It is pretty evident looking at the line score where our problem occurred! We were not exactly stellar in the 1st, 2nd or 4th quarters, but we struggled in the 3rd quarter. It seemed terrible when it was happening...and it was! However, it really was a matter of us missing some good shoots. We had good scoring opportunities on about 11 or 12 of our 18 offensive possessions in the 3rd quarter with 3 turnovers and 3 poor shot selections. We missed our last 10 shots of the quarter and at least 8 of them were decent quality looks.

We did manage to mount a comeback with about 7 or 8 minutes to go. We made some of the shots we missed in the previous quarter and narrowed the lead to 5 a few times. As a matter of fact it was a 5 point game with 1:45 left to go. Laval closed out the game well and they deserved the victory. We gave up 30 points off of turnovers and we did not rebound the ball well at all. Those were easily the

Owen Martel

key factors in our loss. Hoping to cut our turnovers down this week and expect to be doing a lot more substituting if we don't!

There is not much to report on with regards to fine individual performances. Dave was solid with 12 points and 8 rebounds. Freshman guard Alex Boisse is continually improving and sophomore forwards Owen Martel & Yassin Naji are coming along nicely.

This Saturday we host McGill to close out the 1st Semester. McGill is ranked #8 in the country and is the team to beat in our league as the defending champs.

The games on Saturday will be played at 2 & 4. It is a special day at BU as former BU star basketball players Cynthia Johnston & Trevor Bennett along with legendary BU Athletic Therapist Steve King all get inducted into the BU Royal Bank Wall of Distinction. There will be a reception following the game in the Sports Centre. There are still a few places left for friends/alumni of BU basketball who are interested in attending. Please contact me if would like to reserve a spot.

I will keep you posted,
