The first game on paper was a little bit of a mismatch as Donuts No Dunkin had a tough task ahead of them playing a top dawg in SAUS. But that didn’t stop DND from coming out strong with a 7-2 run to start the game in the first 5 minutes. That didn’t last long though as SAUS would go on to tie it with a three point shot from Andrew Ong around the 12 minute mark. Then both teams would go back and forth, Then DND would have a lead for most of the rest of the half after Anthony Neff hit his second three and DND was up three. Then SAUS regained the lead late in the half after Chin Kuo had a great pass to Eric Malumed 23-21. They would then hit a FT to make it a 3 pt game. DND had a chance to tie it before half and they did as Kevin Baldwin hit a massive shot, nothing but net. Tied 24-24

 

The next half started out with Anthony, continuing his success that he had in the first half. He had two quick baskets which put SAUS on their heels. It would be back and forth for most of the half. SAUS had the lead at the 10 minute mark 36-35. The game was an intense battle, DND was playing some of the best ball I’ve seen them play. Anthony was on fire and he hit a big three to tie it at the 8 minute mark then right after he had a nice layup to take the lead 40-38. SAUS wasn’t backing down as they were talking it out. They bent but didn’t break as late in the game it was 44-40 SAUS was down. That's when Chin hit a massive 3 and then a steal and a fast break basket right after to take the lead. Then SAUS would close it out at the FT line and get the dub 50-46.

 

 Game number three was what i told the refs would be game of the night and it didn't dissapoint. SAUS is really looking like a power house early on as the ball movement and energy they play with is dangerous. But FPP wasn't getting pushed around and they were playing well. They had Barry Varys who was back in the lineup scoring points in the paint. 13 - 11 Saus had the lead with 13 minutes left. It was after this point where SAUS would keep scoring and FPP would fall behind a bit. SAUS closed out the half on a 16-6 run lead by Maroti Mentor who had 12 first half points scoring from all over the floor. FPP was missing some of their shooters and it hurt them in the first half as they were down 32-23.

  The second half started with Griffen Haas cooking when handling the ball. He had some iso scores that were impressive. SAUS has fun with it and I think its a major reason why they win games. 39-26 was the score early on and then it was 44-30 with 10:30 to go. FPP was running out of time but then Jonah Kurman-Farber hit back to back 3s nothing but net. But as FPP had answers on offense, they just didn't have them on defense. SAUS would continue to score as FPP would get as close as 8 points down but just couldn't overcome SAUS's dominant game. Final 53-46. Even though it was a losing effort Jonah lead all scorers with 17 points. The first half was just too much to over come for FPP.

 

 

 The game between Saus and the Big ballers was one i was exctied for as i think both teams are really solid. But ufortunately BB lost one of their best players due to injury early on in the game. But that didn't stop BB from playing well in the first half. Daniel Shinnick had 8 pounts with with his team leading 14-12 with 8 minutes to go in the half. Saus then was able take their first lead after a Maroti Mentor 3 pt shot. Saus was in control 19-14 with 4 minutes to go and they would hold to a 4 pt lead at the end of the half. The score was 23-19. Daniel was doing all the scoring for BB and his teammates needed to step up in the next half if they wanted to win the game.

The next half started and it started off competitive and both teams were battling in the first 5. Maroti and Griffin Haas were both scoring alot of points for SAUS. They lead 29-27 with 14 minutes to go and this is when the game got away from BB. They went ice cold on the scoring side of things as they did lose their top scorer and they couldn't keep up with Maroti and Griffin scoring at will. For the rest of the half SAUS went on a 17-6 run! The game would come to an end with a SAUS victory 46-33. Maroti lead all scorers with 19!
