Brad Smith Blog: Part 4
As sad as it is, I am missing television at home. It is prime time sports season with the NFL coming to a close, the NBA and college ball being in full swing, and I can’t even watch it. All the sports they play here is soccer, and maybe the occasional darts or snooker. I am getting used to soccer, but there is only so much I can handle, I need some variety! It is especially going to be tough not being able to watch the Olympics, hopefully the men’s hockey team can somehow win gold again. That is all for now, should get another update out again soon, but until then best of luck to the mustangs as always,
cheerio,
Brad Smith.

Mustangs vs. Waterloo Pre-View
by Trent Williams - Mustangs Athletics
ONDON Ont. - The Western Mustangs men's Basketball team (7-7) is looking to right the ship after dropping their last three games. They'll get that opportunity against the Waterloo Warriors (8-6) on Jan. 27 at Alumni Hall, with tip off going at 8 p.m.
The playoffs are just down the road and the team currently sits in 5th place in the OUA West division with a 7-7 record. However, with 14 points, the team is simply one win away from jumping up into 3rd place in the tight standings. The top six teams will make it into the playoffs from both the West and East division, with the top two teams getting a bye in the first round.
The Mustangs struggled in their last game, falling 93-64 to McMaster without the support of Garrett Olexiuk (Burlington, Ont.) who sat out with a bruised knee. While preparing for the Warriors it's unsure if Olexiuk will be in the line-up.
"Garrett will be a game time decision for Wednesday." said Western Mustangs men's basketball head coach Brad Campbell.
Despite not getting desired results in the previous games, there has been some positives that Campbell has seen with his team, as well as some areas that he knows the team needs to improve upon.
"We continue to scrap and fight when things aren’t going well. We will need that more and more as we get closer to the playoffs," said Campbell. "We need to continue to work at the little things and improve on our play in the 2nd half half and 4th quarter especially"
Up against the Warriors, Campbell is looking for his team to have a much improved effort. As playoffs creep up on the Mustangs each and every game has more meaning, and it will be treaded as such.
"Waterloo is a disciplined and mature team. They have lots of senior players and will execute and play with experience. Every game from here on in has playoff implications, each will also have a playoff like atmosphere," said the fourth year coach Campbell.
After playing host to the Warriors, the Mustangs will travel to Wilfrid Laurier to take on the Golden Hawks (6-8) on Jan. 30 at 3 p.m. at the Laurier AthleticComplex. The team won't play another home game until Feb. 6 at 3 p.m. when they host the Guelph Gryphons (5-9) at Alumni Hall.

Today's London Free Press Article on Last Night's Game
For the second time this season, the Western men's basketball team pushed the No. 8-ranked Windsor Lancers. For the second time, the Mustangs didn't have enough push to get it done.
The Lancers beat the Mustangs 80-73 Wednesday night at Alumni Hall. It was Western's second loss in succession.
The Mustangs crawled back from as many as 11 points down to cut the lead to one late in the game. But Londoner Enrico Di Loreto hit two free throws and a three-pointer to open the lead back up and the Mustangs never threatened after that.
Mustangs coach Brad Campbell wasn't pleased with the way his club played.
"We just have to get better at the small details," Campbell said. "The box-out here, the better screen on offence there. What we aren't doing is the details on every possession. Not just the possessions at the end of the game, but the second possession of the game. That's as important as the last possession.
"What wins games are the little details. We just don't put enough possessions together with the details to beat Windsor in the last two games and Brock last Saturday."
These Mustangs ride a trio of players hard -- Garrett Olexiuk, Ryan Barbeau and Andrew Wedemire. When those guys aren't playing well, the Mustangs are in trouble, and when a team like Windsor shows up with all its depth, especially big men inside, the matchup problems begin.
"Windsor's strength is they have a lot of athleticism and a lot of talent and a lot of depth. They keep running it at you," Campbell said. "They can rotate guys in and still be athletic. With our lack of depth sometimes, it's tough for us to handle some of those situation."
Di Loreto led the Lancers with 20 points. Nigel Johnson-Tyghter had 19 and Isaac Kuon added 13.
Barbeau had 19 for the Mustangs with Olexiuk hitting for 17 and Wedemire 11.
Di Loreto was supposed to head to Central Connecticut University on a scholarship, but the Beal grad said the situation wasn't what he was promised it would be. He opted for Windsor.
"They've been recruiting me since Grade 9," he said. "I really like the atmosphere they have there and I like their style of play."
Di Loreto obviously enjoyed his return to London.
"It was fun playing here in front of all my family and friends," he said with a big smile.
As for the Mustangs, they've fallen to fourth in the OUA West.
"We've got a lot of young guys a lot of new guys and I wouldn't say our style of play is easy to pick up right away," Campbell said. "We have to start seeing some improvements with what we are doing and hopefully we can pull it together."
The Mustangs play at McMaster this weekend. Ex-Mustang Keenan Jeppesen is playing for the Marauders, who are two points behind Western in the standings.

