 Stevenson defeats Merchant Marine 75-68 in the championship game of the Buffalo Wild Wings Classic. Glenn Clark with Stevenson head coach Gary Stewart. Coach your team at a 15-point lead in the second half that evaporated. What did they do to rally back and finish this one off to win the title? Yeah, that went quicker than a New Year's resolution of losing weight, didn't it? 15 points and all of a sudden you turn around and you're in a tug of war. But we knew that it was going to be a 40-minute game and we lost some defensive intensity and they capitalized. Early in the first half we were getting to the three-point line running the shooters off the line. Second half they penetrated and then we got too deep for whatever reason we're helping off on the perimeter and they capitalized on it. We can always talk about Dan Zell right? It was great again tonight but I want to talk about a couple other guys. Marcus Dantley with a double-double tonight 10 points 13 rebounds. I thought he was really huge. Yeah, Marcus was terrific. I thought he was the best guy in the tournament. Two nights, both double-doubles and some key situations. You go back to the last night where he puts the ball into the post, he cuts to the basket, he scores a critical layup and an N-1. Today he got an offensive rebound that was critical. And his defensive rebounding was excellent. So he's playing his best basketball at the most opportune time. And the guy who really came on as the game went along and finished at the rim was Mark Terrell who finished in double figures as well. Yeah, I was trying to get him mad at me because usually when I do that he's tough inside and he had a huge basket for us and capable. He's got a great touch and really skilled down there. We got to do a better job of getting him the ball. But he could really be an asset for us moving forward. Just give me your thoughts on the event in general. You get a couple of wins, which obviously I think is going to leave you feeling pretty good about the event after you pick up wins last night and today. Yeah, I think as a coach I wish we played in it all the time. We had a lot of things right on this. We now have our longest winning streak of the year. We finished December in the state of Maryland. Nobody has more wins at the Division III level than us. So that was important to get us back to where we are accustomed to playing. And good competition. And obviously Medgar Evers is totally different than Merchant Marine. And that helps us because we're going to see different styles this week starting with Messiah and then working our way into Saturday. So hopefully we've got a lot on tape here that we can learn from and benefit from. Let's leave it this. You mentioned you get back into conference play in Messiah on Wednesday. Give me a New Year's resolution for the Stevenson men's basketball team in 2018. Well, I would say to our fans, get out and see us play because we've got a lot of exciting basketball. I think we're an exciting team and the way that we play. And I would hope that those out there would commit to being here every Wednesday and Saturday if we're at home. Very good. Coach Gary Stewart, congratulations on the victory and the tournament championship. And happy New Year to you. We'll see you on Wednesday night. Same to you, Glenn. He is Coach Gary Stewart.
