Balls of Fury
Getty Images photographer Streeter Lecka wins his round.
During the NCAA men’s final four weekend there is always one off day between Saturdays’s semi-final and Monday’s final game.
Typically, the Getty Images crew heads to the local bowling alley for some afternoon bowling. However, after figuring out that there were two ping pong tables by the pool at the Marriott, it just seemed to perfect to pass up.

Myself, Brandon Lopez, Streeter Lecka and Jamie Squire (Getty Images staffer who was shooting for ESPN The Mag) headed down to the tables.
Brandon Lopez (director of photography at Getty Images) returns a serve.
Not one to lose a game of ping pong I send it back to Brandon.
Victory!
The consensus among the crew was none of us had played pong for years (beer pong not included) but we all knew what we were doing, so to speak.
Jamie Squire falls in defeat.
I think we were all trying to hustle each other. The play was quite stellar and we even got some passerby’s (I mean fans) stopping to watch us play.
Streeter Lecka celebrates his win.
Some six hours later after some amazing points, bruised egos and strong play we finally ended. We never did crown an official champion but there is always next year. What else are we going to be doing in Detroit?
