Despite being down 15-2 in the first six minutes of the game, CM roared back and took a 38-34 lead into the locker room at halftime.  This was the third game in as many days for the home team and it showed in the early going.    CM seemed a bit lethargic and a step behind for most of the first half.  It took some excellent bench play to inject some much needed energy into the line-up.  Utilizing twelve players with constant full court pressure and continuous rotations proved effective to wear down Paul Smith's stellar guards Devon Carr and Shiva Senthil.  Justin Cocroft got CM moving with 4 first half threes and finished the contest with 22 points.  Edward Little graduate Brandon Giguere shot five for eight from the floor to knock down 13 points. Samson Olayemi again led CM with 17 points, 6 rebounds, and dished out 4 assists.  The Mustangs go into the Thanksgiving break with a 7-3 record and a 4-0 Yankee Conference record.
