Navy Clippers Best Sigma Chi, 39-36
The Navy Clippers came from behind last night to nose out Sigma Chi 39 to 36 and thereby earned a berth in the championship intramural basketball playoffs which start Thursday night.
The Sigma Chi's held a 23 to 8 advantage at half time, and it looked like a rout. But the Clippers came to life in the third quarter and narrowed the count to 30-26 at the end of the quarter. The Sigma Chi's maintained this four point margin until midway in the final quarter, but the Clippers displayed beautiful rebounding and ball handling to gain the lead with two minutes left to play. The Clippers kept possession of the ball the rest of the game, and the Sigma Chi's didn't get a chance to regain the lead.
Raber, Clipper forward, was high point man with 17 points. Connelly, Sigma Chi forward and top scorer in league play, was held to 11 points by Bowley, Clipper forward, who also scored 11 points. Kucenski controlled the rebounds for the Clippers and played a brilliant defensive game.
Drawings for the championship playoff games will be held today. The six teams who will compete for the title are Phi Delta Theta, Navy Clippers, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Sigma Nu, Little Phogs, and Beta Theta Pi.
