 Riley Holds the Trophy IslandStats.com
It was McGill's 21st Conference Title overall but their first since 1986, when they advanced to a CIS Regional Tournament.
Bishop's led 23-14 after the opening quarter and 42-28 at halftime, then took what appeared to be an insurmountable 49-34 lead less than three minutes into the second half. But McGill narrowed the gap to 61-55 by the end of the third quarter and finally grabbed the lead at 68-67 with 4:04 remaining in the game on a three-point play by McGill top scorer Adrian Hynes-Guery.
The lead changed hands four times in the final four minutes and Bishop’s bounced back to take a 74-70 advantage with 2:20 left but McGill rallied the troops again. Hynes-Guery scored the winning basket with 67 seconds remaining, draining his second three pointer of the game to put McGill ahead 75-74.
Hynes-Guery, a first-year transfer from the NCAA's American International College, made only four of 15 shots from the field but shot an impressive 14-for-16 from the foul line for 24 points.
Riley went 4 for 5 from the Field, he grabbed 8 Rebounds to go along with 1 Assist and 1 Steal in 21 minutes of action.
