at St. Norbert 47 La Crosse 43 In the first game of the St. Norbert Holiday Tournament, the Eagles ran into a strong, defensive-minded ballclub that is similar to themself. After a lethargic first half by both teams that can be attributed to a two week vacation for the holidays, La Crosse lead something like 18-17. In the second half, La Crosse managed to get a seven point lead, but down the stretch it slipped away as St. Norbert's went on a run to take the lead for good and hold on for a victory. The game was not without drama. Near the end, the ref first took away a point from St. Norberts, and then after much conferencing, and a check of the videotape , the point was re-added and La Crosse was made down four instead of three. Still, in the closing seconds, La Crosse had a chance to tie it but couldn't find the bottom of the net before time expirred. Melvin Veasley led the Eagles with 14 points and 13 rebounds. Eric Dudek, playing in his hometown of DePere struggled and only had 4 points if I counted correctly. Also, two ex high school teammates (at Homestead High in Mequon, WI) of mine on St. Norberts struggled. Josh Johnson did manage five points in limited time, and Brandon Watkins played the point for about ten to fifteen minutes. With the loss, La Crosse dropped to 7-3. The crowd was estimated at about 230 people in this January 2nd game.
