Thursday at Laval
BU 17 12 19 21
- 69
UL 20 19 20 22
- 81
We continued to struggle as we came out of the weekend with 2
losses making it 3 losses in a row for the first time this season. Our league is very tight top to bottom and
if you don’t play well you can expect to lose.
The last time we played Laval it was a wide open game with
lots of transition. Both teams did a much better job slowing each other down,
but the difference was that Laval was more efficient in the half court with
some bench players doing a nice job offensively.
In neither game this weekend did we ever get into much of an
offensive flow. The break comes a good time as we really need to get back to
some basics on both sides of the ball.
Kevin and Nervens each had 16 points to lead us in scoring.
We got Joany back in the line-up this weekend, but he was not as effective
after 3 weeks off with a calf injury.
Saturday vs.
McGill
BU 15 13 14 14 - 56
MU 20
8 17 23 - 68
We played about 30+ minutes of the best defense we had
played in a while despite 1 day prep for McGill. They jumped out to a quick
10-0 lead in the first 2 minutes. We then defended pretty well until the final 6
minutes of the game…then we just stopped doing the things we had done well.
We did dominate the glass outrebounding McGill 53-37, but 25
turnovers against a team that was not pressing or trapping us was our undoing.
Like I said, we have some things to clean up and December will be good for
that.
Nervens had 16 points again. Kevin, Abdul & Joany each
added 10. Rookie Emile Babin had a nice game off the bench with 10 rebounds.
That ends our games til after Christmas which gives us chance to lick our wounds and regroup. We sit at 3-3 in league play which is the
middle of the pack. Not much separates the top from the bottom of our league
and it should all be pretty interesting in the 2nd half of the
season!
I hope everyone has a happy and safe holiday season!
