These past three days were spent blasting at NITC. We had an inter college basketball tournament there. We had the first match on Monday evening with GEC Thrissur. Their team was below par so Thomas (our star player) didn't even play that match and we beat them with a comfortable 20 point lead. In fact we started showing off at the end of the match (which ,in retrospect, could have been limited ). Our next match (the semis) was to be against CET. We had two players from CUCEK, so they said that they will protest if we made them play against them and hence disqualify us. We respectfully obliged to their suggestion and beat them by more than 20 points. If felt nice ;)
The last match was against NITC (the home team). At the onset of the match we didn't play well and they had a 16 point lead before we scored our first basket. At the end of the first half we were down 21 points. Then we decided that we will strengthen our defense and give it all. Slowly and steadily we started to catch up and at one point we were just down by 3 points. Unfortunately at that crunch situation I missed two underbasket shots (and according to Thomas that cost us the game ). We lost by 7 points but we gave them a nice fight. The crowd there was very decent unlike ours and some of them also appreciated some of our shots and they didn't even abuse us. We got the certificate and the prize money and we blasted the night in the hostel, where we were staying. We returned the next morning.
The NIT campus was very nice and quite .... we changed all that for a period of two days ;)
