Johnson (pictured, left) continually got free in transition for easy layups and on the "o" glass (5 putbacks) for scores inside as the X-Men won their third in a row overall. 6'2" Tyler Richards added 23 for St. FX, which shot 51% for the game. X got off to one of their high-energy, fast starts taking the lead early at 26-16 after the first quarter but watched as 6'1" Simon Farine (24 points, 10 assists, 4 steals, 3 rebounds) lead a Tiger charge back to bring the game back to within 2 late in the first quarter and 5 by halftime. Farine had 16 of the Tigers 34 first-half points. An 8-0 run off the start of the second half gave X a comfortable 13 point lead early in the third quarter as the Tigers turned the ball over 3 times on their first 4 possessions, leading to a pair of easy lay-ins for Johnson and a slam by 6'7" Luiz de Toledo (6 points, 7 rebounds in 27 minutes). But Dal came out of time out with a 8-0 run of their own, again led by Farine who found teammates for open layins on the break. The Tigers ended up with all 5 starters in double figures as their offense became more balanced in the second half, but an inability to get significant scoring inside and a terrible 6-13 effort as a team from the foul line were keys in their setback. The Tigers are back in action on Sunday, hosting Acadia at 3 PM at Dalplex while X is off until next Friday and Saturday when they host MUN Seahawks in Antigonish. Box Score
