Mentor closes the regular season with a very shaky win on Friday over Chaney followed by probably their best win of the season tonight against St Ignatius. I'm not sure what was going on against Chaney, but that game stayed close throughout. Chaney is not a bad team by any stretch (#3 seed at their DII district), but Mentor was probably at least a 20-point favorite. Whether it was matchup problems, cold shooting, first full game without Kipp, or looking ahead to St Ignatius - Mentor had their hands full.
Tonight, Mentor was in control against St Ignatius from the start. The final score (58-33). Mentor's defense was on point all night. The offense got some better shooting too, which is always a good thing. St Ignatius is a team very capable of making it to Columbus, even if they didn't show that this weekend in losses against Jackson and Mentor. During the season they collected wins over St Eds, Medina, Shaker, Brush, Richmond Heights, Walsh Jesuit, and Cleveland Heights.
With 19 games being played, Mentor finishes the regular season undefeated. It is their first undefeated season under Krizancic, and probably the first undefeated season ever for the program. While the winning percentage is obviously the best, the team from two seasons ago set the program record for regular season wins with their 20-2 regular season (Chicone was a starting sophomore on the team). In Chicone's three years in the starting lineup, his teams went 55-8. Seven tournament wins so far pushed that overall record to 62-9 if I'm doing my math right.
