Men Cruise to V-I-C-T-O-R-Y

The men's basketball team has played so many pre-season games I just can't keep track. For some reason they played Southern Oregon University (November 13), which is odd because we play them two times (at least) during the regular season. Why would you want to play them more than you have to? I don't like playing teams very many times; it gets boring. I remember last year we played SOU in the pre-season and I hated playing them so much! But, nonetheless our men won and got another tick mark on the left side of their games record.

I heard from a professor that "DJ Dirty Dan" of 89.5, interviewed a few SOU basketball players and they were talking about how they were going to lose. It is funny because it seems like they do not want to play us either. Huh. Interesting.

Anyway, as far as the leaders for the game, Ryan Fiegi lead in points with 24, assists with 6 and steals with 4; Christian Cavanaugh lead in rebounds with 10 and earned a double-double with 19 points and also had 2 blocks; Brent Johnson also had two blocks. The final score was OIT 85, SOU 55.
For the previous two games, I must admit that I got a little bored--again. Our men beat Simpson University by 40 points on November 9, and beat Bethany on November 10 by 34. Those are not as big of blowouts as we've seen before, but they were beating them enough to where I left at half-time.

The leaders for the Simpson game were Christian Cavanaugh with 18 points and 3 steals; Ryan Fiegi with 7 rebounds, 8 assists, and 6 blocks (!); Josh Wetzler also had 7 rebounds.

The Bethany game leaders were Josh Wetzler with 11 rebounds; Christian Cavanaugh with 20 points and 2 blocks; and Jguwon Hogges with 8 assists and 2 steals.

After those games I was hoping that the men would see better competition relatively soon--not just to help them improve, but to keep them from getting too big of heads! (haha, joking)
