Thomson, Wolves slam Redmen with huge second half

The McGill Redmen proved pesky on Wednesday night, but couldn't hold on in the second half against the No. 3-ranked Lakehead Thunderwolves.

The McGill Redmen proved pesky on Wednesday night, but couldn't hold on in the second half against the No. 3-ranked Lakehead Thunderwolves.

Ryan Thomson poured home 18 second-half points and Greg Carter made seven steals to keep the McGill offence at bay, as the Wolves men's basketball team opened the University de Quebec a Montreal Classic with an 83-69 win. Thomson finished with 20 points.

"While both teams showed some obvious holiday rust, I thought both teams also played very hard over the 40 minutes," said LU coach Scott Morison.

"At the end of the day we had many positives to build on, but also a few blatant weaknesses we must improve tomorrow – namely rebounding and shot selection early in the game.  UQAM will provide tough match-ups for us and we have to regroup and get focused on them for 9 p.m. tomorrow night."
