The 2008-2009 LMU Gators clinched the Manhattan B-3 division today with a decisive 13 point victory over the HS for Math, Science, and Engineering. Unable to play was defensive stopper and starting Point Guard Sam Becker, who suffered an injury to his right forearm in Friday's loss to Graphics. Stepping up in his absence was junior Cassius Naylor, who contributed 6 assists.Terrick "The Big 5-0" Waiters was a monster on the boards, hauling in 19 rebounds and adding 10 points for yet another double-double. Although ecstatic with a division title, Waiters remains hungry--"I can't believe it. I never thought I would see this day come. Winning the division is good, but it is not good enough for the 5-0." With just one game left before the Gators begin their journey to a B division Championship, questions remain if they can be the same successful team without Sam Becker. Waiters acknowledges Becker's skills but remains positive as the Gators' remarkable regular season comes to a close--"Sam is a hell of a player. We are going to miss his defensive pressure and his ability to expose weak guards, but this is just a little adversity that the team has to overcome. This means that the next man will have to fill Sam's shoes until he gets back."
