McGill led the Bearcats in points (21), rebounds (8) and steals (9).  Watkins and Hawkins added 12 points each.

Despite a career-high 30 point performance from junior BJ McGill, the Bearcats were unable to complete a second half comeback, falling 80-67 to Thiel College in the Carey Center.

The loss snapped the Bearcats' 28-game home winning streak, spanning to January 2007.

Both teams traded leads throughout the first 10 minutes, with SVC taking a 16-14 lead on a long field goal from BJ McGill near the midway point of the first half.  Thiel then went on a six-point run to take a four-point lead thanks to strong inside play from Matt May.

Thiel opened the lead to five, 28-23, before a steal and score by Edmond Wright cut the gap to just three, but the Tomcats closed the half with an eight-point run to take a 36-25 lead into the break.

The second half was played much more evenly, until SVC got into foul trouble.  Down 60-48, Saint Vincent hit back-to-back threes by Wright and McGill to make it a six point game, and a pair of free throws by Stephon Berry at the 6:56 mark cut the lead to just five, 61-56.

However, center Alberto Benetti fouled out just seconds later, joining Hawkins and Wright with five fouls, depleting the Bearcat bench.  With just five players remaining, SVC showed signs of being tired in the closing minutes as Thiel increased the margin to 13 at the buzzer.

Saint Vincent came out of the blocks in a hurry, opening up a 9-2 lead just over five minutes into the game, with Garrison Gross contributing four points.  A pair of free throws by Edmond Wright then increased the lead to 12-3 at the 13:13 mark, but the Titans closed the gap to just three, 13-10, just 90 seconds later.

SVC responded with five quick points to make it 18-10, and a baseline jumper from Armani Fountain made it a nine point game (20-11) just past the midway point of the first half.

Westminster then scored four points to cut the gap to five, and the teams played evenly for the next several minutes.  With 5:17 left, Alberto Benetti hit a jumper that put the Bearcats ahead 26-21.  Unfortunately, it would be the last points SVC would score in the first half, at the Titans unleashed an 18-0 run over the final five minutes, taking a 39-26 lead.

The run stretched to 24 points early in the second half before BJ McGill sparked an 11-2 Saint Vincent run.  McGill started with a drive and layup, then hit a three-pointer, and later closed the run with a tip-in at the 16 minute mark that cut the deficit to ten, 47-37.

However, Westminster later ran the lead back to fifteen (57-42), and it wasn't until a conventional three-point play by McGill with 8:17 remaining that the gap dropped to single digits, 59-50.  Once again, the Titans played well on both sides of the ball, and SVC never got back within nine.

Things changed as soon as the second half began, with the hosts going on a 16-4 run in the first five minutes of play.  While Saint Vincent continued to struggle, shooting just 32% in the second half, the Cardinals shot 76% (19 for 25) in the second half to pull away to the win.

A basket by Alberto Benetti, followed by a McGill three-pointer at the 14:30 mark of the second half  cut the gap to seven, 40-33, but SVC could not get any closer, as the team dropped its sixth straight game, falling to 3-7 on the year.

Down 29-19, Saint Vincent finally got a bucket with just 2:50 left in the first half when Mike Watkins hit a three-pointer, but the lead grew to 14 before a Stephon Berry tip-in closed the half with the Bearcats down 36-25.

The lead remained eleven (40-29) before SVC went on a 5-point run early in the second half, with Watkins providing four of the points.  However, a Brian Felker trey at the 14 minute mark once again pushed the lead to eleven (47-36) before the Bearcats got physical and started to close the gap.  

BJ McGill scored five straight points, the last three of which came on a conventional three-point play, then Henry Utku drove the lane and did the same.  After he converted the free throw, the Bearcats trailed by just three, 47-44.  A pair of free throws, one by Ed Wright and one by McGill, made it a one-point game midway through the second half, before the Presidents added a three-point play of their own by Felker to make it 50-46.

Bethany took the largest lead of the opening half, 20-15, with just under nine minutes remaining, but SVC later tied the game at 25-25 on a baseline drive by Ed Wright in the closing minutes.  However, the Bison outscored Saint Vincent 5-1 before the break, taking a 30-26 lead into the locker room.

Strong play by Henry Utku on both offense and defense brought SVC right back into the game to start the second half, but Bethany later opened a 7-point lead, 37-30, at the 14:55 mark.

With just two minutes on the clock, the Bearcats found themselves behind by a score of 56-53, but Hawkins again fought through the defense and scored to make it a one-point game, but it was as close the hosts would get, as the Bison hit several free throws in the closing seconds to pull away to the victory.

For Saint Vincent, McGill tallied 19 points, while Hawkins added 15.  Wright scored 11 and Utku added 6.  Stephon Berry grabbed nine rebounds for the Bearcats (5-9).

The Bearcats dropped a shocker to Waynesburg University on the road by a score of 58-56.

It was all Waynesburg in the early part of the game, as the hosts opened an 11-3 lead before SVC slowly started chipping away at the deficit. 

Scores by Ed Wright and McGill helped SVC to tie the game at 18-18 with 8:45 left in the first half.  A three by McGill at the 4:44 mark put SVC ahead, 25-22, but Waynesburg fought back and eventually built a 34-27 lead, before McGill hit a long three in the closing seconds to make it a four-point game at the half.

Waynesburg continued to hold the lead until the 14:00 mark of the second half, when McGill converted a conventional three-point play to give the Bearcats the lead, 41-40.  After an Alberto Benetti free throw made it 42-40, Waynesburg went on a nine-point run to make it 49-42 with 10:35 remaining.

Again, SVC rallied, with a pair of scores from Henry Utku cutting the gap to just one (53-52).  McGill then hit a jumper with 5:22 left that put Saint Vincent back into the lead.  The game then turned into a defensive struggle, with neither team finding the hoop until the 2:04 mark, when Waynesburg retook command, 55-54.  They built the lead back to three, 57-54, when McGill drew a foul and hit both shots with just 39 seconds remaining.

A free throw by Waynesburg with 19 seconds put the hosts up by two, and SVC drew another foul seven seconds later.  However, the visitors were unable to convert the front end of the one-and-one, yet managed to end up with the ball after a scramble resulted in Waynesburg knocking the ball out of bounds.  SVC had one last chance, but a last second attempt to tie the game missed the mark.

BJ McGill led all scorers with 26 points on the night, and also grabbed 9 rebounds.  Henry Utku and Stephon Berry each had 8 boards.
