X drops decision to SMU at home

Join the booster club!

In game that the X-Men led from the opening minute, the Blue and White dropped a decision to visiting St Mary's Huskies by a score of 77-74.  The X-Men made it look easy in the early going scoring in bunches in transition and building leads into the low double digits.  X led all the way in the first half, although SMU was able to get close on a couple occasions.  X had a mini run to end the first half to build a 8 point lead at the half, 37-29. 

X started the second half strongly and built leads of 12-14 points.  However, the Huskies got hot from three point range, led by former Acadia Axeman Clint Bateman (20 points)  who got a number of open looks and converted on 3 '3s' in the second half.  At the same time, X became listless offensively and committed numerous turnovers.  With about 3 minutes to play, SMU tied things up.  X had its chances to win the game, but with 25 seconds left and X down one, X forced a pass inside to a double teamed Neil MacDonald (who carried the X-Men offensively all night) which resulted in a turnover.  X subsequently fouled Mark Ross, who sank 2 free throws to put the Huskies up 3 with 7 seconds to play.  A last second '3' attempt by Tyler Richards came up short and the visitors took the 'W'. 

Neil MacDonald led X with 23 points, 10 rebounds and a block.  Garry Gallimore had 15 while Tyler Richards had a quiet  12 to go with 6 assists.  Dwayne Johnson was effective as a starter and chipped in 10 points, 5 boards and 3 steals.  X plays next back at Acadia on Jan 26 at 8PM.  This contest was web cast live - the archived game will be available from the web site within the next couple of days.
