Holiday Games @ Ryerson

December 28th vs. Mohawk College @ Ryerson

BU       25    25    23    25  -  98
MC      24    26    23    26  -  99

Well this was a classic game of 2 teams who did not play defense. We got whatever we wanted offensively and they have some offensively talented guys who really put on some impressive individual performances. Mohawk showed why many think that they are a strong contender to win a CCAA championship this year, but it would have been nice if we could have had a better defensive performance.

As you can tell by the line score the game was close throughout. Each team scored on all of their final 3 possessions of the game. Just worked out that Mohawk had the last shot and scored  a pull-up jumper with 3 seconds to go for the win. 

We had multiple players score in double figures, but we did not have any strong defensive performances to speak of.

December 29th vs. #3  Ryerson

RU      20   24   31  22  -  97

December 30th vs. #3 Ryerson

BU     15   12   14   16  -  57
RU     16   31   26   25  -  98

Ryerson is the #3 ranked team in the CIS and rightly so. They finished the 1st semester with a couple decisive losses to #1 Carleton  & #2 Ottawa. Everyone expected those games to be closer and I would bet the coaches really had their players attention for the month of December! They were very impressive in both the games we played and simply put, we got kicked. I cannot imagine them playing much better and I can only hope we will learn from this.

We played well in the 1st quarter in both games, but that does not count for much. We did not have great individually performances to speak of in either game.

Really want to thank the friends, family and alumni who came out to support us in Toronto. Your support as always is appreciated.


Thursday we are at McGill to face the Redmen at 8pm. On Saturday we play our first home game of the year on the Bishop's campus somewhere...don't know what gym we will be playing in! Don't ask me anything about our Sports Centre as I won't have the answer...unfortunately!! (insert sigh here)

Happy New Year and I hope to see you at our games in the next 10 weeks!
