A new scoring system was installed into the four-on-four coed Veishea basketball tournament. A pool of 14 teams competed in the tournament that took place Tuesday night.

Two men and two women must be playing on each team at any given point in the game, while teams were allowed eight total players. Each basket made by a male player is only worth one point, while a basket made by a female player is worth two.

The same goes for 3-point field goals, as 3-pointers scored by males are worth only two points, while 3-pointers scored by females are worth the full three points.

This was done in an attempt to offset the males’ scoring, allowing them to drive into the lane more frequently all while getting the girls more involved strategically for 3-point and jump shot opportunities.

The championship game saw two teams physically exhausted from playing three 40-minute games each prior to the matchup.

The Toasters, headed by Logan Albaugh, faced the Double Pac’s, headed by sophomore Jeremy Batten.

Carly Martin, freshman in agriculture and communications, said that they were the Toasters because they were out to “toast the competition.” But the team’s style of play was no laughing matter.

From the beginning, the Toasters capitalized on a couple missed shots by the Double Pac’s, jumping out to a 7-3 lead soon after the action had started. But the Double Pac’s were no pushovers, having come back to draw within two points at halftime, only down by a score of 10-8.

“What we really wanted to do was come out and have fun and I think we all had a lot of fun even though we didn’t get much rest,” said Albaugh, sophomore in kinesiology and health. “We’re all pretty exhausted.”

The second half wasn’t any better for the Double Pac’s, who had one more substitute than the Toasters.

The Double Pac’s managed to tie the score at 13-13 shortly after they resumed play, but the persistent Toasters continued their dominance to run away with the 26-20 victory.

“We were tired but so were they so it didn’t really matter,” said Martin, who had eight points. “We were all kind of evenly tired.”
