Marquee Game of the Week: (Thursday Score)
The Pillows vs. The Piledrivers
Outcome- 60-50, Piledrivers Win
The "Marquee" game of the week features last year's Competative Intramural Basketball Champions, The Piledrivers, versus The Pillows. The interesting matchup in this game was between senior Derek Thompson and sophomore Roland Millien. Both big men are only a month removed from the last game of the Men's Basketball regular season, in the loss to
The first half was close the entire way through. Both teams entered the 12 minute mark at 19-15, with the Piledrivers up. For the rest of the half, the Piledrivers built up their lead, and the Pillows scored just enough to make it a 8-10 point game. The halftime score was 34-26
In the second half, the Piledrivers opened with a run, but the Pillows came storming back getting to within one at 37-38, with 14:30 left in the game. But the Piledrivers went on a 6-0 run and took advantage of their rebounding situation. They had a 27-6 rebounding advantage in the second half. The Pillows could not establish any kind of run to make it a game, but because the Piledrivers shot poorly from the free throw line (3-12 in second half) the score remained close.
With 1:50 left, the score was 50-56. The Pillow's decided to foul junior Jason Szidot. He bounced both off the rim and the Pillows retained possession. With the clock winding down, the Pillow's ran off 25 seconds from the clock and they missed on their 3-point attempt. They then promptly fouled Szidot again.
With 1:06 remaining, Szidot missed his first and second free throw attempts, but the Piledrivers came up with the rebound. Upon the rebound and foul, Millien committed a technical foul and this ended any threat that the Pillows might pull off. The final score was 60-50.
Leading the way for the Piledrivers was sophomore Jessie Texiera who had 23 points on the game. Thompson also had 10 points, and Szidot chipped in with 11 points.
"It was just a fun game to play," said Texiera. "I'm just trying to have some of the fun I missed out on not playing for the Men's team this year." Texiera made the team, but was unable to participate this year because of other obligations.
The Pillows were led by Millien who had 20 points, and senior Joe Scotti had 17 points.
Millien said that he was impressed with the players on the Piledrivers team.
"One reason they won was because they had four players who should have played for the Men's team this year," said Millien.
