Week 7 Recap

#1 Barfinkle/Team Sit on My Face 47 - #14 Malkin 40
IT WAS OVER...	GAME BALL GOES TO...	QUOTE
A lot later than it should've been. Malkin-Rosenfeld is a good combination for opponents, but Barifinkle couldn't take advantage. Also, motivation is lacking for Barifinkle, who know they're going to finish 8-0. They've earned a breather before the playoffs.	Chris Sweitzer. With star point guard Ryan Murningham absent, Barifinkle needed a leader, and Sweitzer stepped up. Sources say he had upwards of 15. Conor Healy also helped carry Barifinkle, going into double figures as well.	"33's a lot of points to cover Hermanson" - Conor Healy
Up Next: Barifinkle vs. Ortega. Malkin vs. Tallula

#2 Men 36 - #6 AK-47 34 (3 OT)
IT WAS OVER WHEN...	GAME BALL GOES TO...	QUOTE
Mike Maley put back a Willy Moore miss at the buzzer for his only two points of the game. Willy passed to Sopko, and Maley's defender went out to guard Sopko, leaving Maley wide open for the put-back. The real drama came at the end of the first OT, when Gorodetsky's double-pump 3 at the buzzer, with Sopko in his face, dropped to win it for AK-47. The basket was called good, but later the refs congregated and determined that it came after the buzzer, and changed the call to no good. Men had new life, and took advantage.	Willy Moore. Pissed off the entire game, Willy was screaming commands at his team, and led them to a big time win with 22 points. The story, I think, is that AK-47 is for real now that Gorodetsky is back. Watch out.	"Give the ball to Willy and get the fuck out of his way. That was our offense tonight" - Alex Hankin
Up Next: Men vs. Globo Gym. AK-47 vs. AD.

#9 Boo Radley and Friends 38 - #3 Globo Gym Purple Cobras 24
IT WAS OVER WHEN...	GAME BALL GOES TO...	QUOTE
Globo Gym went down 15-4. Boo Radley kept a double digit lead the rest of the game	Spencer Levin. Spencer orchestrated the early run, and it was never really close. Although he's the tallest player on the court, he let the rebounding get done by Justin Horwitz, who finished with around 10 boards.	"Blogspot that bitches!" - Alex Rosen
Up Next: Globo Gym vs. Men. Boo Radley vs. We Are Huge in Japan.

#4 AD 32 - #15 Hungry Unicorns 11
IT WAS OVER WHEN...	GAME BALL GOES TO...	QUOTE
The schedule was set. Brandon Batt came in jeans and so did Miles Lashley. Looks to me like the boys are getting a little cocky. Big game next week with AK-47.	Matt Coan, team captain of AD, who turned in the team's application 17th, ensuring his team would play the easiest schedule out of everyone. Another good spot would've been 10, where OKC ended up.	"Of course" - Brandon Batt, being asked if AD won.
Up Next: AD vs. AK-47. Hungry Unicorns vs. Elect Judge Jim Wascher. #5 Theo 49 - #16 Tuesday's With Morrie 24 IT WAS OVER WHEN... GAME BALL GOES TO... QUOTE Theo won last week. They secured the privelege of only having to win one game to lock up an A-league spot. Tuesday's With Morrie didn't prove to be much of a challenge. Cody Hines. Take one look at that shot and tell me to not give him MVP. "I'm really strong" - Nick Nykaza (aka I didn't have a quote) Up Next: Theo vs. Ba Dunk-A-Dunk. Tuesday's With Morrie vs. Attack the Rack. #10 Elect Judge Jim Wascher 44 - #7 Oklahoma City Thunder 32 IT WAS OVER WHEN... GAME BALL GOES TO... QUOTE I pulled aside John Cook after school, and told him Jim Wascher needed a 5th. The kid came to play, not scoring a lot, but playing with intensity, grabbing boards (I mean the kid's 6'6") and playing defense. John Cook. Who Else? He brings the Connor Smith height, and long arms element to Elect Judge Jim Wascher, except he does it exponentially better. Look for Cook to possibly lead a late season charge by Jim Wascher. Remember: this is the same team that won the title as the 8 seed freshman year. "Even though Dsida scored 30, John Cook is the answer to our prayers" - Jack Wascher Up Next: OKC vs. Brown. Jim Wascher vs. Hungry Unicorns. #11 Ortega 42 - #8 Brown 33 IT WAS OVER WHEN... GAME BALL GOES TO... QUOTE Stu Brown and Christian Sarkisian started shooting from beyond the arc. They went down early, and tried to force the issue with long balls. It didn't work out. Ben Morton. Morton saw what needed to be done (a win), and did it. He and Reid Berry both contributed for Ortega, both around 15 points. He also drew a few fouls... "It's lucky the Ben Morton School of Flopping hasn't been affected by this economy" - Sarkisian Up Next: Brown vs. OKC. Ortega vs. Barifinkle. #13 Attack the Rack 22 - #12 We Are Huge in Japan 20 IT WAS OVER WHEN... GAME BALL GOES TO... QUOTE Nick Dronen's game-tying buzzer beater, was ruled void, as his foot was out of bounds. Maybe the boldest call we've seen all year. This one most likely vaulted Attack the Rack into the playoffs, and Japan out of them. Gutsy play of the game: Japan going shirtless. I repeat: no players wore a shirt. Peter Lind. Peter had 12 points and seems to have pushed Attack the Rack into the playoffs. Sam Shapiro made 3 out of 4 free-throws at the end while Japan was fouling. "The two reasons we lost: the ref, and most of all Nick Kafkis" - Anonymous, after turning it over 5 times in 3 minutes, Kafkis may get kicked off We Are Huge in Japan. Up Next: Japan vs. Boo Radley. Attack the Rack vs. Tuesday's With Morrie #17 Tallula 27 - #18 Ba Dunk-A-Dunk 22 IT WAS OVER WHEN... GAME BALL GOES TO... QUOTE Connor O'Halleran hit two free-throws (in a one and one) to put Tallula up by 3. From there Ba Dunk-A-Dunk didn't score and was forced to foul O'Halleran again, who knocked down 2 more. Connor O'Halleran. Good free-throw shooting comes from dedication and practice. That kid's got more heart than anyone I know. Tallula will finish with one, maybe two (if they beat Malkin next week), while Ba Dunk-A-Dunk will complete a winless season (Theo next week). "We Ba Suck-A-Suck" - Andrew Heisler Up Next: Tallula vs. Malkin. Ba Dunk-A-Dunk vs. Theo.

