BITS walking away with it now. Finally PEC score. 42-28 to BITS. Meanwhile, crazy fanboy says, "Anto is GOD!!!"

1956 hrs

"That was so cool. He just did what he had to do. Calm, cool..stood there...no expressions...just shot and scored" - Crazy fangirl about Antonio.

1953 hrs

The game sees to have slowed down...BITS has gone off into the distance with regards to the score.

Meanwhile Rohit comes in with the news that the Volleyball match is ended with BITS getting a walkover. The other team was SIES. If all of you can find them, please send them to Gym-G.

Meanwhile, Hema to the PEC guys, "The ball doesn't like them. Brilliant approach play, brilliant run, brilliant final passes...but it simply won't go in."

1951 hrs

Hema is gushing over Antonio's steal...Have to admit myself that the steal was awesome though the move in total didn't pay off. Live score: 38-24 to BITS. Timeout.

Crowd: "LAO RE LAO..." Can anyone fill in the blanks?

1949 hrs

Disagreement in the BEP area!!! Is the person standing on the sidelines a coach or a player? Live Score: 36-22 hrs...

Meanwhile, BITS cheerleaders to PEC, "DAALO DAALO KUCCH TOH DAALO...IDHAR NAHI JAATA TOH UDHAR DAALO."

1948 hrs

Lathi is the new crowd favourite. By the way, Lathi is a nickname...Real name: P R Shriram. 34-20 to BITS meanwhile.

1947 hrs

The largest amount of enthu is still coming from the kids banging their bottles against the benches. More enthu needed desperately!!! Score: 31-20 to BITS.

1946 hrs

Harsha, the BEP Ed, "We look like a proper press booth man...With a cam and all."
1944 hrs

Defending from the forward line...That seems to be the BITSian strategy...27-19 is the latest score...Antonio with a 3.

1943 hrs

Quick start for BITS after the restart. 24-19 to BITS...Any bets on the final score???

1940 hrs

Half time now. 20-17 to BITS. And the referee isn't too smooth with his skills...Missed a simple jumper after the whistle went. Meanwhile, the Volleyball match starts at 8.15 pm...Will cover that as well.

1938 hrs

Pawas, our man, is here...All the photos on our blog are courtesy him and our friends at the Photog club. Meanwhile, 2 more points added to the BITS score. 20-17 to BITS. Still the first half.

1937 hrs

Nice pass by Antonio to Lathi. BITS regains the lead...18-17 to BITS.

1936 hrs

The BITSians shooting radar is off today. Saahas, a 10-year old but 6 yrs by size says, "JEETEGA BHAI JEETEGA!!! BITS PILANI JEETEGA!!!" Way to go mate!!!

1935 hrs

I think it's BEP's turn to take the lead in cheering now...Everyone else seems tired...Maybe that is why we should all have holidays during BOSM...Better energy among the crowd. 17-16 to PEC.

1934 hrs

It's almost eerily silent here...Is everyone ruminating after having food?? Timeout...and score is 16-16.

1933 hrs

The crowd around me has at least 6 basketball coaches delivering sideline coaching tips...Do they seriously think the BITSians can hear them on court. Meanswhile, PR (Lathi) scores with a powering drive to the basket. PEC quickly responds with a reverse layup f their own. Latest score: 16-16.

1932 hrs

Somehow the retaliatory chants of "PEC!!PEC!!" from the PEC contingent can't compare to BITSian enthu. Sheer numbers and quality - deadly cheering combination. Score:14-12 to PEC..Breakaway...2 points...Scores level at 14.

1931 hrs

"Ek do, Ek do!! PEC ko phek do!!!" Need I say more??

1928 hrs

Antonio seems to be the Kobe Bryant of this team. Proper point guard stuff, as the breakaway yields two points from a brilliantly taken layup. Score: 14-8 to BITS. The crowd is now really into it.

1925 hrs

PEC seem to have got the idea that taking the direct long ball route is the way to go. Not working though...No wonder BITS began extending their lead after this strategy came to the fore.

And Maharashtra Mandal is here...in blue and black...at last hope for the cheerleading tribes.

1924 hrs

At the time of the first timeout(that rhymes, doesn't it?) 12-6 to BITS.

1923 hrs

Soumya - "Where is MAMA tonight?" Waiting for someone???

1921 hrs

The crowd is really off its usual vigorous cheering today. Though PR's basket has them off their seats and cheering "JEETEGA BHAI JEETAGA!!! BITS PILANI JEETEGA!!" Score: 10-6 to BITS...No make that 12-6.BITS on the move...

1919 hrs

Foul by PEC. A free throw to go along with the two points despite the foul. However, the throw is missed. Score: 8-6 to BITS. It seems to be a very even match, with both teams showing attacking and defensive abilities in equal measure. Brilliant drive to the basket by the PR although he is fouled.

1917 hrs

Cool moves by the BITS players...All those days of practicing together are paying off it seems. The slick passing moves are having the crowd on their feet, though the shooting seems to be a little off. Score: 6-6.

1916 hrs

The early cheers from the PEC crowd has got the BITS crowd started as well. Interesting rivalry between the two sets of cheerleaders. Though I must admit that the PEC guys aren't doing badly cheering their team, despite smaller numbers. Score: 6-4 to BITS

1914 hrs

And the match has begun...Manav sinks the first points for BITS...Current score 4-4...Enough to get the crowd started...
