Gaiters Hold Serve at Home

Wednesday vs. Laval

BU        19   19   16   15  -  69
UL         4    14   16   19  -  53

We were able to hold serve in our 'match' (inside joke directed at a 'football guy'...of course!) vs. Laval and keep pace with McGill for 1st place. We sit a half a game ahead of McGill and a win at McGill on Saturday would clinch 1st place and home court advantage through the playoffs. I feel we are very capable of winning on the road in the playoffs, but we will be very tough to beat at home!

'Big Mike' Andrews

As you can see by the line score we had a strong 1st quarter. Defensively we were solid and did most things pretty well. Big Mike was dominant in the first half scoring 15 points. He really has developed into a quality player who is can be very challenging to stop on the low block or on rim runs in transition. Scary to think how good he can be with 2 years remaining because he really has only scratched the surface of his potential.

Throughout the game we were able to play a deep bench with 10 players seeing action in the 1st half and 12 guys seeing action before the game was over. We maintained a comfortable lead throughout the 2nd half and were able to sub out 5th year Sr Tim Hunter with a minute to go for an ovation in his final home regular season game.

Big Mike led all scorers with 21 points & 9 rebounds to go with 2 blocks...he also leads the CIS in blocked shots. Jeremy continues to shoot the ball well as he was 5-6 from the 3 point line scoring 15 points. He has been very solid lately and we need that to continue...nice to see his game mature. Freshman Jona Bermillo continues to shine in his starting role (replacing injured Onnex Blackwood...still out with an ankle!) as he scored  10 points and did a nice job playing both guard positions. Tim, Scott & Matt continue to produce in various ways each game even if they are not scoring...the stability they provide has created very good consistency in our game.

Saturday we travel to McGill to play for 1st place. Could not  ask for anything more at this point.