Lancers edge Mustangs 80-73
From Andy Watson Mustangs Athletics
The Lancers led from start to finish and by as much as 11 points.
Diloreto (London, Ont.) led Windsor with 20 points to lift the Lancers to a 10-3 record to solidify their spot in second place in the OUA West. Western falls to fourth place in the OUA West with a 7-6 record.
Ryan Barbeau (Belleville, Ont.) had a double-double with 19 points an 10 assists, but he also had nine turnovers. Garrett Olexiuk (Burlington, Ont.) added 17 points and nine rebounds.
Barbeau was solid in transition for the Mustangs, creating havoc for the Windsor defence.Andrew Wedemire (Sarnia, Ont.) added 11 points and seven rebounds, along with an admirable ability to pick up fouls in the first half on seemingly every possession.
The Lancers led 40-37 at the half, but Western was on their heels throughout the game, falling behind and then putting a run together to keep it close.
The teams combined for 42 turnovers - 21 a piece.
Windsor, nationally ranked No. 8 in Canada, led by as much as 10 in the third quarter, but Western clawed back within five points, as the Lancers led 59-54 after the third quarter.
Western came within two points of the lead with just over four minutes left on the clock, with several strong defensive stands.
A fastbreak basket from Olexiuk pulled Western within two points again with 2:34 left and the Lancers leading 73-71.
But the Mustangs only scored two points in the final two and a half minutes, despite getting opportunities.
Next Western travels to play at McMaster at Burridge Gymnasium on Saturday Jan. 23 at 3 p.m.
The Marauders were 80-72 winners over Wilfrid Laurier on Jan. 20, while Waterloo defeated Brock 86-67 in Wednesday's other OUA men's basketball game.
The next Mustangs home game is on Wednesday Jan. 27 when the Waterloo Warriors visit Alumni Hall at 6 p.m.

Mustangs Get Ready for Lancers On Wednesday Night
By Trent Williams - Mustangs Athletics
LONDON, Ont. - The Western Mustangs (7-5 T-3rd OUA West) men's basketball team are looking to get back in the win column this Wednesday Jan. 20 as they host the Windsor Lancers (9-3, 2nd OUA west) at 8 p.m. at Alumni Hall.
The team is coming off a disappointing loss at the hands of the Brock Badgers, where a late colapse ultimately led to their demise in the 85-80 loss last Saturday.
Heading into this next game against the Lancers though, the team is fresh and ready to right the wrongs.
"As a group when things are not going well, we need to keep focused and execute," said Mustangs head coach Brad Campbell.
The team already is out for revenge, as they dropped a tight game 77-72 earlier this year against the nationally ranked Lancers back on Jan. 6th.
The Mustangs will likely look to the usual sources for the majority of their scoring. Andrew Wedemire(Sarnia, Ont.) has been on fire as of late, and is averaging 19.92 points per game this season, good enough for fourth best in the league. Meanwhile, Ryan Barbeau (Belleville, Ont.) is having a great season as well, his 15 point-per-game average is good enough for 15th in league soring.
According to Campbell, the team will be prepared to be on their heels, as the Lancers like to push the pace of the game.
"Windsor is very athletic and likes to play an up tempo style, while playing lots of their players," said the fourth year coach. "Our ability to score against their pressure will be key."
After the battle with the Lancers, the Mustangs will travel to take on the McMaster Marauders (6-6) who are hot on the tails of the Mustangs in the West division. Tip off for that game goes Saturday Jan. 23rd at 3 p.m. at McMaster's Burridge gym.

