Junior High Girls Game Breaks Out During an Altantic 10 Game

Can you make a jumper? We really could use some help

George Washington and St. Louis squared off in an Atlantic 10 game last night and to say it was a rough one for the Billikens is like saying Custer had a rough night at Little Bighorn. St. Louis came into the game averaging nearly 60 points per game and missed that mark by 40, losing 49-20. When the local newspaper lists every point your team scored in the game and the list isn't very long, it might be time to rethink what you're doing.

Champ and I were teammates on a pretty horrible high school team way back in the day (we were part of the problem) and we managed to lose a game by 50, but at least our team scored 65 points that night. Scoring 20 points is beyond belief - I mean even the SU football team managed to crack the 20 point mark a few times this season. On Tuesday, Courtney Galuski, a women's high school basketball player at a school near Albany managed to make 15 3's in one game.

New St. Louis Coach Rick Majerus handled the loss with a lot of dignity and class and I give him credit, especially since that's not something I'm about to do. I've compiled some possible reasons why the Billikens were only able to muster 20 points against an opponent that has a losing record this year:

- It was too windy in the arena
- Majerus ate the playbook
- GW pulled the classic gag of putting Icy Hot in the Billiken's jock straps
- Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to hire Dennis Rodman as a shooting coach
- The team was distracted by Jennifer Simpson rooting them on
- The B-12 and lidocaine that Brian McNamee injected them with threw them off
- Every St. Louis player was trying to impress Isiah Thomas
