and using his height and “love” to his advantage.
Showing up for the first time this session (for Bada–Bing) was none other than ex-Evans sharp shooter “Z”. Diminutive in stature, but deadly on the court, Z was closely guarded by Danger Dan most of the night and struggled to find consistency, even though he made some tough shots. He did score his fair share of points, but only by shooting 30 shots.
OU once again used the T-E-A-M concept on offense, sharing the ball with regularity and jumping out to a first half lead by taking advantage of mismatches and defensive lapses. Cushioned by their lead, OU did lose some momentum heading into the end of the half. After draining his first two three pointers, Cap’n Mike lost some mojo and missed several wide open three point attempts (hard to believe, I know). But Danger Dan, Big Chris, and Stretch Hogan continued their attack with each player streaking at opportune times. Hogan, in an attempt to break the single game offensive rebound record, was positively relentless getting to the basket - and following his own shots. He ended the game with 17 offensive rebounds - for a new league record (just kidding).
The second half saw Dr. Greg Robinson and Shu-ter Patel getting into the action. While Patel struggled with a new knee brace that was throwing his shot off, Dr. Greg started heating up like a mid-June afternoon. Danger Dan also continued to push the tempo and go mono e mono with Z to build the lead back up.
With the game out of reach, Big Johnson showed his athleticism as he skied for a errant shot under the hoop. Witnesses said that it looked as if Johnson would scrape his head on the backboard if he hadn’t ducked at the last moment.
Next week, OU will face its first major test when they take on Chili’s in a battle of the first place teams. Chili’s is coming off of a championship, and has added a top flight swingman to their already tough arsenal.
