Windsor 78, McMaster 64 In a dominant defensive effort that forced numerous Marauder turnovers, the Lancers broke away early in the fourth quarter with a 10-4 run to lead by 9 and the Marauders never got closer than 7 as Windsor improves to 6-3. 6'1" Josh Collins was stellar at both ends for Windsor, jumping the passing lanes and picking the younger Mac guards to lead the way offensively for the Lancers. Emerging 6'7" third year transfer Jahmal McQueen was tremendous inside and out for Windsor, showing a variety of slick post moves and knocking shots down and the entire Lancer group was in lock-down mode defensively and on the glass. Mac had authored a 9-3 run starting the second quarter to lead by 7 as 6'3" freshman Aaron Redpath knocked down consecutive 3's and 6'3" junior Victor Raso followed with a 3 of his own. But Collins took over from there, nailing a jumper, getting to the rim with a slick scoop lay-in and then, when Mac chose to go underneath a ball screen, Collins nailed a 28 foot 3, allowing the Lancers to finish the half on a 17-5 run as the Marauders settled for perimeter jumpers and Windsor's d stiffened. Windsor got a valiant effort from 6'2" Enrico Diloreto, playing with an obviously hurt right ankle, but gutted through, making a couple of big shots including a nice pull-up in transition and some nice finds. For Mac's young freshmen class, this evening was a lesson in what life on the road against an arch rival in January can be as the guards turned the ball over significantly, the ball only intermittently got inside during the offense and many quick shots were hoisted.

Remember when Waterloo was a perennial contender for the national title?
Chances are good you don't...unless you are over 50.
It's funny...a coach like Joe Raso gets canned despite 12 national tournament appearances in 18 years
and 4 national title games and yet a guy like Tommy K can hang on forever for 20+ years despite a lifetime sub .500 record..just sayin'.
