The Tigers suffered another tough loss to Gaels of Holy Cross. Hargrave led for much of the first half, but a late second quarter push by Holy Cross sent the Tigers to the locker room trailing by a point. The second half started out much like the first, with both teams swapping baskets. However, some costly turnovers and cold shooting led to the Gaels taking the lead for the remainder of the game. Overall it was a very good effort against one of the best teams in the VIC. Leading the way for the Tigers were Victor Ibeh (12 pts., 8 rebs., and 2 steals), Nick Barr (12 pts., 2 steals, and 2 assist), Andrew Pughsley (11 pts., 4 rebs., and 2 steals), and Mark Manning (10 pts., 3 steals, and 4 assist). Chris Smoot (7pts., 2 rebs., and 2 assist) and Jeffrey Oboite (6 pts., 7 rebs., and 2 steals) also had solid games coming off the bench. With the loss the Tigers drop to 5-9 overall and 3-7 VIC. Hargave returns to action on Thursday, Febuary 2nd. Tip-off is scheduled for 5:30 PM.
