Bree vs Charleroi – last regular season game
The battle for 1st place took place last night and I have a weird feeling, because although we lost the game 72-67 I’m still happy. This is the first time in my life I have ever been happy after a loss. We are tied for first place after our loss yesterday, but we have the point differential ahead of them. They had to beat us with 21 points to overtake 1st place from us. We started off like they were going to get the 21 point victory because at the end of the 1st quarter we were down 18-5. Yes, we only scored 5 points in 10 minutes. And between the first and the second quarter coach told us, if we would lose the game by 21 points or more it would be the BIGGEST embarrassment of our lives. We played better in the second, third and fourth quarter to keep the game close, in the end losing by 5 but in a way it’s a victory. There was some mild drama during the game when we were down 13 points with 2:29 minutes to go, they were pressing us and Tabu fouls me and their coach didn’t think it was a foul and he goes crazy getting two technical fouls and getting ejected. We made all 6 free throws to cut the lead to 7 points and the momentum of the game completely changed. We finished losing by 5 which is a moral victory and finishing in first place for the season. I had 26 points 2 rebounds 2 asst 2 steals and 2 turnovers, i was 8-9 from the floor (3-4 from 3) and 7-9 from the free throw line (my mother HATES missed free throws) Now we have a week off to get ready for the semi finals.
