An 18-5 second half run from Team FOE helped them squeak past the upset-minded Sideline Cancer team 82-75 Sunday afternoon in The Basketball Tournament.
It took five different players scoring in double figures from Team Foe to beat the #12 seed. Led by Vincent Simpson coming off the bench who had 15 points, Team FOE picked up its first half shooting percentage by almost 20% in the second period of play, outscoring Sideline Cancer 44-35 in the second half.
Sideline Cancer found themselves in the opposite position by half. They shot almost 50% in the first half, but saw that percentage dwindle down to 36% as Team FOE’s defensive intensity picked up.
