Cap'n, OU Stumbling Lately
Reading, MA - The blog and the team seem to be falling apart. Bloggin' and Ballin', once a highly regarded weekly stop on the blog roll, now gets updated less frequently than Jason Varitek hitting a home run. And, Origins Unknown, the team at the center of the basketball blog universe is now crawling along at a alarmingly-crappy pace.
Over the past two weeks, OU was able to get themselves into the win column after destroying an out-manned Hustlers team by 33. But, just as quickly as the good vibrations returned to Reading - they were sucked away by a dreadful performance against the Bostonville Grill, losing 67-53.
The loss was especially painful for Cap'n Mike and Big Dan Rasanen - who combined to go 5 for 353 from the field. Cap'n Mike was at a loss for words after the game. "Uhh...ahh...sucky shooting...no idea... don't understand... tough year so far," he said when asked why the shots weren't falling. For their part, BG played well with good inside outside balance, and some bruisers down low. OU played well in the first half, and even took a solid eight point lead in the first few minutes of the second half thanks to some hot shooting by Shu-ter Patel. But, BG hit some big threes to close the gap, and as Cap'n continued to misfire, the gap grew.
The loss moves OU to 1-3 in the league, and makes nearly all games must-win moving forward, if they ever plan to sneak into the playoffs. "Playoffs?!... Playoffs??!" screamed Danger Dan Fisher. "We're just trying to get a win right now! If you ask me a question like that again, I will go Bobby Knight on your ass with this chair."
