I was disconnected from the Dalhousie modem pool at halftime, and couldn't get in again until back at the hotel ... Dale} In the Championship Final of this year's CIAU Men's Final 8, the Bishop's Gaiters tangled with the McMaster Marauders. 2nd-seeded Bishop's advanced to the final by defeating Alberta and Victoria, while the 4th-seeded Maroon and Grey beat Acadia and Laurentian. The little school from Lennoxvegas carried home the CIAU crown, by defeating McMaster 74-71 in a thrilling finish, before a Metro Centre crowd of 6,379. The Marauders scored the game's first 8 points, but a Ryan Thorne "3" took the lid off the the Gaiters. 4 minutes in, Mac led 15-5, and with 11:33 to go, Mac was up 23-10. The Quebec champs fought back to cut the deficit to 25-18, and a nifty inbounds play by Ryan Thorne made it 27-24. A transition bucket brought the score to 27-26 at the 4:53 mark of the half. Bishop's took the lead, and carried it into the locker room, leading 36-31 at the intermission. By the midway point of the second half, the Gaiters had extended their lead to 60-47. Slowly but surely, the Maroon and Grey started a valiant comeback. They got to within 4 with under 6 minutes to play, but Bishop's held them at bay. A basket with 35.2 ticks on the clock brought Mac to within a duece, 73-71. Bishop's brought the ball up court, and McMaster forced Thorne to take an off-balance shot, which missed, but the Gaiters grabbed the board, and went to the line. They make 1-2 to take a 3-point lead. Steve Maga hurrily brought the ball up the floor, and dished to his brother Mark, whose attempt from beyond the arc to tie the game was right on line, but bounced off the back of the rim. The Gaiters and their great fans celebrated. The Marauders were dejected, but deserve all the credit in the world. This was another in a long line of superior advertisements for CIAU hoops, contested between two class institutions, with classy players, coaches, and fans. Thorne was named Player of the Game, scoring 15 points and dishing off 6 assists. Stewart Clark and Rob Burns each had 16 to lead Bishop's. Vojo Rusic was best on the day for Mac, scoring 21 points. Titus Channer capped a brilliant CIAU career by scoring 20 points, and contributing 6 steals. Steve Maga had 11 helpers, finishing the tournament with an incredible 36 assists in 3 games. If that's not a record, it is probably close. Clark was named the tourney MVP. All-Stars included Thorne and Patrice Lemieux from Bishop's, Maga and Channer from McMaster, and Eric Hinrichsen from Victoria. So ends another great season. 1998/99 awaits!!
