OU Avoids Off-Season Hangover

Reading, MA - While OU dominated the Free Agents in their opening night match-up 88-63, there were several side stories to be told including one player who found his left hand, and another who found his way to the bar before the game - only to show up and drop twenty points.

The Free Agents arrived with their big, bald center in tow this time, and in the first half actually kept the game relatively close. OU was plagued by a slow start, which saw plenty of open shots, but also plenty of misses. The FA bunch countered by giving their all, and keeping the score respectable. The big man was serviceable, and the supporting cast actually threw in some impressive, but blind, shots. The first half ended with a FA run, as they closed the gap 39-33. OU swaggered off the court clearly in control, but with less of a lead than anticipated.

The second half was owned by OU, as they came out guns a blazin. In less than 2 minutes, OU scored 12 points and quickly pushed the lead into the high teens. Who was doing the dirty work? Everyone. Cap'n Mike was passing and scoring with his left hand - dropping some picturesque assists along the way. Danger Dan Fisher was slashing to the hole in typical fashion, while also hitting 10-12 free throws.

In addition to the back-court effort, Shu-ter Patel, fresh off an early day booze cruise and bar stop was mixing inside/out concoctions on the court. James "Stretch" Hogan IV and Dr. J Greg Robinson also spread the offensive load, as OU ran away, never to turn back.


OU moves to 1-0, while the Free Agents take up their annual spot at the bottom of the standings. OU takes on the ever-improving Hustlers team next week. Cap'n Mike started off the season 2-2 from the line.
