9th Century Embarassed by Dominant 16th

The game was over before it began. After a week where Luther, Calvin, and Erasmus provided a slew of condescending bulletin-board material to the underdog 9th century, the heavily favored 16th century came through on their boast behind Luther’s 20/20 effort, destroying their foes 90-55.

“We spent the week utterly ignoring our opponents’ taunts, preferring to spend our days in solitude and study rather than engaging in a war of words. Perhaps we should have tried to harness those taunts rather than ignoring them,” explained John Scotus Eriugena.

Luther continued his attacks after the game, declaring that the team of a depraved conference did not deserve to be victorious. His play on the floor certainly backed him up. Even against double and triple teams he was unstoppable, dunking at will and gathering in almost every rebound that came his way. He also stayed out of foul trouble, a key for the 16th century against any opponent.

“I knew the entire week that we could not lose,” declared Calvin, who ended with 15 points and 4 blocks. The stars certainly seemed to be aligned in his team's favor, as they jumped out to a 10-point lead in the first four minutes of the game and never looked back. By the half, the 16th century was up 50 to 25. Charles V kept his star players on the court well into the second half, a move that will undoubtedly bring a lot of blame upon him from the media as being unsportsman-like. The 16th century could care less, however, as long as they continue to dominate other teams like they did tonight.
