Carleton dynasty continues with 16th W.P. McGee Trophy win - Apr 4, 2022

The most dominant dynasty in the history of U SPORTS basketball gained yet another laurel on Sunday evening when the Carleton Ravens defeated the Saskatchewan Huskies 85-72 to win their 16th W.P. McGee Trophy, and third-straight national championship victory, Sunday evening at the Saville Centre. Third-year guard Aiden Warnholtz (188-G) led the way for the champs, flirting with a triple-double recording 18 points to go with nine rebounds and eight assists. He was flanked by U SPORTS Player of the Year Lloyd Pandi (193-F-1999, college: Carleton)i who recorded a double-double himself with 16 points and 13 rebounds. 'It's been a long haul. Three games in three days, and we spent a lot of energy last night,' said Ravens head coach Taffe Charles. 'We fell down early and had to battle back. And I think that woke our guys up a bit. The Huskies played a heck of a game, and they battled tonight.' The Huskies saw bright spots in the play of guard Alexander Dewar (190-G-2000), who had a game-high 27 points, and Maxwell Amoafo (201-F-1996) who came close to a double-double with 10 points and nine rebounds. 'This one means more. They ranked us No. 7, and that gave us extra fuel. I'm really proud of the guys. We fought hard for this one,' said Tournament MVP Alain Louis (185-G-1998, college: Carleton). 'We played Carleton basketball. Everybody has a role, and I'm so proud of this group.' The Ravens were dominant on both ends of the floor, shooting 45.9 percent from the field compared to the Huskies' 38.5. The presence on the glass was again a key factor to Carleton's success, outrebounding Saskatchewan by a 54-36 margin. The Huskies started hot, going on an 11-2 run largely on the back of Dewar. The Ravens were quick to respond, however, going on an 8-0 run led by Warnholtz to exit the quarter up 22-21. In the second quarter, the Ravens began to heat up on offence. Warnholtz hit a pair of threes and scored eight second-quarter points to push the Ravens to a 45-31 lead at halftime. Marquavian Stephens (190-G, college: Southwestern, CA), who has had a fantastic weekend averaging 20.0 points per game, led the Huskies back from a 32-point deficit early in the third quarter to cut the Ravens' lead to just 19 heading into the final quarter. Saskatchewan fought to the last whistle, going on a 20-3 run to cut the Ravens' lead to just nine points. That was as close as they would get, however, as Louis and the Ravens hit some clutch free throws to put the game to rest.

Jenkins tallies double-double as McGill wins 14th straight to capture RSEQ championship over Concordia - Mar 29, 2022

