       In the Ottawa-St. Lawrence semis, 2nd-seeded McGill defeated 3rd-seeded Carleton 97-81 as freshman guard Perry Douglas scored 27, including 4-5 from the arc. “My attitude all week was to come into this game and not try to dominate,” said Douglas. “All I wanted to do was play well and see the team play well. … Personally, I didn’t try to do too much and neither did the rest of the guys. My mind frame was not to get out of sync.” Douglas hit three treys in a four-minute span in the second half as McGill exploded for a 16-6 run to take a 63-48 lead. David Steiner added 20 for the Redmen, while Ariel Franco scored 13. Stefan Barton led the Ravens with 15. Mike Trought added 13 and Alex Overwijk 12. McGill coach Ken Schildroth said “we stuck to a game plan and our defence was a shot lot better.” Ravens coach Paul Armstrong told the Charlatan that Douglas “had an incredible game. He was four for five from the three-point line, and we just couldn’t stop him. He was the difference.” McGill led 41-37 at the half and opened the second frame with an 8-0 run, forcing Carleton to play catchup. The Ravens (coached by Paul Armstrong) also included Michael McInrue, Larry Elliot, Wayne Ferguson, Pat Istead, Paul Draper, Roger Piovesan, Mark Painter, Paul Chaplin, Craig Chandler and Jeff Sandy.

In the other Ottawa-St. Lawrence semi, top-seeded Concordia defeated 4th-seeded Bishop’s 91-84. The Stingers rallied from an eight-point deficit in the second half to knot the score at 62. Concordia took command in the final three minutes. Rookie guard Allan Cox scored 6 of his team-high 23 in the last 2:39 as Concordia closed it out with a 10-3 run. Concordia had trailed 46-44 at the half and were down 60-52 after seven minutes of the second half. Cox nailed back-to-back treys to cut the margin to 62-58. “We didn’t expect it would be easy,” said Cox, who hit 5-11 from the arc. “We had to go to double overtime to beat them the last time we played. We just wanted to win real bad. I wanted it real bad. I want to go to nationals.” Bishop’s coach Eddie Pomykala said “the last three minutes we got away from playing together. We became very careless with the ball. We hurried. We played Concordia tougher than anybody this season. But we only played for 37 minutes. We certainly expected to win. We slowed them down. The game plan worked. Concordia was confused. But we came up three minutes short.” Leon Pierre added 16 points and 12 boards. Nick Arvanitis notched 16. OUAA most valuable player David King paced Bishop’s with 28. Pierre Tibblin added 23. The Gaiters (coached by Pomykala, assisted by Carlo Del Basco) also included Scott Wilson, Warren Newberry, Mark McAuley, Tom Van Alstine, Jeff Harris, Dave Clements, Daniel Methot, Kevin McCormack, Alf Nutakor, Robert Henderson, Joe Sztrikacs and John Gordon.

In the Ottawa-St. Lawrence final, Concordia defeated McGill 90-78 as Dexter John scored 28. The Stingers weren’t pleased by their play. “We were 75, maybe 80 per cent,” John told the Montreal Gazette. “I can’t explain why we can’t play to our full potential. Mental lapses hurt us today, but we still can play a lot better than we did.” Concordia was shaky as they built a 44-41 lead at the half, and only pulled away in the final minutes. Michael Cohee added 20 points, Nick Arvanitis 17 and rookie Leon Pierre 10, along with 11 boards. McGill rallied to within 79-77 with 60 seconds to play before Concordia closed it out with an 11-1 run, including a 60-footer by Michael Baker at the buzzer. “It’s a chore to beat a team five times in one season,” said assistant coach John Dore. “We know each other so well. We didn’t play great today. We won because of talent. Dexter was hot as a pistol. He gave us a lift in the first half because he wanted it.” Allan Cox, who scored 10, said “Dexter and I know what it’s like to go to a national championship and win. We did it at Dawson and we want to do it again.” Paul Brosseau led McGill with 15. Jamie Simon added 14. McGill strode to a 32-17 lead as Brousseau, Simon and Patrick Arsenault ran rampant inside. But they couldn’t get the ball into the paint in the second half and lost their composure. “We knew they were going to come back at us no matter how big a lead we got,” said guard David Steiner, who scored 13 on 6-8 from the line. “The ball simply didn’t drop for us as the game went on.” The Redmen (coached by Ken Schildroth, assisted by Alfie Paoletti and Lloyd Scrubb) also included Bruce Bird, Michael Millman, Bruce McElroy, Ariel Franco, Ilya Gutlin, Mike Soussan, Gavin Slethaug, David Steiner, Perry Douglas, Jay Hiscox, Patrick Arsenault, Michael Millman, Paul Brousseau, James Simon and Patrick Baker.