Scholtes is known for his ability to play both inside and out and is a tough defender who likes to rebound. "Peter has an outstanding all-around game for his size" Coach Campbell added.

Western 68, Guelph 65
Wedemire, Barbeau clutch combining for 42 points in victory over Gryphons
Jan. 13: Western 68 Guelph 65
By Andy Watson
GUELPH, Ont. - Ryan Barbeau hit a clutch three-pointer and scored another from the free-throw line, and Andy Wedemire made a thrilling block in the final seconds to lift Western's men's basketball team to a 68-65 win over the host Gryphons at the W.F. Mitchell Athletic Centre on Jan. 13.
The Mustangs improve to 7-4 with the win, moving into a tie for third place in the OUA West, while Guelph falls to 3-8, putting their playoff hopes into jeopardy.
Wedemire (Sarnia, Ont.) led the Mustangs with 22 points, while Barbeau (Belleville, Ont.) added 20. Garrett Olexiuk (Burlington, Ont.) added nine points in a game which saw a lot of physical play, particularly in the post for Olexiuk and fellow forwards.
The host Gryphons led 6-0 before Wedemire scored the Mustangs first points from the charity stripe. Guelph extended their lead to 9-2, and just when it seemed it could not get worse for Western, forward David Harder (Copenhagen, Denmark) took a bruising elbow to the nose and was forced to leave the game.
Minutes later, in a moment which left both teams anxious, Guelph senior Jay Mott, who had just returned to lineup after concussion problems, and Wedemire collided with both players on the ground and needing assistance from their respective training staffs.
Brett Lawrence (Welland, Ont.) hit a three at the first-quarter buzzer to tie the game at 17, capping an 11-0 Western run.
The Mustangs fell behind by eight points to start the second quarter and played from behind for much of the game.
Guelph continued to lead 35-27 at the half, despite Wedemire's game-best 11 points in limited playing time in the first half.
The Mustangs opened up the third quarter on a 21-7 run but Michael Petrella (Brantford, Ont.) and Dan McCarthy (Guelph, Ont.) nailed back-to-back threes with two minutes left in the period to tie it at 48.
Western led 53-51 after three quarters.
Trailing 62-60 with two and a half minutes remaining, Western's shooting woes continued, with three misses on one possession and struggles at the free-throw line.
Jason Milliquet (Sarnia, Ont.) tied the game with just over 1:30 left, as Guelph's Adam Bering (Tecumseh, Ont.) could not get close with four personal fouls.
Jonathan Moscatelli (Toronto) hit two of his team-high 19 points to give Guelph the lead again at 64-62 with just a minute left, but Barbeau's trey gave Western a 65-64 lead with 37 seconds, forcing the Gryphons to take their final timeout.
McCarthy was blocked by Wedemire as Guelph had a set play to isolate the forward. However, Wedemire had good position and timed the extension of his arms perfectly to make the stop.
Guelph was forced to foul, and Barbeau scored one of his free-throws to make it a two-point game.
With 20 seconds left, Guelph surged up the court, and Wedemire looked to have made another key block, this time on Petrella, but he was deemed to have made contact. Petrella scored one at the line to pull Guelph within one point, trailing 66-65.
Milliquet was fouled on the inbounds after a Western timeout and scored both of his free-throw attempts, extending the lead to three points at 68-65
Petrella missed a three-point attempt, contested by two Western defenders, at the buzzer.
Western's next home game is on Saturday Jan. 16 against the Brock Badgers at 3 p.m. at Alumni Hall.

