Reeeebellllllls!

So I started listening to the game on the radio because, silly me, I didn't think to check Channel 67. Luckily my dad informed me it was on television, so I only caught the first 3 or 4 minutes on the radio. I was scratching down notes during the game of awesome things I needed to mention, but of course, they're not in any sort of order...

-Rene is a beast! And more importantly I LOVE IT. How about the steal he made? And then a few minutes later pounding the floor as the Aztec advanced toward him? He was all over the court (in a good way), stealing, and scoring, and blocking, and assisting. Anything good that happened, chances are Rene had some part of it. (Join the "Rene Rougeau is Michael Jordan" Facebook group!)

-Ummm Hi Corey Bailey! He's always been a sort of under-the-radar player, but that's not the case anymore, with his career high 15 point game.

-I adore alliteration, so Darger's Double Double is even more awesome. I can't believe we've had two double doubles in two games, that's insane!

-Did anyone else catch the sweet back-flipesque #32 of the Aztecs did toward the beginning of the game? I give it a 9.6 for it's gracefulness.

-I also enjoyed the 10 minute story from the announcers about Timmy (I think) the Guinea Pig. Or that Spain likes to sing Usher, and sang at a banquet. Awesome.

-As for the play of the game (according to the radio anyway), I'd have to say it was one hell of a play! Tied 69-69 with 38.8 seconds left after the time-out and Terry hits a 3! I'm pretty sure the neighbors heard my cheering on that one.

-Does San Diego really have the most expensive cab rides in the world? I'll have to google that one later.

-Oh, and anyone know what a bench warning is? The announcer couldn't say what it was either. Annnnyone at all?

-One of the announcers was saying that our guys are high school sized, and I do like when people say stuff like that. It just gives us something to prove. And today I certainly think we did!

-It was an amazing game to watch. I spent the last six minutes standing in my living room either yelling or flailing my arms around. That's a long time to flail.

We pulled it off in the end though, and now we're Number 1! Go Rebs!

a bench warning is when players not on the court are being too rowdy or talking trash or something of that nature. after the warning, the ref can give a technical foul to the bench, which isn't assigned to any one player, but the team in general.
