UNB 52 vs SMU 88 – Friday Oct. 29 6:00 p.m. Antigonish
UNB STATS:
Daniel Quirion (Moncton, NB) 11points
Alex DesRoches (Dieppe, NB) 12 rebounds
Coach's Comments: St. Mary’s totally owned this contest as our squad did not
compete for first 20 minutes of this contest. The half time score was 47-18. If you don’t pay attention to history it’s bound to repeat it self. We won two games at the Garland last year and got complacent only to get shelled by St. Mary’s in the first game of the tournament last year. As much as you try to address this issue during practice leading up to the tournament until they get kicked in the teeth with reality no real learning takes place. Hopefully, having our pride handed to us on a platter definitely gave our players a reality check with regard to our mental preparation.
UNB 79 vs UPEI 75 Saturday Oct.30 6:00 p.m. Antigonish
STATS:
William McFee (Northbridge, Australia) 18 pts & Tournament All Star
Lonzel Lowe (Brampton, ON) 12 points 7 rebounds
Antwann Parks (Queens, NY) 12pts
Jason Rouse (Fredericton, NB) 10pts
Coach's Comments: It was a good bounce back victory leading into league play in two weeks time. Will McFee was inserted into the staring line to bring some defensive intensity and scoring. He responded with 18 points and a number key drawn charges in the second quarter. Antwann Parks gave solid minutes off the bench with a big 3 pointer
and 5-5 from the free throw line down the stretch. The squad will get healthy as the team prepares for the crucial start to the season when MUN comes to town for a
doubleheader Nov. 13 &14.
UNB Team Record: League 0– 0 Exhibition 5–6 Overall 5-6
Next-Up: The Reds start league play with a home stand doubleheader vs Memorial. Nov. 13th 8:00 p.m. and Sunday Nov. 14 at 1:00 p.m.