Sam Jenkins (190-G) registered a double-double as McGill extended its record win streak to 14 en route to capturing the RSEQ men's university basketball championship with a 48-46 thriller over Concordia, Saturday.
It was the 11th men's title for McGill since the Quebec hoops league was formed in 1972-73 and the sixth crown over the past nine seasons but their first since 2018.
With the victory, the Redbirds punched their ticket to the U SPORTS Final 8 national championship in Edmonton, April 1-3. This marks the ninth lifetime appearance for McGill at the national tournament (excluding four regional tourneys) and the team's first since 2018. Their best result was a fourth-place finish in 1977, 2016 and 2018.
"It was the perfect ending to a perfect season," said an emotional Ryan Thorne, in his second year but first official season at the helm of the Redbirds after 17 years with the McGill women's program. "It was just a blessing to have gotten through this COVID season healthy. I lost two uncles and a father-in-law in 2021 so to be healthy at ths time was just amazing.... Just to be back playing basketball, a sport that we love and I have been involved in for so many years is a blessing. And to have the honour to have this group of guys and be a part of them is a blessing."
The game was declared a sell-out two days before tip-off -- a first in the storied school's history of athletics -- and a pandemic-restricted crowd of 612 attended the event at Love Competition Hall.
The combined tally of 94 points was the lowest-scoring final in Quebec men's league history -- with neither team reaching the 50-point plateau -- and the lowest points ever scored by McGill in any victory since the post-war era.
Jenkins, a 23-year-old physical education senior from Hamilton, Ont., converted a nifty pass from teammate Sidney Gauthier (188-G) to give McGill a 48-44 lead with 63 seconds remaining in regulation time. Concordia reduced the cushion to two points when Olivier Cadieux (193-F, college: Fairfield) made a reverse layup with 13.4 seconds left.
"Honestly, the undefeated record doesn't mean that much to us," said Jenkins, who scored a game-high 19 points and pulled down 10 rebounds. "We just wanted to get out of the conference and get to play those three games next weekend," said Jenkins.
The 6-foot-3, 192-pound guard shot 7-for-17 from the field, including a 3-for-10 effort from three-point range, and went 2-for-7 at the free-throw line. He added four assists and a steal.
If McGill meets Queen's at the Nationals, the game would feature a matchup of brothers as Scott Jenkins (180-PG), Sam's younger brother, is a sophomore guard with the Gaels, who have qualified as OUA silver medalists.
"Oh man, that's going to be bragging rights forever," hypothesized the elder Jenkins, who was on the wrong end of 71-64 decision against the Gaels on Oct. 16, 2021. "We already lost the first meeting against him so I really want the next one."
The Redbirds jumped into an impressive start, winning the opening quarter by a lopsided 17-5 margin. But Concordia bounced back to win the second period 16-9 as the teams went into the halftime break with a 26-21 advantage for the Redbirds. McGill took the third quarter 13-11 but the Stingers won the final frame 14-9.
"The key thing that I was worried about in the last minute was 'just don't give up the three and put yourself down'," confided Thorne, who will be making his 11th trip overall to the Nationals, including three as a player with Bishop's, seven as head coach of the McGill women's program. "I thought that we could have played out an overtime and would have been fine. The refs weren't calling any fouls so I wasn't concerned about that in an overtime."
Joining Jenkins in the double-digit scorers was Jamal Mayali (185-G-1998), the league's scoring champion and player of the year, who was limited to 10 points and three rebounds. Teammate Quarry Whyne added nine points in just 20 minutes of court time.
"The biggest thing on our mind in the last few seconds (when Concordia had the ball) was getting a big stop," said Mayali. "Nothing else was in our heads but to make sure we secure the ball, (draw) a foul and make sure we make those free-throws at the other end. It went all the way down to the wire but that's what we needed to do in order to win and we were victorious... We've been in in these clutch situations many times this season and because of that, we stay calm and focussed."
" (That) was the biggest thing. A lot of times, the adversity and the pressure (can interfere), especially when we've got a big target on our backs the way we did going undefeated all season. So we had to stay calm, trust in one another, make sure that we believe in our coach and everything that we've been working on all year and be confident in it... This is just the first step. We've got nationals and we want to set the tone across the country. No one respects the RSEQ. We want to be out there and show everyone that we are the best."
Leading the way for Concordia was all-star forward Olivier Simon (201-F/C) with a double-double of his own, scoring 14 points and 10 rebounds.But Simon missed a game-winning trey attempt at the buzzer after it was in-bounded with 1.4 seconds left.
The top two defences in the conference played havoc with the shooting game for both sides. McGill shot an uncharacteristically low 31.5 per cent from the field (17/54), 26.9 from downtown (7/26) and only 36.8 from the free-throw line (7/19). Concordia shot 30.5 (18/59), 20.0 (4/20) and 75 percent (6/8), respectively.
McGill, which will find out their tournament seeding and opening-round matchup at Nationals on Sunday, are slated to depart Tuesday for Edmonton. the Redbirds will enter the tourney with a 15-3 record overall, including preseason play and their team record 14-game win streak.

