Game Recap

The Bonnies win a big game here at the Reilly Center 58-54 over the University at Albany. In Will Brown's first appearance in Olean since calling the head coaching job, "career suicide" in a radio interview, he was greeted rudely by the WolfPack student section. The game proved to be an exciting one as the Bonnies commanded the game for most of the first half. However, the first thirteen minutes of the second half were dreadful for the Bonnies as the Great Danes went on a 22-4 run before a Tyler Relph 3 brought the run to an end. From there, the Bonnies went on a 17-3 run to end the game and thus the win was theirs. The Great Danes scored one basket in the last 6 minutes and 58 seconds. Relph scored all eight of his points in the 17-3 run to end the game and Fereti scored seven of 12 points in the same run. Michael Lee had the only other basket during the run and it was his 17 footer that put the Bonnies ahead for good. For the game, Lee had 20 points and eight rebounds, but 17 of the 20 came in the first half. Besides Relph, the player of the game for the Bonnies would have to be forward D'Lancy Carter who grabbed 15 rebounds in 36 minutes of play. Carter also scored eight points on 3-of-5 shooting from the field. So, the Bonnies go to 5-5 and Mark Schmidt has to be happy with how his seniors, especially Relph who did not practice for the past week, stepped up in the final seven minutes of the game to get a much needed victory. The Bonnies will next travel to Hampton on Dec. 15 for a 7 p.m. matchup.

Michael Lee and the Bonnies offense has been terrible in this second half. They have scored six points only and given up 20. Mark Schmidt needs to do some serious coaching during this media timeout if the Bonnies are to win this game. It is imperative for the Bonnies to score on this possession out of the timeout.
