Gaiters Give Concordia Early Christmas Gift

Saturday vs. Concordia

BU      19    16    23    18   -   76
CU      15    23    16    23   -   77

After playing very well for  39 minutes and 37 seconds we helped facilitate a monumental comeback by Concordia to lose by 1 point. With 23 seconds to go we were up 7 points. However, going 3-6 from the line in the final (we were 17-18 for the game before that!) minute combined with a couple of needless fouls, some tough hoops by Concordia and a turnover with 7 seconds left we found ourselves on the wrong end of a game we most certainly should have won. We beat Concordia on Saturday night, but we did not win the game...none of us take any satisfaction out of that. Despite what the non-believers might think this is not the same team as in the past and we don't expect & won't falter after a good pre-season.

Mike Andrews

A good effort was wasted as we did not get the victory. It taints a fantastic performance by 3rd year post Mike Andrews. Big Mike scored 28 points, grabbed 11 rebounds and swatted 6 Concordia shots while altering many more. Mike has really started to come into his own this year and we are hoping this break out is a sign of things to come. Onnex & Jeremy each added 12 & 10 points respectively while, but I would not say we had better than average performances overall from the core of our team. Still room for improvement and our guys are expecting a lot more from themselves.

This Saturday we host an offensively talented team in Laval. Laval has struggled vs. Concordia and McGill, but has the ability to win a lot of games in our league.

I will keep you posted!