The Mustangs are 5-1 in their last six games played, and are fresh off a victory over the Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks. Meanwhile, the Gryphons have dropped two straight.
Despite recent struggles, the game will be no walk in the park for the Mustangs, according to Mustangs head coach Brad Campbell.
“Guelph always plays physical and defends well. You have to be ready for a physical battle every time you play Guelph,” said Campbell.
As each team nears the mid-point of the regular season, there begins to be some parity in the league standings. Though Guelph does sit in the basement of the OUA West division, it does not mean that the Mustangs are going to take the game lightly.
“Guelph may be at the bottom of the standings right now, but they are a very capable team and are still in the playoff hunt,” said Campbell. “Guelph is a traditional rival of ours and therefore no motivation is ever needed when Western plays Guelph.”
Campbell said that the biggest thing his team will need to focus on will be keeping Guelph's top scoring threats contained.
“Keeping Guelph’s shooters Jay Mott (Burlington, Ont.) and Jonathan Moscetelli (Toronto) in check by limiting their looks (will be the key to winning).”
Western will be back at home on Saturday, Jan. 16 when they take on the Brock Badgers at 3 p.m. at Alumni Hall.

Mustangs 80 GoldenHawks 77
Today the Mustangs defeated the Laurier Goldenhawks in a close game 80-77. Andy Wedemire led the team with 26 points, 9 rbs.
The Mustangs (6-4, T-2nd OUA West) held the advantage throughout most of the game in part to strong performances from Andrew Wedemire (Sarnia, Ont.) with 26 points and Garrett Olexiuk (Burlington, Ont.) and Ryan Barbeau (Belleville, Ont.) with 17 and 15 points respectively.
Olexiuk and Barbeau teamed up on the final Hawks possession to force Max Allin (Chatham, Ont.) and Jesse MacDonald (Brantford, Ont.) to turn over the ball playing two-man ball, looking for a play to tie the game.
Allin led the way for the Golden Hawks (4-6, 6th OUA West) netting 23 and grabbing 16 rebounds while MacDonald added 20 points.
The Golden Hawks cut an eight-point fourth-quarter deficit and took the lead 77-76 with one minute left. A driving layup by Barbeau put the Mustangs ahead 78-77 and following a missed jumper by MacDonald, the Hawks were forced to foul with time running low.
Barbeau hit both foul shots to give Western a 80-77 lead with 13.8 seconds left.
A missed three-point attempt at the buzzer by Allin ended Laurier's comeback attempt.
Each team came out playing hard and aggressive trading baskets throughout the first quarter, with the Mustangs holding a slight advantage on the scoreboard for the majority of the quarter.
Both teams were playing well defensively with each team having to earn their baskets. The physical play was evidenced by the 1st quarter ending with Wedemire in a scrum with Evan Schwantz (Guelph, Ont.) on the defensive boards, earning him a pair of foul shots with no time left in the frame, giving the Mustangs a slight 21-18 advantage.
Laurier's offense looked flat in the second quarter and the Mustangs took advantage, distributing the ball well and getting to the line 14 times in the quarter and taking a 42-36 lead into halftime.
Each team came out hot at the start of the third quarter, putting on a long distance clinic, with each team hitting a trio of threes, including a pair from Jason Milliquet(Sarnia, Ont.).
Hard defence from Laurier in the quarter forced Western to miss some shots. The Hawks took advantage of the cold-shooting Mustangs, cutting into their lead.
But Wedemire's repeated trips to the line kept the Mustangs ahead 65-62 after three quarters of play.
In the fourth, the Golden Hawks cut the lead to one point to start the quarter, before Western scored six points on consecutive trips down the floor from Olexiuk and a big three-pointer from Barbeau to push the lead back to 74-66 in favour of Western.
The Mustangs run sent Laurier scrambling, forcing a time out from the Golden Hawks which changed the momentum. The Hawks went on a 9-0 run out of the huddle to take the lead 75-74 with a minute and a half remaining.
Each team traded buckets before the Mustangs were able to take advantage and seal the victory.
Western returns to the road on Jan. 13 to visit the Guelph Gryphons at 8 p.m. at the W.P. Mitchell Athletic Centre, while the Mustangs' next home game is on Saturday Jan. 16 on Alumni Day as Western hosts Brock.

