The Professor find way to knock off Aish's Team in 105.60-103.04 battle

Mike Evans (21.7 points) and Will Fuller V (19.8) were the top scorers for The Professor in the win. The Professor (2-2) will look to add to their success against Mike's Grand Team, while Aish's Team (2-2) will take on Landen's Legit Team in an effort to right the ship.

Coach Talk

The Professor
Well The Professor, the good news is that we took this matchup by 2.56 points. The *even better* news is that we know we're stronger than this... in fact, our team's scoring average through Week 3 stood at 122.02. So yes, we're happy to have earned this victory, but let's also get back up to where we know we can be!
Aish's Team
Look, we've been at it long enough to know that every once in a while, three extra points will just magically fall right into your lap... and then sometimes, like in your matchup this week, they won't! In the grand scheme of things, the most important thing is that you tried. Keep pushing forward, Aish's Team!
