The Dalhousie Tigers, relegated to the consolation side of the CIS Final 8, are looking for redemption after a disappointing 24 point loss to UBC on Friday. Outmatched physically by the larger Thunderbird team, the Tigers hoped to use their size advantage over the smaller side from Montreal.
Dal took an early 5-0 lead, before allowing an 11-0 run by Concordia. The quick Stingers are proving troublesome for the Dalhousie guards causing multiple turnovers (including 5 by Andrew Sullican and 4 by Simon Farine) and have Dalhousie off their game with several blown plays resulting in easy baskets for Concordia.
Dalhousie down as many as 19 in the second quarter have managed to narrow the gap with a 6-0 run to end the half, including a last second buzzer beater from Robert Nortmann.
The Tigers are being lead by Farine with 14 points, no other Tiger has more than 3.
If Dalhousie is able to mount a comeback and win, they will play the winner of StFX and Ottawa on Sunday. If not the Tigers will return to Halifax 0-2 and 0-4 in CIS Final 8 tournament history.
