Gaiters Defeat Lyndon St. to Finish Pre-season

Friday at  Lyndon St.  

BU     32     43  -  75
LSC   31     37  -  68

I would not  classify this as  one of  our most  spirited  efforts of the season. However, we did manage to get a win on the road which is seldom a bad thing.  Lyndon St.  played  very hard and we  did not respond  well. We missed  10 first half  free throws which does not  include  missing the front end of a couple  of 1 & 1 bonus situations which really means  we missed 12! We did not shoot much better from the 3 point line either.

We did manage to make 16-22 free throws in the 2nd half and  build  a double digit lead before Lyndon made some late  3's to make it interesting. Onnex Blackwood had 21 points while  Mike Andrews added 18 points & 15 rebounds against a much smaller LSC team. Scott Ring had a very efficient 15 points while shooting only 5 shots.

The 'real' games start Saturday at UQAM, game time is  7 pm. We have finished the pre-season at  7-3, but that does not matter now as league play is literally a brand new season and what you did in October counts for nothing. Every league game will be a battle and the team that has the best focus is likely to be the victor on that night!

Hope to see a few of  you out at UQAM on Saturday night!