Week 6 Recap

#1 Barfinkle/Team Sit on My Face 48 - #9 Boo Radley and Friends 36
IT WAS OVER WHEN...	GAME BALL GOES TO...	QUOTE
Gillyweed got busy. He's listed at 6'4", but was playing 6'11" today (7's a little generous), and just dominated Boo Radley and Friends down low the entire game. Barifinkle's size is going to be tough to beat this year, and after a Globo Gym loss, they are big favorites to win it all (they were before too, but now doubts about the Cobras have been confirmed).	Not Healy. Charlie Gilvarg dropped 29 for Barifinkle, and showed why they're number 1 in the land.	"Justin Horwitz is tough" - Team Sit on My face, also naming him to 1st team All Night League Bitch team, possibly a new team in the final awards.
Up Next: Barifinkle vs. Malkin. Boo Radley vs. Globo Gym.

#5 Theo 30 - #2 Globo Gym Purple Cobras 28
IT WAS OVER WHEN...	GAME BALL GOES TO...	QUOTE
John Haller's 40 foot buzzer beater hit the front rim. Although Theo completely outplayed Globo Gym, a run orchestrated by John Haller's late heroics at the end kept it close.	Harry Furse. Furse scored 20 for Theo, and dominated the entire game. His pro-hop layup shot is one of the toughest to stop in all of Night League, but he proved he could hit the outside shot as well with a few baskets.	"Despite the ref's best efforts, Globo Gym still couldn't win" -Tim Stringer, possibly implying that the ref was bribed by one of Globo Gym's players. I wonder how much it was... anyway, not enough, I guess.
Up Next: Globo Gym vs. Boo Radley and Friends. Theo vs. Tuesday's With Morrie

#3 Men 46 - #7 Brown 38
IT WAS OVER WHEN...	GAME BALL GOES TO...	QUOTE
Mike Sopko started shooting. In possibly his best performance ever, Sopko hit everything he looked and showed why Men is always a threat.	Sopko. Who else? Brown played their hearts out, and Gordie Campbell dropped 27, but you can't be MVP if your team doesn't get the W. Men showing their strengths now that TJ Keene is back.	"He [Sopko] shot like he would never touch a ball again" - Alex Hankin "Mike Maley is the most unselfish player in Night League. He is the sole reason they won" - Gordie Campbell
Up Next: Men vs. AK-47. Brown vs. Ortega.

