In a late afternoon game at Bowman Park, Eman can be heard celebrating. Players eagerly crowded the court to take the next spot, and FEO players Lyzy, Ryda, Nova, and Jamil were banished to sidelines to watch on in defeat. Nothing sounds too bizarre, until you realize that *the entire result was not supposed to occur like that in the first place. *
As the box score would later show, it turns out that Team Lyzy scored 18 total points on 12/42 shooting, while Team Eman scored 15 points on 11/53 shots. Only in the mist of the chaos did Lyzy realize this fate, and unsuccessfully argue his case. Ryda seemed clueless, at first accepting the end result without protest, but then also would go on to say he would "check the film" .
Confusion was showing early in the game. While going on late game scoring run, Nova can be heard mistakenly lowering his own team's score.
Then, after cold shooting performances from Eman (2/16),Joel (1/7), and Lucky (3/12), Team Eman managed to seal their "victory' by making three 3-point baskets. Eman drilled 2 deep shots back to back, which led to Lucky hitting a game winner.
Niggas need to get some referees out here, or something.
This game is the first in which 3 FEO ballers caught 10 or more rebounds. Jamil created FEO history by snagging 16 boards for Team Lyzy, while Lucky and Joel smashed the board by getting 13 and 10 rebounds respectively.
Offensively, Jaden carried the load for Team Eman, scoring 6 points on 5/14 shooting, grabbed 5 rebounds, and picked 2 steals. Lyzy had a career high scoring night, shooting 4 3-pointers, and adding 9 points to his team.
Ryda and Nova showcased their playmaking, with both players achieving a combined total of 7 assists (Ryda-4, Nova-3). The entire Team Eman lineup only had 4 total assists.