       In the Central semis, 3rd-seeded Queen’s stunned 2nd-seeded Laurentian 85-80 as they scored 11 unanswered points in the final four minutes of play. The Gaels trailed 77-72 but took the lead on a Marty Corcoran bucket with two minutes to play. A free throw and a pair of layups off steals put the game out of reach. Queen’s led 46-39 at the half but Laurentian opened the second half with a 7-0 run and then moved ahead by five. “We stopped running and when we did run we put up bad shots,” said Gaels coach Barry Smith. “Even myself, to a certain degree, thought we had had the biscuit. Then we got the two quick steals to tie the game and we could taste it. Over those last couple of minutes, we probably played our best defence of the season.” Denny Palarchio’s bucket and Mike Scotten’s two free throws increased Queen’s lead to 83-77. Norm Hann responded with a trey with a minute to play but before Pat McDonald closed out the scoring with a pair from the line. “The second half was a fan’s delight and hard on the health of coaches,” said Smith. “In the last couple of minutes, my heart was really beating. I think at one point, it was about two inches outside my rib cage.” Scotten led the Gaels with 27, including 11-15 from the field and 14 boards. Mike Burleigh added 17, including a trio from beyond the arc and 12 boards. McDonald scored 11, Corcoran 10 and Denny Palarchio 10. Lloyd Pollard led the Voyageurs with 32, including 21 in the second half. Rob Gillespie added 11. The win avenged pair of regular season losses to the Voyageurs (coached by Peter Campbell), who also included Norm Hann, John Campbell, Walter Johnson, Marcel Langlois, Mike Albert, Paul Falco, Brad Rollo, Dwayne Rivard, Rod Gilpin, Derrick des Vignes and Dave Gomes.

       In the other Central semi, top-seeded Toronto defeated 4th-seeded York 86-66. Mark Harvey, Nick Saul, Art Sharp and Rob Wilson hit buckets as Toronto broke to a 15-2 lead. “We had a real good first 10 minutes, but we kind of slacked off a bit,” said Toronto coach Gib Chapman. “We came out strong in the second half and we built it back up.” The Yeomen rallied back to within 41-28 at the half but could not close the gap as the Blues continued to dominate the boards. Harvey scored 21 and nabbed 22 boards. “We knew we had to come and play hard,” said the 6-foot-9 Harvey. Jim Clarke led the Yeomen with 22. York’s Mark Bellai told The Excalibur that “Toronto is really big and strong and they shoot really well. … They’ve got everything.” The Yeoman (coached by Bob Bain, assisted by Mike Quigley) also included Jeff McDermid, Steve Szagala, Mike Yuhasz, Dave Neziol, Jeff Root, Shelby Goldman, Steve Derkermanjian, Noah Rotman, Jeff Krupski and John McKinnell.

In the Central final, top-seeded Toronto edged 3rd-seeded Queen’s 83-81. The Gaels rallied from an 18-point first-half deficit to threaten the regular season champ Blues. “It was too close,” division all-star Nick Saul, who scored 27, told the Toronto Star. “They really came at us hard in the second half. They realized they were one game away from Halifax. But like we’ve done all year, we showed heart and hung on. I feel great. It’s like the burden is off our back.” Coach Gib Chapman was relieved. “We’re going to Halifax. That’s the important thing. That’s what we worked for all year. Sure, we’ll play hard (on Tuesday), but we’re over the psychological barrier.” Trailing 48-30 at the half, they cut the margin to one with seven minutes to play and thought they’d taken the lead when Mike Scotten scored on a putback rebound. Instead, he was called for a foul. “We thought we had tied the game with a chance to take the lead with Scotten on the foul line,” said Queen’s coach Barry Smith. “The ref said he hip-checked a guy out of his way. That took the wind out of our sails. Instead of maybe being one up, Toronto was shooting one-and-one.” Nick Saul led the Blues with 27, including 15 in the first half. Rob Wilson added 22, including in the second half. “Saul was the guy who killed us down the stretch,” said Smith. “He hit some crucial shots.” Smith added that his troops appeared intimidated in the first half. “We had a good yelling session at halftime. I didn’t know if it would do any good. Maybe I should have those before the games. I said: ‘we’ve got nothing to lose, do everything you can’. Our goal was cut the lead down to 10 points with 10 minutes to play.” The Gaels quickly trimmed the margin to six but then gave up three uncontested transition layups. “We substituted and made some mistakes and they scored two or three uncontested layups. I told them: ‘we’re beating ourselves. Why work you but off to the cut the lead only to give up an uncontested layup?’ They went back out and worked. We worked our butts on man-to-man defence, pushed the ball up the floor and started taking it to them a bit more than in the first half. In the first half, we were intimidated by Toronto and changing our shots because of their big guys. We weren’t challenging them, we weren’t fast breaking, we weren’t getting back on defence. There were a lot of things we didn’t do on offence and defence. Offensively, we didn’t challenge them at all. If we went inside and if a big guy put his arm up, we’d change the shot. Two or three times we hesitated to shoot and that was just enough time for someone to hit the ball away.” Scotten paced Queen’s with 24. Mike Burleigh added 18 and Pat McDonald 15. The Gaels (coached by Barry Smith) also included Denny Palarchio, Marty Corcoran, Mark Alessio, Geoff Horton, Dan Wright, Dave Burleigh, Michael Boydell, Dean Medeiros, Peter Panopoulos, George Dudas, Doug Laughton, Duff Trumble and Rick Irvine.

