FRIDLEY: Noisy Withdrawl drops critical game to Ninja Turtles to drop to 5-3 | Bubble Burst?
Ryan Jansen and the Ninja Turtles upset the Noisy Withdrawl on Thirsday night
Fridley, MN - The "every game is critical" statement is often a tired cliche that gets used in sports. But for Ultimate Hoops teams battling in a competitive 8-week season, the statement could never be more true.
Fridley's Noisy Withdrawl was coming into Thursday night's game against the lowly 1-5 Ninja Turtles with a playoff solid 5-2 record, assumingly safe from being a marked a "bubble team."
Oh, how quickly things can change in Ultimate Hoops.
Noisy Withdrawl were easily handled by the once mighty Ninja Turtles 67-54 on Thursday night, seriously hurting their playoff chances. Multiple All-Star Ryan Jansen led the Ninja Turtles with 20 points, six rebounds and five assists. Greg Regenscheid also added 14 points and 15 rebounds.
Noisy Withdrawl shot just 30% from the field including a dismal 3-of-20 from behinf the three-point line.
Will the loss to the Ninja Turtles end Noisy Withdrawl's season? With four teams ahead of them in the standings, did their post-season bubble burst?
