Basketball(Girls) : BITS v/s LNIPE Gwalior

2052 hrs
GAME OVER!!! LNIPE beats BITS 34-10. Definitely not the result the crowd wanted. Meanwhile, I will just be off for a break...Domino's calls...and my stomach answers...
2051 hrs
Seems like LNIPE is now practicing shooting from the half-line...in the match...Full marks to the BITSian girls for efforts, but sadly they are not proving to be enough.
2050 hrs
Another altercation between two LNIPE players. Seems like team spirit might be a grave issue in the face of stronger opponents...Another timeout...Another huddle by the BITSian girls...with an animated pep talk being delivered by the coach. Still 34-10 to BITS.
2047 hrs
Meanwhile, the crowd is requesting that the BITS girls do a sliding tackle on their opponents. Still 33-10.
2046 hrs
One nice jump shot each by both teams. 33-10 to LNIPE.
2045 hrs
A change in our company...By the way, it's another timeout...
2044 hrs
LNIPE gets to 30 first...Doesn't look like BITS is going to catch up... 30-8 is the latest score.
2043 hrs
Update from the Volleyball arena...SIES is about to give walkover to BITS...De ja vu any one??
2040 hrs
An altercation between two members of the LNIPE team regarding a misplaced pass. And then they go miss an easy layup. Nice jumper on the rebound though. BITS seems to have no idea how to encounter their speed and movement.
BITS finally scores after a long while. Varsha the scorer. And another one by Richa. Latest score: 26-6 to LNIPE.
2038 hrs
Seems like we can install LNIPE as one of the favourites for the gold. Meanwhile, all hallmarks of a catfight are suddenly visible...sadly, the referee intervenes and the fight is off.
Score: 24-2 to LNIPE.
Weather Update: 37 degrees was the maximum temperature in Pilani today, according to Yahoo! weather report.
2033 hrs
LNIPE is looking like they have become a bit complacent. Missed an easy layup. Half-time: Score is still 22-2. The crowd is still going though, seems like they are expecting a miracle or they just like basketball too much. Good play by LNIPE till now.
Meanwhile, the coach looks like he is giving the BITSian team the hairdryer treatment. Go Fergie followers!!!
LNIPE is not even remotely tired and their reserves are coolly practicing their shooting. Is it some kind of powerplay and show of strength? Meanwhile, BITS' girls are still in a huddle with the coach, looking tired. Psychological powerplay or what?? Full points for the mind games to LNIPE.
2032 hrs
Our on-court specialist says, "Speed seems to be issue with the BITS team..." Score: 22-2 to LNIPE.
2030 hrs
We are now officially inviting votes for Hema's nickname: Shall it be CFG or do we go for MRF?
This discussion is better than the match, it seems...After all, LNIPE is walking away with the match, despite all the efforts of the BITSian team to the contrary.
2029 hrs
And Harsha got us an ice-cream...You rock mate!!!
2028 hrs
"You better write what I say when I say it...This is my don't mess with me face," says Hema. Rohit has suddenly realized that he is sitting next to a very dangerous person.
Meanwhile, BITS finally scores. 16-2 to LNIPE.
2025 hrs
Timeout...17-0 to LNIPE...Meanwhile the score has suddenly and mysteriously gone to 16-0 to LNIPE...Seems like the scorers are helping BITS...or was it that they were assisting LNIPE in the first place?
2024 hrs
I am going to start taking bets now on when BITS will score...17-0 to LNIPE...Is that one-sided or is there still scope for BITS to launch a comeback? Surely, it is time for the home crowd to enact the role of the 6th (wo)man...
2022 hrs
BITS can't score at the moment...13-0 to LNIPE. The tension is just too visible on every BITS players' face.
2020 hrs
Afraid we are a little late for the match...BITS is getting humped here...10-0 to LNIPE.
