Despite top scorer Kupp, Chapel Bulls fall to Bull Chips in 104-103 squeaker

Cooper Kupp racked up 28 points for Chapel Bulls, the best total in the matchup and seventh-best in the league this week, but it wasn't enough to overcome Bull Chips, who eked out a 104-103 victory. It wasn't nearly as close as the final score indicates, as Bull Chips led 104-72 heading into Sunday night. Chapel Bulls closed the gap behind Patrick Mahomes (26 points) and Harrison Butker (5). Jalen Hurts (21 points) and Mike Evans (19) led the way for Bull Chips in the win. Bull Chips (1-1) will look to earn another W against Chico's Bail Bonds, while Chapel Bulls (0-2) will face Laces Out Dan! in an effort to get some positive momentum.

Coach Talk

Bull Chips
Hey, it's good to be confident, Bull Chips. Deploying a starter with zero points (Jason Sanders), while still getting the win... talk about arrogant! All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Do it when the playoffs roll around, and we'll be done.
Chapel Bulls
Chin up, Chapel Bulls! Look, we've been at it long enough to realize that occasionally an extra point will just miraculously appear out of thin air... and then in some cases, like this week, it won't! In the grand scheme of things, the most important thing is that you tried.
