#16 Houston enjoyed a victory inside 8 rounds against the visiting
#14 Ohio State The team managers provided more entertainment than the game when at the end of the first quarter Ohio State team coach Wendt100 confronted Houston coach Wrexham - both coaches had to be pulled apart as the partisan home crowd bayed for blood.
Houston coach Wrexham speaking with College hoops radio reporter George W Bush after the game had this to say about the incident.
Given the position of our 2 castles on the feudal pitch we were able to unite them both early on, this provided us with opportunity to spearhead our attack against the opposition.
The foggy condition meant that we had to wait until the opposition showed up before hitting them with the spearhead.
Our tactics worked a treat as Ohio State appeared for the battle with much less ammunition than ourselfs, they captured our castle but exhausted themselfs in the process leaving my players the easy task of retaking the castle, moving our numbers there and cleaning up the game.
But as soon as our tactics became clear to the other team, their coach confronted me on the side line saying
this is a game for people who have no true statagie and rely on luck!
I said, I didn't agree and that my tactics were obviously working!
But Wendt responded saying
No this is for people who can not master risk and need gimmicks to win.
Thats when I got angry and we had to be pulled apart, said Wrexham.
When I asked what gimmicks were being refered to Wendt responded saying
the board and deployment.
In conclusion Wrexham added, at the end of the game Wendt did congratulate us on our win and we wish their team well in the rest of the tournament, but I have to say i would have had more respect for their comments had they talked about the conditions before it became clear the game was not going their way.
