With the score 20-17, freshman-dominated Stinky Pinky and the Shockers lost the game and one of their key players to Candy Rain.
Stinky's Mike Pykosz was taken off the court for an ankle injury in the game and they had to finish the game one man down.
"I thought it was a good game," said Candy Rain's Zack Sackley. "It's too bad they had to lose their fifth guy. It was a good battle."
The game was also stopped earlier when Candy Rain's Van Giles broke his nose.
"We came through at the end," said Sackley. "You gotta give them credit though."
"One broken nose, one broken ankle, and five hard core guys," Giles said.
When we saw that it was a winnable game, it's just frustrating to let it slip away like that, but we'll be back," said Stinky Pinky's Josh Wimmer.
Please Call us Bosephus beat Da Booty 21-16, and are focusing on the next round of bookstore to show what they're really made of.
"We didn't play up to our full potential, I think we need to pass the ball better, but it's good to get a win in bookstore," said Bosephus' Brian Ostick.
Please Call us Bosephus is anxious to take on the high-seeded competition coming up.
"This is only the second real game we've had. We're ready for a big team to come along, I don't think there's anyone we can't beat," said Bosephus' Pat O'Brien.
Strategery, made up of sophomores John Joyce, Jeff " Shaggy" Wiltrout, John Barnes, and Joey Hickey, beat Gang Green 21-18, taking control early and never letting it go.
"We've played together a lot, so we know when to give each other the ball," said Barnes.
Hickey's family was there to cheer Strategery past Gang Green.
"I said they wouldn't get past 64," said Hickey's dad, who graduated from Notre Dame in 1979. "My team never did."