       In the Central-Ottawa-St. Lawrence playoff, Toronto defeated Concordia 108-96 in overtime. The match ended with Concordia players chasing referee Jim Orr of Toronto down the hallway shouting abusive language and forcing Concordia assistant John Dore to restore calm. Toronto led 58-45 at the half but Concordia rallied to take an 84-83 lead and then missed two chances to win it in the final 30 seconds of regulation, after which the scored as knotted at 86. “We were too slow at the start of overtime,” Stinger Nick Arvanitis told the Montreal Gazette. “Toronto played the overtime well. They took away the inside stuff from us and forced us to try to beat them from outside.” Nick Saul paced the Blues with 31, including 7-10 from the arc. Rob Wilson added 21 and Mark Harvey 17. Dino Perin led the Stingers with 25 points and 13 boards. Arvanitis added 14 points and 11 boards. Arvanitis said the loss demonstrated that “we have to get tougher going into nationals. We have to be prepared to play 40 minutes, not 30 or 35.” After the contest, Stinger Dexter John said a white referee repeatedly used the term “boy” in speaking to black Concordia players during the game. “When I tried to talk to the ref, he wouldn’t answer me and he kept calling me ‘boy’,” John told Canadian University Press. “He said ‘Get away from me, boy’.” But Bob Phillip, Concordia athletic director, said he would not be filing a complaint because Ontario-based official Jimmy Orr also used the term “boy” when talking to white players. John said “I didn’t hear him call any of the white players ‘boy.’ … When we go over to Ontario, referees — and even players — sometimes call us ‘boy,’. I think we should do something about those guys. They shouldn’t ref any more Concordia games.” Stinger coach Doug Daigneault said he will hand-deliver a formal letter complaining about the official’s behavior to the Ontario refereeing association. “We were disappointed with some of the officiating and some of the statements made at the end of the game.”

       In the West quarterfinals, the 3rd-seeded Waterloo Warriors defeated the 6th-seeded Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks 86-65. “You have to change your game mentally,” Warriors coach Don McCrae told the Imprint. “It’s different when you’re playing down inside, especially for our big people, when you’ve been playing outside against a smaller team like Laurier.” Tom Schneider paced the Warriors with 24. Ron Braley added 11 and Don Meace 10. Schneider told the Kitchener-Waterloo Record that “it was difficult playing them again but coach reminded us at the half to worry about ourselves and concentrate on our technique and our systems.” Tony Marcutullio led the Hawks with 19. Paul De Santis added 16, Mike Alessio 16 and Dave Klueskens 10. The Warriors broke to a 10-0 lead and the Hawks soon found themselves in foul trouble after trying to make it physical. Still, they drew within 19-14 before Waterloo ripped off a 10-0 run keyed by a pair of Chris Troyak steals. Laurier answered with a bucket and then the Warriors ripped off another 10-0 run to take a 41-21 lead into the lockers. The Golden Hawks drew no closer than 12. “We played very well defensively,” McCrae told the Imprint. “Except when Marcotullio went coast to coast a couple of times. But it wasn’t the prettiest of games, was it?” Hawks coach Chris Coulthard said “I thought Waterloo played very well. In the second half, Waterloo wasn’t as intense and we almost got back in it. But we couldn’t get back that far.” Hawks coach Chris Coulthard told the Cord that “it would have been very easy to roll over and die in the second half, but we came out and played hard.” The Golden Hawks (coached by Chris Coulthard, manager John Bosco, manager Keith Trask) also included Mike Alessio, Mike Demaree, Nino Miksic, Lorenzo Segato, Dave Kleuskens, Gary Lankowski, Danny Deep, Jamie Holtom, Julian Robbins, Eric Yeo and Steve Duncan.

