Things did not go as planned for CMU on Thursday night, as the 3rd-ranked Blazers slid to a 105-76 defeat at the hands of the Providence Pilots in the 2019-20 MCAC Men's Basketball semifinal and Red River College.
Without the services of rookie forward and team-leading rebounder, Pacifique Jubilate who was sidelined with an ankle injury, head coach Scott Martin was forced to shake up his starting lineup that was coming off an impressive 18-point win against the Pilots less than two weeks ago. The inside absence of Jubilate proved to be an immediate concern as the Pilots took an early lead, out-rebounding CMU most obviously on the offensive glass. Providence point guard Bryant Smith was the early benefactor, driving the lane and grabbing his own rebound thee times before teammate Daniel Kilmartin finished the play to open a 12-6 lead for the Pilots; two of Kilmartin's 10 first half points.
