CUMaS vs Fitzwilliam BbC (19/01/2007)

CUMaS 58 – 49 Fitzwilliam Basketball Club

We, the CUMaS basketball team gave an extremely brilliant performance offensively to defeat the Fitzwilliam team. Yi Chung contributed the most points, scoring 28 points, and also recording 4 assists. His performance was superb, making shot after shot, and burning the Fitzwilliam defence with his quick drives to the basket.

The game started quickly, with Fitzwilliam pounding the ball inside at every opportunity they could get. With their size and strength, it seemed like the most logical option, and at the early stages, we could not handle these attributes, but as the game went on, we slowly adjusted, and started applying extremely good defensive pressure on them.



Yi Chung scored all the early points, and slowly, everyone else started contributing. Yi Jin came off the bench to score 8 points in total, and Kevin had 8 points too, but also dishing out 7 assists. Other notable scorers were Yew Hong who had 6, and Chee Lup who had 4. We then dominated the game after the first 10 minutes, and there was no looking back for us – at one stage we held a 15 point lead.

The defensive effort was stellar. Siew Kit was amazing defensively, and he had 4 blocks. He was also pivotal on the defensive boards, taking down 7 rebounds. Yew Hong was a monster on the boards, he had 15 rebounds, 10 of them which were defensive, 5 offensive.

Overall, it was a great team effort, and with performances like this, there is no doubt that we’ll perform brilliantly in the OxBridge games.
