The most unique thing about intramurals is how seriously the players, men and women alike, take it. They all take pride in winning and sorrow in losing. The words of intramural basketball are displayed across the jerseys provided for them. This means a great deal to them. Stretching and warming up is done with concentration, as it is done in the pros.
Some teams even get together for practice to hone their collective skills.
3-pointers and tension are all included. If a player hits a game-winning shot, that means a great deal. The bond the men and women form with others is strong. To let them down is a big deal. Fortunately for the players and administrators of intramural basketball, many of the teams are very evenly matched.
