Well most of you know that I started up an Intramural basketball team at the University for this winter semester and I named it Yellow Fever after the tendencies of a few players on our team ;) The season has been on for three weeks now and we have played two games so far (since we had a week without a game). Our first game we lost by a lot, and it was pretty humiliating. I went in it hoping we wouldn't lose by more than 6 points, but we ended up losing 66-29 (or something like that). We lost because we had no offence and no defence. Every time we touched the ball we would toss it up (and miss, of course). We would stare at rebounds instead of going for them. The list goes on but I only have so much battery life on my laptop ;)
With a week off and then our second game on the third week we went into it with the horrible memories of our first game still fresh in our minds. We tried to erase those horrible memories by improving on all the parts that we lacked. This time we did a lot better. Our defense was better, our rebounding improved and our passing increased. However we still lacked any real offense, and most of our offence was due to fast breaks, so we'll have to work on that. We ended up losing by 7 points (46-39) which made me and the rest of the team a lot happier.
Our next game is this Wednesday evening and hopefully we can figure out some offense and improve on our defensive skills and pull out the W. I'm confident we can do it. We can definitely do it if we improve on things that we started at our last game.
Go Yellow Fever!!!!
