Runs House Champions
Date:08/17/2016 Source:Chicago Stats League
The #15 seeded Shooters vs. one of the pre season favorites Runs House made for a great David vs. Goliath team storyline with both teams holding up their end of the bargain. Runs House started strong with Mike Fakuade swatting 5 of his 7 shots in the first half to set a strong precedent. This however, did not affect the Shooters, due to the fact they are Shooters. David Sachs proceeded to put the ...
Shooters Take Cinderella Run to Ship
Date:08/17/2016 Source:Chicago Stats League
In an unsung, over achiever matchup, the #11 seed Good D took on the Cinderella team themselves #15 seeded Shooters. Both teams overcame big odds that were against them to make it to this point in the Final 4. Good D jumped out to a 10 point halftime lead, looking like they had control of the game, when the Shooters got hot in the 3rd. Led behind Michael Travlos’ 25 points, the team that liv...
Runs House Battles LFG
Date:08/11/2016 Source:Chicago Stats League
In a matchup widely recognized as the 2 preseason favorites, LFG and Runs House did not disappoint. While LFG controlled the entire season and league with incredible ball movement and team balance, relying on knock down shooting, strong finishes, or team defense, whichever was needed, Runs House presented a tough element of physicality and athleticism they couldn’t seem to shake. LFG control...

LFG Over Pippen Ain't Easy
Date:07/26/2016 Source:Chicago Stats League
LFG keeps their 1st place seed and great season, holding off a late Pippen Ain’t Easy surge. Luke Fabrizius was unconscious in the 1st half, and played an all around All CSL game. His incredible stat line of 20 points 13 rebounds 4 blocks and 4 steals was huge, but doesn’t give credit to how well LFG plays together and feeds off another. 4 out of 6 LFG players were in double figures, a...
Lawrence Staves Off Welly
Date:07/26/2016 Source:Chicago Stats League
.Lawrence University was able to hold off Welly Classic in a back and forth defensive struggle. Lawrence seemed to have just a slight edge in energy, where Welly Classic was lacking. The game was up and down and after multiple lead changes in the first half Lawrence seemed to have an answer for every Welly run. Lawrence got major contributions from Ben Peterson who finished with game hig...
Big Red Bears Game Winner in OT
Date:07/26/2016 Source:Chicago Stats League
While Runs House has had a respectable season, they have lost all their games on come from behind victories from their opponents. In another case of that, the Big Red Bears, defending champions, earn their first victory of the season. Kevin Kucera is no stranger to CSL buzzer beaters, as his half court shot in last season’s Final 4 propelled his team to a Championship. This time it was a dag...
Good D Comes Back on Carthage
Date:07/26/2016 Source:Chicago Stats League
Carthage and Good D squared off in a battle that went to the wire in the 4th quarter. Carthage looked to have control the majority of the game, but the lack of bench and the fatigue seemed to catch up in the 4th quarter, where Good D ended the game 18-7 to complete the comeback. Mike Kjeldson’s 16 for Carthage would lead the team, but the poor 2nd half play and low shooting percentage ...
Kunkel Hoops Ballerz
Date:07/26/2016 Source:Chicago Stats League
Kunkels AllStars took out the Ballerz with great ball movement and lights out shooting. They shot 70% as a team and stifled the Ballerz offense, forcing to take a majority of long distance shots while they clogged the middle. Mike Bailey and David Kay tried to keep things close knocking down 9 three pointers between the two, but with nothing going on the inside, they couldn’t keep the game c...
Ballerz Hand LFG 1st Loss
Date:07/07/2016 Source:Chicago Stats League
The Ballerz hand LFG their first loss of the season in a physical contest. Rudy Meo made his debut for the Ballerz leading the team with energy and even keel attitude. He had 22 points and 12 rebounds in one of the premier match ups of the early season. LFG’s Alex Klupchak finished with his own game high 24 points on 5-11 3pt shooting, but Ondik and the Fabrizius brothers who are usually let...
Shooters Reign 3's On Carthage
Date:07/07/2016 Source:Chicago Stats League
Shooters pull off a big win against Carthage College in a game where they definitely lived up to their name. In a game where every shot seemed to look good, the Shooters were lights out as a team hitting 19-34 behind the arc. 5 players hit either 3 or 4 from three not including team captain David Sachs, who finished with a modest 12 points 8 assists and 6 boards. The ball movement was so seamless ...
Welly Drubs The Free Agents
Date:07/07/2016 Source:Chicago Stats League
Welly Classic has strung together back to back victories after dismantling the Free Agents. Samuelson again had a stellar night with 23 points 6 rebounds and 6 assists. This game was never in question as Welly jumped all over them hitting shots early, and more importantly gathering 10 team steals that left the Free Agent offense in disarray. Will Nicolaides finished with 23 points and 11 rebounds,...
Lake Forest Winners In OT
Date:07/07/2016 Source:Chicago Stats League
In an OT thriller that went back and forth, Lake Forest College just edged Kunkels AllStars 76-74. Ray Hunnicut led the efforts for Lake Forest with 24 points 7 rebounds and added 2 steals. He and Danny Sotos (25 points) were the focal point of the offense. They didn’t have much success deep, but in the mid range and paint, Lake Forest dominated. Kunkel had a little bit more balanc...
Good D Forces Bad Shots
Date:07/07/2016 Source:Chicago Stats League
In a big time comeback, Good D takes the first and last lead of the game over Fundamental U in the 4th quarter. In a game that was dominated by Fundamental U and big man Jimmy Martinelli, who finished with 14 points and 15 rebounds, they couldn’t close the deal late. The shot selection, and quick shots even with the lead towards the end of the game were questionable at best. They t...
