Bibeau bites Bishop's as Redmen cagers claim conference lead
MONTREAL (Jan. 30/14) -- Co-captain Simon Bibeau scored a game-high 21 points as No.8-ranked McGill waltzed to a convincing 80-67 victory over visiting Bishop's in a battle for the RSEQ men's basketball division lead at Love Competition Hall, Thursday.
The result, McGill's fourth straight decision over Bishop's, moved the Redmen (7-2) into sole possession of first place, two points ahead of BU, which dropped to 6-3. It was McGill's second victory in as many meetings this season with the Gaiters.
