RSEQ Week #3

Saturday at Concordia

BU                   15       27       17       32   -   91
CU                   22       27       27       29   -   105

A bit of a up tempo game that led to A LOT of points being scored. Concordia had a very good week winning at McGill on Thursday. They played at a high level in both games and definitely deserved the win on Saturday.

We have given up a lot of points at times this year, but we do play at a high pace. Our defensive rating has been pretty good when you look at points per possession and our opponents FG %. However, we were not strong on Saturday and we have to get back to improving fundamentals in some very simple, but key areas. 

Another terrific game from Sr. Kevin Davis
About the game, Concordia had a good start and we just hung on in the first quarter.  We were better in the 2nd quarter, but fouled any time we were making headway. The 3rd quarter, where we have been solid this season, was our undoing. We gave up 9 points in the first 4 possessions and allowed Concordia to build a lead as large as 19 points.

In the 4th we started to get things together mounting a comeback to cut the lead to 4 with 2 minutes to go. Concordia made a couple of key shots, we missed and fouled, but they made free throws to put the game away.

Kevin had an outstanding 2nd half scoring 19 of his 26 points after the break. He also had 7 rebounds and 5 steals. Abdul matched Kevin with 26 points. Really missed Joany & Zion in this game. Their defensive presence would have helped.


Big week as we head Laval on Thursday and then host McGill to end the semester.  

I will keep you posted.
