SBVC player missing, at least so far

The San Bernardino Valley College men’s basketball team is on the court getting ready for a 7 p.m., game against Chula Vista Southwestern., One player is no where to be found, at least not yet. That’s Maurice McGee.

The only reason it’s a little odd is that coach Quincy Brewer benched him for last Saturday’s game because he was late showing up for pregame. The Wolverines won without him. Brewer was disappointed because he said McGee had the best week of practice he has had in his two years at the school.

I’ll definitely be checking into that situation. McGee is the team’s leading scorer. The Wolverines have a lot of depth so they can win without him but it will be tougher. Then again it might be better because having a player not on the same page with the rest of the team can also be a distraction.

If Brewer did kick him off the team it’s an admirable move for a team with so much on the line. But it also shows that the coach doesn’t put up with crap from anyone.

SBVC has won 19 games in a row but Souithwestern is no slouch. It has won 18 straight.Southwestern has a very large (a round) player in Charles Joseph. But the Wolverines have three athletic big men to throw at him, even without McGee,

We’ll see

Well Maurice is here. He wasn’t out on the court early when players were shooting around but did come out for the final few minutes. He is not starting though. We’ll see when and if he makes his first appearance in the game.

McGee made his first entrance with 11:20 left in the first half. He ended up playing 17 minutes (of the 40) with nine points, six rebounds and two blocks.
