In the semis, the 2nd-seeded Bishop’s Gaiters pounded the 3rd-seeded Concordia Stingers 74-59. Concordia took an early four-point lead but an Onnex Blackwood layup knotted the score at 18 after one quarter. The Gaiters led 36-34 at the half but began working the ball inside to Matt McLean and Mike Andrews in the second half and built a 52-49 lead after three quarters and then took command in the final frame. “I was really happy with our second half,” said Gaiters coach Rod Gilpin. “I think Matt McLean had an outstanding game. He often flies under the radar but really stepped up today. Mike Andrews and Jona Bermillo did some very good things in the second half that they were not able to do in the first. … Our veteran guys really stepped up and we got some really good contribution from our rookies when we needed to. We also did a pretty good job rebounding the ball, so I’m pretty happy with our defense.” Concordia coach John Dore said “we didn’t execute the way we had to execute. Bishop’s is a really experienced team; their guys have been playing together for three or four years. They are big, with a good depth so they deserve full credit.” Jona Bermillo was named player of the game for the Gaiters. Jonathan Bermillo paced the Gaiters with 14 on 6-10 from the floor, 1-2 from the arc and 1-3 from the line. Matt McLean added 13 on 4-7 from the floor, 1-1 from the arc, 4-6 from the line, 10 boards, 5 assists and 2 steals.

In the other semi, the top-seeded McGill Redmen pounded the 4th-seeded Laval Rouge et Or 82-69. Laval broke to a 12-6 lead but soon began coughing up the ball which allowed McGill to take a 21-20 lead after one quarter and inch ahead 43-40 at the half. They doubled the margin to 66-60 after three quarters and slowly pulled away in the final frame. Redmen coach Dave DeAveiro said “it was a very hard-fought game. Laval was well prepared; the coaching staff did an amazing job getting the kids ready to play. I was a little concerned with the way they were shooting the ball in the first half. But the defence got better in the second half.” Laval coach Jacques Paiement Jr. said “we played a good game. We started strong and it was exactly our goal, but we lacked a bit of energy at the end. I liked our offense, it’s our defensive problems that made the difference.” François Bourque was chosen player of the game for McGill, while Hugues Ryan earned the laurels for Laval. Simon Bibeau paced the Redmen with 18 on 7-17 from the floor, 0-3 from the arc, 4-4 from the line and 4 boards.

The Redmen hit 32-65 (.492) from the floor, 4-16 from the arc and 14-17 (.824) from the line, while garnering 42 boards, including 12 on the offensive glass, 14 assists, 10 steals, 4 blocks, 17 turnovers and 15 fouls. Boris Hadzimuratovic paced the Rouge et Or with 14 on 4-10 from the floor, 6-7 from the line and 3 boards. Hugues Ryan added 13 on 5-13 from the floor, 3-7 from the arc and 13 boards.

In the final, the top-seeded McGill Redmen ripped the 2nd-seeded Bishop’s Gaiters 73-47 after leading 24-9, 40-23 and 64-32 at the quarters. “I thought we shot the ball extremely well today. We talked about two things before the game: rebounding and not giving any second opportunities, not turning the ball over so they get an easy score and we did a pretty good job in these two categories,” said McGill coach David DeAveiro. Gaiters coach Rod Gilpin said “I don’t think we executed our game plan really well in the first half. We missed a lot of good shots inside that could have allowed us to stay in the game. We got ourselves into a situation where we had to scramble and they handled the ball too well to let us back into it. … We also missed a lot of good shots, easy shots, inside, while they shot really well. It was hard for us today.” The Redmen hit five treys as they built their first quarter lead and Vincent Dufort notched his fourth trey of the first half as McGill headed into the lockers with a 17-point edge. Dufort was chosen player of the game for the Redmen, while Onnex Blackwood earned the laurels for the Gaiters. “I wanted to take it upon myself to make sure we got a good start,” said Dufort. “I did my best to give us a push and then from there on everyone else picked up and we never looked back.” DeAveiro said Francois Bourque’s defensive play was critical. “I don’t think Frank gets enough credit for his defence on larger post players. It has been amazing his competitiveness and tenaciousness, he gets after it and it really helps us. … Our focus was to take away their inside game. We packed the paint and wanted to have them beat us with outside shots.” DeAveiro also noted the title was “really rewarding in a sense because of so many young kids we have. Every time I think we are going to hit a bump in the road they prove me wrong; it’s been a resilient group in that sense.” Vincent Dufort paced the Redmen with 18 on 7-11 from the floor, 4-5 from the arc, 7 boards and 3 assists. Simon Bibeau added 11 on 3-8 from the floor, 1-2 from the arc, 4-5 from the line, 2 boards, 4 assists and 4 steals. Francois Bourque notched 10 on 3-5 from the floor, 4-6 from the line and 12 boards.
