THREE THINGS
1. VJM went down big early and never got closer than seven points.
2. With the win, Nazareth finished tied for third in the AACA with St. Basil, which pulled a shocking upset of Mount St. Joseph on Thursday to knock VJM from the four-team AACA playoffs. Mount had been unbeaten in the AACA and ranked No. 1 in the state in Class AAA. VJM (14-8, 8-6) finished in fifth place, one game behind Nazareth and St. Basil.
3. While sitting on the stairs at Nazareth waiting to conduct interviews after the game, I leaned back and hit my head on a concrete wall. That's why this is so short. Sorry. Ouch.
