It seemed like The Franchise couldn’t miss during its 68-60 victory against Phi Slamma Jamma on Tuesday night at the Student Recreation and Fitness Center.

The Franchise will move on to the second round of the men’s open intramural basketball playoffs.

The Franchise relied on three-point shots for all of its points during the first half.

Shelby Scholz, Atchison senior, and graduate students Matt Wolff, Herington; Nathan Mast, Champaign, Ill.; and Justin Bauman, Canton, Ill.; all hit multiple three-point shots in the first half.

“They played really well and were tough to beat because they were shooting so well,” Phi Slamma Jamma’s Clark Grisell, Garden City senior said.

The Franchise consistently used screens and a zone defense. The team was made of student managers from the Kansas men’s and women’s basketball teams.