Heart Squad Remain Perfect
Date:07/07/2016 Source:Chicago Stats League
Another strong performance by Brian Centella with 27 points leads Heart Squad to victory over the Big Red Bears. In the best 3-0 and 0-3 match up one can ask for, the Big Red Bears came firing, just did not have enough ammo. They shot 10-30 from deep led by Castagnetti with 21 points 6 rebounds and Kevin Kucera with 18 points 8 rebounds and 3 assists. While they seemed to settle for long shots, He...
Big Game Propels Pippen
Date:06/30/2016 Source:Chicago Stats League
In a game where neither team played particularly well, Pippen Ain’t Easy was able to barely hold on against Fundamental U. It would actually be more accurate to say Elliot Englemann held on, as he scored 39 of Pippen’s 61 points. He was unstoppable from all angles on the court, hitting 3’s, posting up, pulling up for mid range, the world was his. Pippen Ain’t Easy used his ...
Rochester Can't Stop LFG
Date:06/30/2016 Source:Chicago Stats League
LFG racks up another W after a game that was all over the place against the University of Rochester. Tucker Knox had a huge double double with 24 points and 13 rebounds for Rochester, and dominated the inside of the paint. Mike Mangan added a double double of his own as well, scoring 13 points and adding 10 assists, but he took 18 shots and dominated the ball much of the contest. In a game that wa...
House Runs Free Agents
Date:06/30/2016 Source:Chicago Stats League
Runs House dominated the Free Agents in all aspects. Open court steals that lead to dunks, stifling defense and their size just proved to be too much. The Free Agents who still are lacking consistency and good ball movement seemed to be deflated early, only to fight back in the 2nd half which would prove too little too late. Charles McKinney finished with 37, his 2nd 30+ game of the season, as wel...
Welly With Classic Upset Over Ballerz
Date:06/30/2016 Source:Chicago Stats League
Welly Classic earned its first win over arguably one of the best teams, the Ballerz. Ricky Samuelson wasn’t the focal point for the first time, although he did finish 2nd on the team with 15 points and 6 rebounds, but it was Will Nicolaides who scored 17 points and 7 rebounds. The early and especially late contributions of those two put the Ballerz away. Welly actually started the game with ...
Lawrence Survives Defending Champs
Date:06/30/2016 Source:Chicago Stats League
Lawrence University keeps their momentum with a tough victory over the Big Red Bears. They continue the balance on the offensive side, with an impressive 22 assists on 28 made field goals. Their tough defense stifled much of the Bears, except for Kevin Kucera, who was unstoppable finishing with 30 points 5 rebounds and 5 assists. This game was back and forth, but the Big Red Bears and Ku...
Heart Over Shooting
Date:06/30/2016 Source:Chicago Stats League
Heart Squad should think about changing their name to muscle squad. In a very even match they used their extra physical strength, especially in the post to get over the hump against the Shooters. Brian Centella scored 38 as he continues his tear during this summer season leading Heart Squad to a 3-0 start. Shooters hit timely shots to keep the game virtually even throughout; they just we...
Pippen Owns The Paint And Steals The House
Date:06/27/2016 Source:Chicago Stats League
Runs House again, held the lead, and controlled the game, this time to lose on a virtual buzzer beater. Pippen Ain’t Easy was relentless on the boards yet again, outrebounding their opponent by double digits for the 2nd time. These rebounds were huge, captained by Sam McLaurin who battled Fukuade, and anchored the team on both ends. He finished the game with 20 points and 12 rebou...
Kunkel Just Edges Out Welly
Date:06/27/2016 Source:Chicago Stats League
Ricky Samuelson put some more All Star numbers up for Welly Classic, but Kunkel just had too much for them in the 4th quarter. Juice Thompson made his debut for Kunkels AllStars, scoring 20 points and 7 assists on 80% shooting. He was the model of efficiency, and the team played very sound and unselfishly around him. This game was back and forth and hedged on every possession, as far as who had th...
Ballerz Smack Talk and Threes on Lawrence
Date:06/27/2016 Source:Chicago Stats League
In the game of the night the Ballerz and Lawrence University took a heated 52 all tie into the 4th. The Ballerz had been trailing for a majority of the game slightly, and finally were able to bring it even. David Kay and Darius Jones put the team on their back scoring 50 of the teams 72 points. Lawrence, while more balanced, and with more assisted makes, just couldn’t hit the big shots down ...
LFG Controls Throughout Against Bears
Date:06/27/2016 Source:Chicago Stats League
LFG picked up another big win as they held off the Big Red Bears run in the 4th quarter. The balance was great for LFG and they continued to drive and kick until they found the open shooter. LFG is taking a page out of the Warriors handbook, shooting 54 total 2PTFG and 53 total 3PTFG, but its working for them as well. They shot a modest 36% against the defending champs but seemed to hit a big 3 an...
Ugly Win For Rochester
Date:06/27/2016 Source:Chicago Stats League
The Free Agents again struggled to move the ball and find the basket, but were in striking distance the entire game. University of Rochester seemed uninspired, as they knew their talent would get them this victory. Tucker Knox, who probably should have gotten the ball more, scored 20 points and added 7 rebounds on 6-7 shooting, incredibly efficient. The Free Agents got a big contribution from Xzem...
Carthage Over Lake Forest
Date:06/27/2016 Source:Chicago Stats League
Carthage College, who was coming off a tough loss to Lawrence, made sure they had the balance they did not have in their opener. Seven out of their 9 players who suited up shot at least 6 times, with no players taking more than 10 shots total. Matt Acevado was one of the most efficient; scoring a team high 13 adding 3 rebounds and 2 assists. Meanwhile Lake Forest couldn’t get...
