Week 1 5v5 Basketball

The game of the week pitted Theta Chi against AEPi in Fraternity A basketball. The rivalry between these two teams has intensified since that classic ending in the playoffs of Flag Football last semester. Theta Chi jumped out to an early lead highlighted by a three point attempt tipped in by center, Robert Forsyth. AEPi kept the game tight with great play by Gluck who had two threes in the first half. However, the rest of AEPi seemed to be off pace.

The critical play in the first half was an illegal substitution that led to a technical foul and two foul shots for Theta Chi. Corey Hutchinson knocked down both shots with ease. The technical caused a rift in the team for AEPi and really sparked Hutchinson who had two fast break lay ups in the second half. The punctuation mark for Theta Chi was an interception by Mazzalah of a pass by AEPi with 3 minutes left that lead to a successful, old fashioned three point play. Both teams will return to the hardwood next Tuesday with Theta Chi looking to start out at 2-0 while AEPi will try to return to .500 in league play.
