缅北强奸

By Earl Zukerman

MONTREAL 鈥� Senior Sean Anthony of Vancouver, B.C., scored 31 points for 缅北强奸 but league MVP Damian Buckley counter-punched with 32 as visiting Concordia rallied to win 94-89 in overtime before 490 hoops fans Love Competition Hall, Friday.

Buckley鈥檚 older brother Damian knocked down a three-pointer with 0.5 seconds remaining in regulation time to tie the score at 76-76 and force the extra period.

In a game that featured 13 lead changes, 缅北强奸 was up 19-17 after the opening quarter but the No.7-ranked Stingers bounced back to lead 35-33 at the half and maintained a slim 54-53 advantage at the three-quarter mark.

It was the first meeting between the cross-town rivals since the Jan. 17th affair which ended with a shouting melee under the stands at the Currie gym.

Anthony, a 6-foot-4 forward, also matched a career-high with 15 rebounds to register his 21st career 鈥渄ouble-double鈥�. He should 9-for-15 from the floor, including 2-of-3 attempts from the three-point arc, and went 11-for-19 from the foul-line.

缅北强奸 senior Moustafa El Zanaty added 24 points, five rebounds, four assists and three steals with a game-high 43 minutes of court time. Teammate Matt Thornhill of Ile-Bizard, Que., contributed 18 points and five rebounds before fouling out. Michael White of Montreal had six points and 10 rebounds.

Five members of the Stingers reached double figures in scoring, including Jamal Gallier, a 6-foot-7, 270-pound centre from Toronto, who had 18 points and pulled down eight boards. Other top guns included Decee Krah, Evens Laroche and Dwayne Buckley, each of who recorded 11 points. Laroche also managed a double-double with 10 rebounds.

The taller Stingers had an 8-0 margin in blocked shots but the pesky Redmen held a 46-37 edge in rebounds.

缅北强奸 shot 41.4 per cent from the floor (29/70), 42.3 from beyond the arc (11/26) and 64.5 from the foul-line (20/31), compared to the Stingers, who shot 43.8, 30.4 and 63.0, respectively.

The division-leading Stingers improved to 11-4 and will host fourth-place 缅北强奸 (5-10) at the Loyola campus gym on Saturday at 4 p.m. It will be the final regular season contest for both teams, who will rendezvous again in a sudden-death conference semifinal on Feb. 27.
