Like the roman numerals? Super Bowl theme, eh. Ok here comes my second in game post. So we are wearing the orange! And it is 5-1 with 17:00 left in the first.
And the shots aren’t falling. The only time we have scored is Leonard. 7-5 the score. So give it to Leonard every single time. 10-7. Leonard has 6 of the 7. And they are getting rebounds. And they shouldn’t. And we are shooting too many threes. And Reggie Hearn (???) has 10 points. Gosh. Kill this team. This is what I would have like to see: Paul, DJ, Henry, Egwu (or Griffey??), and Leonard. 18-12. And I see our defense. And JoeBert is playing off Hearn and he hits another 3. So why is he playing off him. Don’t we practice defense 90% of practice? 23-16 10:41 left in the half. Stop shooting 3’s please. Please. No fouls for us. Good right. Yeah I guess. Stop shooting 3’s please. Please. It’s every possession except for when we pass to Leonard. Unless your DJ don’t shoot 3’s. ‘Cause DJ just made one. 23-21 8:15 to go. I should stop with these little update things.
To this point I have not seen Egwu, Griffey, or Henry. Henry just had 2 straight solid games. And every time we pass to our only big guy on the floor he scores. Random thought: Have you ever noticed that Shurna shoots A LOT. Ok BP3 you can be part of the 3 point club with DJ and JoeBert. You just made one. Easy shots. We are giving them easy shots. But BP43 again! 29-27 Purple People. So when are we going to start killing them? How ’bout right noe with under 5 left in the half. Nice Abrams. Layup and an and one. But the big thing before this free throw. Myke Henry!! In the game. Now do something. And they just got a dunk in Assembly Hall. That should never ever happen here. EVER. Henry out. Why? Leonard REJECTS IT! Nice rebound. 8 points 5 rebounds 2 blocks. Nice ball movement and who scores. Leonard. Ok down 2. Turn it on. Right now. Leonard scores again. Give him the ball every single time. Every possession they have no chance. He is 5/5 from the field. Offensive foul with 0.8. And Reggie Hearn (???) with 16 points? But Meyers has 12. They have no answer for him at all. So now it is halftime and that ruins the in game so next paragraph which will be in about 10 minutes I’ll be back.
I guess since it is still the middle of the game halftime talk won’t ruin “the in game spirit” We have 7 turnovers. I have seen 0 minutes from Griffey and Egwu and about 1 minute from Henry. So use our bench wear them out. They only have 5 players who can even come close to matching up with anyone on our team. So let’s pound them. Start just beating them down. Pull away. 10-15 points. Make them play catch up. We haven’t one by 10 or more since Coppin State! Ok half is starting.
It is 36-33 and we should not be losing to them at home. Shoot DJ. Shoot. Guess what they just said we haven’t led all game. At home. We are playing defense and moving the ball well but I don’t think most of the guys know you have to shoot to score. Leonard does, he is 7/7 now. Now he gets fouled. They have no chance. And Bertrand just made a SportCenter top-10 play. There you go Alioneye. And Bertrand again!!! Our first lead. Yay! We getting on a roll. Let’s go. Ooh not a turnover. Momentum finally. I am so ready to step on their throat. And this is officially the longest post in Orange&Blue Craze history!! Nice three Crawford. Air ball air ball air ball. Just keep it going. Come on score a basket or something. Charge nice. Great D so far in the half. And Hearn (???) has three fouls and hasn’t scored since the 7:31 mark. Up 1. Never mind. 3 for JoeBert. Leonard scores again.
Commercial break. I hate all these games were we don’t pull away. Wimpy foul. Shurna is so pumped because Sam barely touched him. Foul Northwestern. Pull away. I feel like I am saying the same things over and over. We are in the bonus! Nice take advantage of it. BP3 with both free throws made. Win this by 10 at least. 700 words. Missed them both at the line. What bad foul call. Score some points. Bring Myke in. DJ RICHARDSON FOR 3!!!!! And then we give up a short jumper. Leonard fouled. Make these. Darn it. Brick. Ok made one. How in the world do they get offensive rebounds against us.
Gosh losing. 51-50. Leonard again. 19 points for him. Has he even taken a break? Don’t think so. Good for him. Let him score. He is the only one doing it. I guess it is just hopeless. Henry, Griffey, and Egwu will never ever play on the floor together. Too bad. I was good to imagine. You know I really get a lot of thoughts out in the game. Is this post too long. Oh well. No Leonard missed one. And then Shurna gets a layup. It has been 5-on-5 for each team with one bench player. 56-54 them. Uh oh. Leonard got hurt. Uh oh.
Egwu is in. Now he is not. Abrams with the put back. They score. 58-56 them. Gosh another jumper. DJ RICHARDSON FOR THREE. 62-59. Gosh Northwestern lives on luck. Lucky shot after lucky shot. How are they winning this game? I don’t get it. Score some points. Do something. Stop Shurna. Abrams with both of his free throws nice. And Hearn just scored. Turnover. Oh no. Down 3. 2:21 to go. Paul rebound. Bertrand miss. 66-61. 67-61. 68-61. This stinks. How do we not win this game? The haven’t won here since 1999. BP43. 68-64. Everyone is gone from the House of ‘Paign. We are down 6 with 20.4. Horrible. Horrible game. Henry in! Who cares. It is just because Bertrand fouled out. This last 10 seconds is taking too long. 70-74.
At least the in game was fun. The game stunk though. Four words to a thousand. Yay! 1001 words