#4 AD 31 - #10 Elect Judge Jim Wascher 26
IT WAS OVER WHEN...	GAME BALL GOES TO...	QUOTE
AD started to press. Jim Wascher doesn't have a great ballhandler on their team, and AD took advantage of that, forcing turnovers at the right time. When Wascher tried to press back, it left Nik Appelt and Brandon Batt open.	Nik Appelt. Contrary to popular belief, he is a real person, and really burned Jim Wascher today. Obviously not respected by team Wascher, he was given open shots, and hit them. Brandon Batt also scored a lot, despite shooting very poorly from the field.	"I messed him up. Tell Brandon Batt he's next"- Tim Denenberg before the game, describing what happened to Kerby Hilardes 6th period.
Up Next: AD vs. Hungry Unicorns. Elect Judge Jim Wascher vs. OKC Thunder. #6 AK-47 40 - #17 Tuesday's With Morrie 38 IT WAS OVER WHEN... GAME BALL GOES TO... QUOTE Robert Gorodetsky fell on Charlie Polan's ankle. That's when all of AK-47's hopes of ever playing another good game went down the drain. The only thing that helped them was their opponent. Doug Lavey. He's AK-47's best player, and led his team to victory. However, they showed they are a bad team without Robert Gorodetsky, keeping a game with TUESDAY'S WITH MORRIE close. Wow. "Nope and don't care cause they are all fags" - Anonymous after being asked if he knew anything about this game. "Lots of turnovers and no D. If Ahern wasn't so high they might've won" - Doug Lavey Up Next: AK-47 vs. Men. TWM vs. Theo. #8 Oklahoma City Thunder 52 - #13 Malkin 17 IT WAS OVER WHEN... GAME BALL GOES TO... QUOTE Metro North came out with this year's schedule, and called for New Trier Blue to play Stevenson. That meant no Jeremy Rosenfeld for Malkin, and no Danny Malkin didn't help either. Jeff Dsida and Co. took advantage. Jeff Dsida. Jeff is the fearless leader of OKC, and dominated a weak Malkin team. This game was played 5 on 4, OKC with 5. OKC scored 52, and who else on that team do you think scored a marginal amount? Credit Dsida with 20. Also, Chris Reagan contributed, scoring 8 of the first 12 for OKC. "Reagan was the key" - JP Harvey Up Next: OKC vs. Elect Judge Jim Wascher. Malkin vs. Barifinkle. #11 Ortega 30 - #12 Attack the Rack 29 IT WAS OVER WHEN... GAME BALL GOES TO... QUOTE Nobody scored in the last 1:10. After taking a 6 point lead with 4 minutes left, Attack the Rack self-destructed, allowing a 7-0 Ortega run to end the game. Attack the Rack needed this one if they wanted a berth in the A playoffs. Ben Morton. Morton had some late second heroics, leading Ortega's final charge propelling them to a win, a .500 record, and with Brown and Barifinkle left, they have a slim shot at the A league. They'll need some help. "Who's more of a bitch? Ben Morton or Ho?" - Chris Sweitzer, once again discussing the new All-Star team. Up Next: Ortega vs. Brown. Attack the Rack vs. We Are Huge in Japan. #14 We Are Huge in Japan 23 - #15 Tallula 22 IT WAS OVER WHEN... GAME BALL GOES TO... QUOTE Japan, down 22-21, got a big basket from Dronen. They went up 1, and closed the deal on defense. With Attack the Rack and Boo Radley and Friends left, they could get 1 more win, finish .500 and sneak into the A bracket. This team is 5 points, and a Willie Peppey non-foul away from being 0-6. That would be amazing. Nick Dronen. Dronen leads a Japaneese attack that is now 3-3, with wins against Ba Dunk-A-Dunk, Hungry Unicorns, and now Tallula, #16, #18, #15. Now that's taking advantage of opportunities. Average margin of victory in those games? Less than 2. "One beer queer" - Nick Dronen, about Joey Bartzis, who he lately referenced with a few choice words that shall remain unlisted. By the way, Dronen, Bartzis wants to hurt you, and he's very strong. "We just want a spot in the conso bracket" - Connor O'Halleran Up Next: Japan vs. Attack the Rack. Tallula vs. Ba Dunk-A-Dunk #18 Hungry Unicorns 26 - #16 Ba Dunk-A-Dunk 25 (3 OT) IT WAS OVER WHEN... GAME BALL GOES TO... QUOTE Ba Dunk couldn't get an and-1 at the end of the game. John Secaras' layup wasn't enough to win it, and now Ba Dunk-A-Dunk joins Tallula as the only winless teams in the league. Next week's matchup? Ba Dunk-A-Dunk vs. Tallula. That one should be good. Andrew Roche. Although he has a unique shot, he can get the ball in the hoop, and showed some mental toughness too, getting out of the Winless Teams group. Round of applause for Willie Peppey too, who after fouling Dronen to lose last week's game, didn't foul Secaras at the buzzer, securing his team the win. "OK, so Alex Porter should be kept in a cage. End of story. We were afraid of him and just couldn't match their girth. I was on fire and Heisler hit some big shots, but missed free throws killed us in the end" - Anonymous Up Next: Ba Dunk-A-Dunk vs. Tallula. Hungry Unicorns vs. AD

Week 4 Recap

#13 Elect Judge Jim Wascher 45 - #1 Men 42
IT WAS OVER WHEN...	GAME BALL GOES TO...	QUOTE
Ben Burgess got a layup and 1, missed the free throw, got his own rebound made a layup and 1, for a 5 point play.	Henry Perry. 20 points, 3 steals, 2 blocks 6 boards. For those of you keeping track at home that's a quadruple-single.	"That one was for all the doubters who said we didn't have what it takes. I had a chip on my shoulder and proved them wrong. God Bless. Praise be to Allah." - Henry Perry "I'm gonna get more shit than Martin Lawrence's latest film" - Alex Hankin
Up Next: Men vs. Ortega. Wascher vs. Ba Dunk-A-Dunk.