Mustangs Fall to Windsor 77-72 in Tight Battle
The Lancers hit eight of their 12 successful three-pointers in the second half, including three from Issac Kuon who had 15 points in a monster second half.
Andy Wedemire (Sarnia, Ont.) and Garrett Olexiuk (Burlington, Ont.) led the Mustangs in scoring 20 points each, while guard Ryan Barbeau (Belleville, Ont.) notched 13 points. Marcus Barnett pulled down 11 boards and added two points.
Kuon led the host Lancers with 23 points, while freshman Josh Collins chipped in with 18 points. Nigel Tyghter-Johnson nearly had a double-double with 14 points and nine rebounds.
"I thought we played well enough to win," said Western Mustangs head coach Bradley Campbell. "We had a few defensive laspses in the fourth quarter that cost us (the game)."
Western (5-4) opened up with a methodical 6-4 lead, playing a solid zone defence against the Lancers (7-2) in a low-scoring start. Windsor took its first lead of the game midway through the opening quarter at 7-6 on a three from Kuon. The hot shooting guard had several momentum-changing shots in the game.
Western led 20-14 after the first quarter and stretched the lead to nine points midway through the second.
Tyghter-Johnson scored four points late for Windsor to pull them within three points and the Mustangs continued to lead, 35-32 at the half
Kuon gave Windsor their second lead of game with a three-pointer early in the third quarter.
The Lancers extended the lead to eight before Western went on an eight-point run to tie the game at 43.
Another three from Andre Smyth, who had seven points to start the second half after a scoreless opening half, gave the Lancers the lead again 46-44 in what became a physical game. He finished with eight points but ran into foul trouble.
The Lancers led 51-49 after three quarters and opened up a nine-point lead early in the fourth as Western went on a cold shooting lapse.
Barbeau and Wedemire led the Mustangs comeback charge and Wedemire scored despite being doubled in the point and hit the "and-one" from the free-throw line to give Western a 66-64 lead with just under three minutes left.
But the Lancers rode the hot shooting of Kuon and Collins from outside to come back.
Trailing 74-70 with Barbeau trying to inbound, referees assessed Western with a five-second violation the in-bound attempt which sealed the win for Windsor.
The Mustangs host the Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks (4-5) on Jan. 9 at Alumni Hall at 3 p.m.

Mustangs Defeat RIT 79-65
Box Score
Western enjoyed a 12-point run over a six-minute period in the second quarter to lead by 14 points at the half, 42-28. Wedemire, who picked up two fouls before the midway part of the first quarter, played just nine minutes in the opening half, scored Western's first six points and when on the floor was quite effective.
The Mustangs led 62-42 after the third quarter, but R.I.T. pulled within eight points midway through the fourth quarter thanks to five straight points from Scott Young (Almond, N.Y.) - a trey under pressure and a jumper. Young finished with a team high 12 points but was the only player on R.I.T. in double-digit scoring.
The Tigers bench played very well in the second half, giving them a major lift in the fourth quarter, but Western staved off the run when Wedemire checked back into the game. Along with guard Ryan Barbeau (Belleville, Ont.), Wedemire scored key baskets to stop the R.I.T. run.
The host Mustangs held a 14-2 advantage scoring points in the paint in the opening half, and they outscored the Tigers 24-6 in the paint for the entire game.
Western's David Harder (Copenhagen, Denmark) was solid with 15 points and seven boards, while Garrett Olexiuk (Burlington, Ont.) added 13 points and eight rebounds. Barbeau finished with seven points and six assists, along with a steal, while Marcus Barnett (Hampton, Va.) had 11 points. Brendan Harder (Oneonta, N.Y.) added 10 boards for the Tigers.
The Mustangs (5-3, T-3rd OUA West) travel to play at Windsor on Jan. 6 at 8 p.m. before returning home to Alumni Hall to host Wilfrid Laurier at 3 p.m. on Jan. 9.
