Shu-ter, OU, Put on Exhibition



Reading, MA - Origins Unknown warmed up for the upcoming summer playoffs by spanking The Free Agents 100-69 at the YMCA last night. The win bolstered OU's record to 6-2 on the session, and secured them the third seed in playoffs, where they will square off against........ The Free Agents (Hopefully, with some of the better players).

This game was over from the moment Shu-ter Patel walked in the gym and laced up the Chuck Taylors. The FA's showed up with only four players, none of whom could compete with their counterpart on OU. With advantages at every position, OU quickly jumped on their opponents and built an impenetrable lead within five minutes.

Packed in a ridiculously poor 2-2 zone, the FA's had more holes than a golf course. OU exploited these holes by finding gaps and then cutting or finding Shu-ter for open jumpers. Chris "Big" Johnson, James "Stretch" Hogan IV, and Cap'n Mike also did their part by making most of their first half shots, and sharing the ball with regularity.

The second half was more of the same. The FA's changed the zone slightly and started trying to put pressure on the ball, but OU easily went around the defense and was pouring in open shots. After a particularly bad stretch, tallgangly Mike from the FA's said, "We need to switch back to a 2-2, their shooting 100% on us".

OU let off the gas, but still managed to reach the century mark with a couple minutes left in the game. Shu-ter Patel led the OU quadrumverate with 34. Both Hogan and Johnson scored 24, and Cap'n Mike was low man with 16.

OU only managed to get to the line on one occasion, and Cap'n Mike again didn't make an appearance. He remains 7-8 on the year.
