tears only run one way

we lost our first game in a heart-breaker, 57-30. i was 1-4 from behind the arc, with 2 rebounds, 0 assists and 5 turnovers. the rest of the cobra kai squad wasn't much better. we were down 23-9 at halftime, and after 20 minutes of running up and down the court, several players, including myself, were panting, coughing, and doubled-over in pain. the second half wasn't much better. we did well just to get a shot off, especially if it hit the rim. we might've had 40+ turnovers, and i'm not sure we ever got an offensive rebound. by the end of the game, the other team was running circles around us, making one lay-up after another. my brother's legs buckled underneath him twice in the last few minutes, and the other team called a time out with 5 seconds to play so they could score on us one more time. i was devastated, and coach K could do nothing to console me.

Did they start chanting: "ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK KU" toward the end of the first five minutes? Great post...
