The Game: The match got off to a bumpy start, as host Jim Jaggers grabbed the Lightning Round questions instead of the toss-up batch. Whoops. The teams then settled in as it began proper, the contest remained within striking distance until the Lightning Round proper, when SBEC went great guns on the buzzers.
Trigger-happy is the way to be in the final round. Teamwork is the stuff of the first two rounds. But the Lightning Round is for showboating — in athletics terms, it’s when it’s okay for Lebron James to just grab the ball and put the team on his back and take over a game. And, for SBEC, they were all prepared to be Lebron. Every team member answered correctly in the third frame, with Rob getting 5 of 6 correct. As a team of one-on-one open-court players, they collected 10 correct out of 17 attempted.
Stat of the Week: SBEC rang in early 10 times in the match — and only missed one. Dynamite.
