BU 15 11 12 24 - 61
UQAM 24 10 17 18 - 70
After a good first 5 minutes UQAM dominated the next 25 minutes. Having things go our way early in the game only gave our guys a false sense of confidence. We were feeling too good about how we played last weekend and UQAM was coming with with something to prove after getting blown out twice by McGill. UQAM is more talented than people give them credit for, but more importantly they play hard and together. That was pretty much the whole weekend in a nutshell. They just played harder and were more cohesive. Full marks to them.
In the 4th quarter of this game we did reduce a 20 point deficit to 5 between the 7 minute mark and the 1 minute mark. However, the we paid a price the next night for having put forth such a sustained extreme effort with a short bench right now.
Saturday at UQAM
BU 11 20 20 28 - 79
UQAM 18 24 29 27 - 98
This is about double the number of points that is usually scored in a game in our league...only slightly exaggerated! We got smacked on the glass almost 2 to 1 and got outcompeted like had not happened in any game this year. There is simply not that much to report on this game. We missed some good shots early and could not find a rhythm. There were opportunities to make a run in the 2nd quarter, but could capitalize offensively. Then in the 2nd half when we were scoring we could not get a stop when we needed it.
All in all, a disappointing weekend and we did not do ourselves any favours with regards to a playoff position. However, strange things have been happening in our league all year. You just never know what is going to happen from one week to the next.
This Thursday we play at Concordia. We host them on Saturday and we definitely will have to get things together this week if we are going to have any success against them.
I will keep you posted.
