The ad Hoc "showdown" with the women's squad Friday night was meant to shake the rust off and also provide a little entertainment for a non paying crowd at Gill
Highlights:
Although technically the score went in the women's favor, the no cherry picking, no full court press, and no dunking rule were constraints on the affair. Also the women were given the huge advantage of no shot clock and the officials were conscripted from their side.
Surprisingly the affair was hotly contested and at one point i thought Rueck would come to blows with big Tink. They had to be separated. It didnt help that the one really good women's player, (sorry I'm not good with names) was doing her Harlem globetrotter impersonation while isolating on Tres, multiple crossovers, jabsteps, then draino on the set shot followed by fingers to the dome as is the vogue now. Tres got revenge with a nicely timed tripping next possession which caused a sort of hell to break loose. I really did not think hair pulling and 3 stooge style stiff arm to the forehead against windmill punches is what anyone had in mind when they decided to do this, but hey people are competitive. When play resumed Tres missed both ends of the technical because, I believe the heckling from the women's side was just that loud. One thing I do not ever need to see again Is kyler kelley rejecting a set shot with such force it knocks the woman player to the floor and then see him moonwalking in front of the women's bench much to the joy of his brethren. Well, the women did bring it upon themselves with their constant backtalk, crow noises and pointing at the scoreboard.
All in all, everybody got a good run in and with no true opponent for three weeks, kept the competitive juices flowing. Could have done without the tears though. Dastrup gets pretty emotional.
