MONTREAL – The Bishop's Gaiters men's basketball team bounces back from two straight losses with a big win over the UQAM Citadins, winning by a final score of 87-71 on Thursday night.
How It Happened
For the third game in a row the Gaiters got off to a slow start and found themselves behind early, trailing 24-16 after the first quarter. Bishop's would respond with a great second quarter and found themselves in front by one point at halftime, due in large part to
Abdul Kamane's (Montreal, Que./Vanier College) 16 first half points to lead the Gaiters. The third quarter was a back and forth one, with no team able to grab control of the game but the Gaiters would hold onto a 61-59 lead heading into the final ten minutes. It would be all Bishop's from there as they outscored the Citadins 26-12 in the final quarter giving the Gaiters an 87-71 victory.
With the win, the Gaiters improve to 3-5 in RSEQ and jump back into fourth place, one game clear of Laval for the last playoff spot.
Next Up
The Gaiters are back in action this weekend as they host UQAM in the second half of the home-and-home series on Saturday night. Opening tip in Mitchell Gym is set for 8 p.m.
