I was so excited this morning I could barely wait until lunch. Basketball intramurals started today, and I felt like a little kid at Christmas. Since the season ended, I haven't been able to play basketball much, so the prospect of playing again was great. Playing with my teammates and friends only makes it better. This three on three tournament is part of the intramural March Madness event. It began with the foul shooting and three point shooting contest on Tuesday and continues until Tuesday next week. After the event is over, regular basketball intramurals will keep going for a few weeks.
The first round of three on three was a ton of fun today. The tournament is double elimination, but thankfully most teams are there to have fun. If people wanted, they could load up their teams and it could be brutal and fast, but that hapens enough in regular intramural games. This tournament is a great chance to hang out and play some hoops with friends.
In the first round, my team unfortunately was matched up against possibly the strongest team in the tournament. They were in it for the victory, and they were too much for us. It was fun though, and we tried hard. The unfortunate thing is that we were out of the tournament if we lost again. We fell into the loser's bracket and were able to win our next two games to stay alive. The tournament will wrap up on Monday, and I hope my team is able to stay in it for a couple more rounds at least. Come on down to the gym and root on the teams. There's a good chance that someone you know is playing. Have a great weekend and be ready for pi day on Monday!
