From this morning's Hamilton Spectator...
Marauders win in last second A basket at the buzzer by rookie Taylor Black lifted the McMaster Marauders to a 69-67 victory over the Queen’s Gaels in an Ontario University Athletics men’s basketball game Friday. Mac’s Victor Raso inbounded a lob pass from behind the basket with 0.8 of a second remaining. Black tipped it with one hand on the alley-oop off the glass and in to send the crowd into a frenzy. Timothy Boyle’s three-point shot with 11.5 seconds left had tied the score at 67-67. Cam Michaud was the top scorer for McMaster with 17 points. Black and Kenan Etale both had 12.
“Victor made a perfect read,” McMaster coach Amos Connolly said. “And Taylor obviously had a perfect finish. “Our team needed this. We’ve squandered some leads. It’s nice to catch a break.”
For Queen’s Dan Bannister tossed in a game-high 28 points.
The win was the second straight for Mac after three losses to open conference play.
The Marauders take on the winless Royal Military College Paladins Saturday at 8 p.m. at the Burridge Gym.
