The Price is Right has moved to 5-0 despite losing Coach Jason Hunter to a sprained right MCL and other members to oversea contracts.
The good guys downed Wacky Waver 41-35 on January 6th, but lost Coach Hunter in the process.
The report from the team doctors indicate that he has a sprain of the MCL ligament on his right knee. He missed this past Mondays game and will likely sit out the following game as well, if only for precautionary reasons.
The teams shooting woes continue to be an issue, although they are winning. The PiR has only made 9 three pointers, three coming in each consectutive game, the past three games combining for a 9 of 54 streak. The team is only shooting 26% from beyond the arc this season.
"It's an issue, in a way," Brandon Hunter said after the 63-55 win this past week against NBN #2, "but we are winning. So you take the good with the bad right now...but we have to turn that around."
The PiR are shooting better from everywhere else. A 46% field goal percentage and a 67% free throw percentage, though not ideal, have helped them win a handful of games. Brandon Hunter took 15 free throws alone during the past game, hitting 12 of them.
The Price is Right will continue playing games, though the roster is limited. We have already mentioned Jason Hunter's injury, and the team was again with Rob Cruise as he continues his play overseas. Kyle Komer was out as well and will miss the next two games of January as his overseas play begins to pick up. Ryan Stuver was also out this past week with an illness.
The team went back to a familiar face in Johno Reminder on a 10 day contract. He played the entirety of this past game (10 points, 6 rebounds) and will likely be a part of the rotation next week as well.
The Price is Right are banged up and low on numbers, but continue to find ways to win.
Lets hope that line continues.