#2 Barifinkle/ Team Sit on My Face 55 - #15 We Are Huge in Japan 29
IT WAS OVER WHEN...	GAME BALL GOES TO...	QUOTE
Barifinkle turned in their Night League application. They've got their first real test with Theo next week.	Chris Sweitzer. Sweitzer ran past the poorly-conditioned Japanese team, on his way to a game high 16 points.	"Healy didn't have his best game ever"- Ryan Murningham
Up Next: Barifinkle vs. Theo. Japan vs. Hungry Unicorns.

#3 Globo Gym Purple Cobras 47 - #14 Tallula 17
IT WAS OVER WHEN...	GAME BALL GOES TO...	QUOTE
4 people walked through the gym for Globo Gym, ensuring they would be allowed to play. The Purple Cobras led 26-3 in the first half.	Ryan Rakocy. Ryan opened the game for Globo Gym scoring the first 8 points to start the game off with a big lead.	"I hate teams like this. When are we gonna play a real game?" - Matt Haller
Up Next: Globo Gym Purple Cobras vs AK-47. Tallula vs. Attack the Rack

#5 Theo 21 - #4 AK-47 19 (OT)
IT WAS OVER WHEN...	GAME BALL GOES TO...	QUOTE
Joe Lankford hit a 3 at the beginning of the extra period to put Theo ahead by three 19-16, which iced the game, especially with Gorodetsky out after injuring himself on the last play of regulation.	Joe Lankford. Leading scorer for Theo keeps them in the playoff race at 2-2. Also gives them a big win in a rivalry that started freshman year. Gorodetsky should be quiet for a few days.	"Robert, that's not like a funny joke" - Cody Hines
Up Next: AK-47 vs. Globo Gym Purple Cobras. Theo vs. Barifinkle/Team Sit on My Face. #6 Oklahoma City Thunder 37 - #17 Ba Dunk-A-Dunk 28 IT WAS OVER WHEN... GAME BALL GOES TO... QUOTE When the timer showed 2 minutes left. OKC was up 8. They led throughout the entire game, but it was never clearly over till there was about 2 minutes left. Jeff Dsida. Jeff had his way with 0-4 Ba Dunk-A-Dunk scoring 18 points to propel 18th ranked Strength of Schedule OKC to 4-0. "Dsida owned as usual" - Andrew Heisler Up Next: OKC vs. Boo Radley and Friends. Ba Dunk-A-Dunk vs. Elect Judge Jim Wascher. #7 AD 44 - #12 Attack the Rack 35 IT WAS OVER WHEN... GAME BALL GOES TO... QUOTE When AD overcame a 2 point deficit to go up 4. Then they started making their free throws to put it away. Who else? Brandon Batt. "Yo, dude, seriously. Put me as MVP of that shit." - Brandon Batt Up Next: AD vs Malkin. Attack the Rack vs. Tallula . #10 Ortega 26 - #8 Malkin 16 IT WAS OVER WHEN... GAME BALL GOES TO... QUOTE Mills Rendell didn't show up. You're not gonna win many games with just 4 guys, especially against 5. Way to help the team Mills. Ben Morton. He lead Ortega into a must win game against playoff competition heading to 2-2 while Malkin drops to 1-3. "It's tough to win when they're on a 30 minute powerplay" - Mike McGarry (Malkin played with just 4) Up Next: Malkin vs. AD. Ortega vs. Men. #9 Brown 34 - #11 Boo Radley and Friends 32 (OT) IT WAS OVER WHEN... GAME BALL GOES TO... QUOTE Stu Brown made the only basket in the extra session, to give Brown their 2nd win, and put them currently in the playoff picture. Chris Kennedy. The sophomore replacement for an injured Christian Sarkisian proved he can play with the upperclassmen. Look for a possible addition to Brown's current roster. "The name on the front of our jersey is a hell of a lot more important than the one on the back" - Gordie Campbell (the kid loves Miracle quotes) Up Next: Brown vs. Tuesday's With Morrie. Boo Radley and Friends vs. OKC Thunder. #16 Hungry Unicorns L - #18 Tuesday's With Morrie W IT WAS OVER WHEN... Nobody cared who won the matchup of the winless teams, and neither team reported a score. Let's be honest: does anybody actually care how this game turned out?
