X picks up a huge 82-72 road win at Acadia

Join the booster club!

From Mark Wacyk's CIS Blog

The X-men came back from a 4 point halftime deficit by shooting 62% after the intermission as Tyler Richards led the way with 22 points before a full house of 1,500 in Wolfville. X got a huge lift from the bench, especially in the first half when starters Garry Gallimore, Dwayne Johnson and Christian "T-Bear" Upshaw all went to the bench with fouls as 5'9" fiery sparkplug Will Silver had 7 points including a 3 to offset a 19 point first-half performance by Acadia's Paolo Santana. Coach Steve Konchalski started a smaller lineup, inserting 6'4" Johnson into the starting 5 and bringing former starter 6'6" Terrance Taylor off the bench and the move worked as Taylor contributed 9 points in 18 minutes. But the key to the game was a second half surge led by Upshaw (19 points/5 assists), who dominated the freshman point guard matchup with Andrew Kraus by getting free in transition for easy scores and finding cutters with crafty looks. When it mattered, 6'10" Neil McDonald was money inside, finishing with another double/double (19 points/10 rebounds/3 blocks) while playing all 40 minutes. Peter Leighton went 4-8 from 3 to finish with 12 points for the Axemen, who shot only 36% for the game while 6'4" Luckern Dieu had 13 points/9 rebounds and 6'8" center Achuil Lual had an 11-point, 10-rebound double/double. X hosts St.Mary's on Saturday in Antigonish while Acadia doesn't play again until they host X again a week from Saturday.
