Gaiters Topped By Laval

Saturday vs. Laval

BU          27    23     5    21   -   76
UL          17    24    17   25   -   83

We had an opportunity to show how good we can be and how young we can be at times in this game. We shot 70% from the floor in the first half and had a 20 point lead at one point. However, we had 18

turnovers in the 1st half and 13 in the 3rd quarter! So despite shooting 48% from the floor and out-rebounding Laval 41-28 we lost because we did not take care of the ball.

We had some careless 1st quarter turnovers that we recovered from, but the wheels started to fall off in the final 5 minutes of the 2nd quarter and the 3rd quarter. However, despite having committed 31 turnovers in the first 3 quarters we were still only down 3 heading into the 4th. Unfortunately Laval had seized control of the momentum and we did not show that we have what it takes YET to recover from that. A lot of freshmen moments, but a lot of positives and much to learn from this.

Pete scored 19 points which was tops for us. Abdul & Jona had 15 & 14 respectively. Dave had 11 points, as did freshman Duncan Lambert. Duncan has been solid all year in practice and is earning more court time each game.

Saturday we close out the 1st semester at Concordia before our guys start final exams next week. The games are in the afternoon with the women playing @ 2:00 and the men playing @ 4:00. Hope to see you there!