In the other West quarterfinal, 4th-seeded McMaster defeated 5th-seeded Windsor 94-90. The Lancers led for 35 minutes but wilted down the stretch. “I thought everybody played a fine game,” said Lancers coach Paul Thomas. “We got everything out of the team that we could. Overall, we deserved to win but we needed a break or two towards the end and didn’t get them. Some of the shots we made in the first half didn’t go in for us in the second. Our big men, Henry Valentini, Andre Morassutti and Chris Daly, got in foul trouble and we lost all of three of them. We looked and played like Lancers are expected to play but we couldn’t stop from scoring when we had to in the second half. McMaster coach Barry Phillips, whose squad trailed 50-29 at the half, said the Lancers “did a great job on us in the first half. They took us out of our game with their half-court zone press and fallback 2-3 zone. I recognized from watching their pre-game warmup that the Lancers were ready to play us tough. And they did. I thought that Craig Muir (with 21 points) kept us in the ball game early and David Bayfield made the difference for us with his 15 rebounds.” The Marauders hit 25-33 from the line, while Windsor was 21-29. Windsor jumped to a 30-14 lead and then moved ahead by 15 with three minutes to play in the first half. McMaster trailed by at least 10 until the final frame, when they ripped off an 18-7 run to take their first lead at 83-82. It was tight over the final minutes until McMaster took the lead on a free throw by Muir and Jeff Zownir’s layup. Muir and Ed Madronich iced it with free throws. Madronich led McMaster with 22. Muir added 21 and Mike Preocanin 17. Theo Tseaprailis and Carlo Boniferro each notched 22 for Windsor. Jeff Nekkers added 18 and Andre Morassutti 12. The Lancers (coached by Paul Thomas, assisted by Nick Grabowski and Wayne Curtin) also included Henry Valentini, Michael Ogley, Jazz Dhaliwal, Kris Paulley, Chris Daley, Marco Fratarcangeli, Mike Wallace, Kent Coyle, Andre Morrassutti, Ken Schweitzer, Jeff Hewick, Roy Carvalho, Delroy Wright and Steve Diakowsky.

In the West semis, 2nd-seeded Guelph defeated 3rd-seeded Waterloo 74-48 as Tim Mau scored 24 and nabbed 18 boards. Rene Luypaert added 12 and Ray Darling 10. The Warriors shot .320 from the floor and 10-17 from the line. John Clark led the Warriors with 18. Tom Schneider added 15 on 2-10 from the floor, Don Meace 9 and Ron Braley 6. The Gryphons broke to an 18-8 lead and quickly extended the margin to 32-14 on a pair of Mau buckets. They led 40-22 at the half and were never threatened. Gryphons coach Tim Darling told the Kitchener-Waterloo Record that “we tried to get them out of the game early with an up-tempo offence. Also we know they have two fine guards in Schneider and (Chris) Troyak. It was important that we neutralize them, keep the pressure on and exhaust them as much as possible.” Warriors coach Don McCrae said Guelph “played solid in all phases. We tried to jam up the middle with them and they still played over top of us. It’s difficult to score much when you’re clanking balls up and ricocheting them off the top of the backboard – we just unraveled. It was a nightmare. Let’s face it though, they had control of the game and we didn’t have any control.” McCrae told the Imprint that “I was satisfied with the year until this. We’ve played well since January after an 8-8 preseason but to finish like this is a little disappointing. They put a lot of pressure on Schneider tonight, but nobody on our team took the pressure off him.” Guelph coach Tim Darling said “Waterloo’s been one of the Cadillacs of the league for years. It’s nice for an upcoming BMW like us to win.” He added that “we took a sheet out of the Western songbook. We felt that they have excellent guards and we thought that if we neutralized them we could win. Darling and Luypaert did an excellent job on Schneider, who’s an excellent player.” The Warriors (coached by McCrae) also included Chris Troyak, John Bileway, Andrew Zienchuk, Pat Telford, Jason Poag, Jeremy Moore, Peter Sawchuk, Dave Rosebush, Robert Baird, Lance Lockhart and John Vincic.

In the other West semi, top-seeded Western thumped 4th-seeded McMaster 81-72 as John Stiefelmeyer scored 21, Dave Ormerod 17 and James Green 15. The Mustangs led 38-35 at the half and hit 26-59 from the floor, while outrebounding McMaster 33-26. Mike Preocanin led the Marauders with 20. Craig Muir added 14, Ed Madronich 13 and Gord Leenders 10. Marauders coach Barry Phillips told the Hamilton Spectator that “really, when I look back on it, this team consistently played to their level. We weren’t the kind of team that knocked off the big teams. … We fouled a little at the end and they made the free throws. We missed a couple of free throws. They made their free throws..” The Marauders (coached by Phillips) also included Jeff Zownir, Rupert Wilson, Randy Hillmer, Jasper Naus, David Bayfield, Brian McMahon, Rich Griffiths and John Triveri.

In the West final, top-seeded Western defeated 2nd-seeded Guelph 73-68.

       In the Wilson Cup final, Western defeated Toronto 98-93 in overtime as John Stiefelmeyer scored 34. The Mustangs wiped out an early 10-point Blues lead as they rallied to win their second consecutive Wilson Cup. “You really hate to lose, but after 16 straight wins the chances of it happening become pretty high,” Toronto coach Gib Chapman said. Stiefelmeyer said “it was a battle all the way down to the wire. You can’t really ask for any more excitement. We wanted it and so did they.” Marv Busby added 19 for Western and Kyle Rysdale 15. The Mustangs rallied as Steifelmeyer began draining treys (9 on the night). Toronto led 46-44 at the half. Stiefelmeyer hit two free throws to produce an 84-84 deadlock and force overtime. “This was a very big win for us,” said Stiefelmeyer. “It keeps us on a roll (with 10 straight wins) instead of letting Toronto go to Halifax on a high.” Nick Saul scored 33 for the Blues, including nine from beyond the arc. Toronto had a chance to win it regulation but Rob Wilson’s last second hook was blocked. In the extra period, with Mark Harvey fouling out, Western scored the first 4 points, and built the lead up to 7 several times. But Saul and freshman Allen MacDougall kept hitting treys to keep the Blues close. With the lead down to 2, missed a bomb that would have given the Blues the lead. Instead, they were forced to foul and the Mustangs pulled out the win at the line.

       In April, 1989, 39-year-old Chris Coulthard resigns as coach of Wilfrid Laurier because of “burnout.” The Windsor grad said “this wasn’t a sudden decision on my part. It’s been coming on for a couple of years. It’s very time consuming. When it’s not the coaching season, it’s recruiting season and I have three youngsters (aged seven, five and two) at home. I want to spend more time with them.” Coulthard took over the Golden Hawk reins eight years ago, after spending six years as an assistant and teaching health and activities. “It’s tough to recruit in this area,” Coulthard said. “Our admission standards are 75 per cent for arts and 81 per cent for business. Then, we have Waterloo just down the street and Guelph about 10 miles away. They’re heavy into recruiting around here, too.” Also found it hard to play backseat to football. “We have three full-time football coaches on staff and one of them recruits on a year-round basis,” Coulthard said. “They (the administration) are going to have to help the basketball program in terms of recruiting.” Coulthard told The Cord that “it just takes so many hours in recruiting time, here. If I’m not willing to put this time in, then how can I expect the players I have to put that commitment in. … It was a very tough decision, but in my heart, you know it’s time to go. I finally made the decision because my wife was comfortable with it. Once we were on the same wavelength, it became very easy. … It was simply time for a change; change is good.” Gary Jeffries, head coach of the women’s team, was appointed to succeed Coulthard.

       After the season, Gib Chapman, 63, resigns as head coach of Toronto to become director of athletics at the University of New Hampshire. The Houlton, Maine native was president of the CIAU from June-1986 to December-1988. He posted a 74-27 record, twice winning the OUAA East and twice winning coach of year honours. He’s replaced by Lethbridge coach Ken Olynyk. “I’m thrilled because this is where it’s all happening,” said Olynyk, 37, coach of the Pronghorns for the past 10 years and the head coach of the junior men’s national team. I’m coming into the best situation a coach could ever ask for. It’s one that I’m really excited about because the players know what they’re capable of and they’ve got some goals now. They think they can win the championship.” Olynyk took the Pronghorns to the national playoffs three times and was named the Canada West coach of the year in 1984-85.

       Bruno Colavecchia is released at Lakehead and is replaced by Lou Pero.

       Garney Henley leaves Brock to become an assistant with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. He is replaced by former Badger great Ken Murray, who toiled for Brock between 1773-77, scoring 1,209 points and corralling 659 boards.

       Doug Daigneault is turfed at Concordia and replaced by six-year assistant John Dore, on a part-time basis. Dore heads the phys ed department at Westmount’s St. George’s High School. The program is besieged by player complaints, with three freshmen, Alex Cox, Dexter John and Leon Pierre, saying they were so disillusioned with Daigneault that they were leave the school. Daigneault spent 23 years coaching at Concordia and, before the 1975 merger with Sir George Williams, at Loyola College. His squads won 13 conference titles.