Vikes complete CW title campaign with resounding defensive victory over host Bears - Mar 20, 2022

The Victoria Vikes have captured their 15th Canada West championship with a 70-64 victory over the host Alberta Golden Bears in a wire-to-wire battle.
It was an uncharacteristic defensive battle between the top two scoring offences in the conference. The Vikes handed the Golden Bears their first loss of the 2021-22 campaign with the victory. It is also the third straight CW gold medal game loss at home for the Bears, who have struggled to turn regular season dominance into title success in the period.
Vikes captain and CW first-teamer Scott Kellum (185-G) led all scorers with 20 points. For him, the defensive effort was not a surprise.
'All the work we put in during the offseason built the trust we have in each other. We knew a couple of shots weren't going to fall, but we knew we were going to get our stops on defence until the shots would fall in.'
They held the Bears to a season-low 35.3 field goal percentage, including a 6/26 night from three. But Alberta was solid in the inverse, holding the Vikes to a near-equal 35.9 percent mark.
It was a raucous crowd in the Saville Centre main gym in easily the loudest atmosphere seen in the Bears home this season. The Vikes were prepared for it, however, and Kellum notes that they even relished it.
'We came in and we were excited to play, this atmosphere whether for or against you is fun to play in. We knew we would have to rely on our defence tonight and that the offence would come after.'
2021-22 CW Player of the Year Tyus Jefferson (183-PG, college: Treasure Valley) was the cog for the Bears, scoring a team high 13 points and shot 60% from the field.
The first quarter was defined by a series of runs. Alberta quickly jumped out to a 9-2 lead thanks to Jefferson making three straight field goals. It would not last, however, as the Vikes would respond later in the quarter with an 8-0 run to go up 18-15 spurred on by a complete depth scoring effort; eight of the nine Vikes to see the floor in the quarter scored at least two points. Riding off of the dominant run the Vikes would exit the first up 18-15.
Both squads would struggle to get anything going in the second, owing to a ramped up defensive effort that saw no shot uncontested. It was here that we were able to see the defensive capabilities of these two offensively dominant squads. The score creeped upwards until a minute remained in the quarter when Bears guard Geoffrey James (185-G) had a five-point explosion over the course of two possessions; an open three and then a rim-rattling dunk that brought the decibels up in the Saville Centre. The Bears would maintain the lead into the half, 28-26.
The third would see the defensive intensity maintained after the break, but the Vikes were able to piece together a nice scoring run to get back on top. And while veterans Jefferson, James, and Cole Knudsen (203-F) would piece together scoring possessions to keep Alberta in the game, it was Victoria who started to grab control of momentum. The play of Kellum and all-rookie guard Elias Ralph was instrumental in the Vikes 52-44 lead at the end of the quarter.
The fourth truly lived up to a CW championship calibre. At the five minute mark the margin had not moved an inch, with both squads trading baskets. The Vikes Matthew Ellis (201-F) and the Bears Adam Paige (203-F-2000) battled on many possessions, including a sequence where they matched up three times in a row with the Vikes letting Ellis play iso-ball on the third-year Alberta forward. He finished the quarter with eight points.
For the first time really this season, the Bears looked flustered in what was a truly impressive defensive effort from Victoria.
With thirty seconds remaining, and against a driving Lars Ishimwe who was money in the paint this season, Vikes guard Aaron Tesfagiorgis (190-G) made the defensive play of the game; a charge which would ensure a seven point lead would not be relinquished.

Tigers celebrate three-peat with AUS championship win over Panthers - Mar 28, 2022

It took a fourth-quarter comeback in two-straight games but the Dalhousie Tigers are AUS champions once more.
Dalhousie defeated the UPEI Panthers 84-78 in the 2022 Subway AUS Basketball Championship final in front of a crowd of 4,893 fans. This marked their third-straight banner and sixth title in the past seven championship tournaments.
Subway player of the game Shamar Burrows (190-G-1997) (Nassau, Bahamas) picked up where he left off in the semifinal, with early baskets for the Tigers. The fourth-year guard was instrumental in the comeback semifinal win on Saturday and it was more of the same in the final as he posted 19 points and added 13 rebounds in the win.
Panthers' first team all-star Elijah Miller (183-PG) (Rexdale, Ont.) continued his high-scoring ways, making the first basket of the final after scoring more than 30 points the previous two nights. The first team all-star had 13 points in the final.
Second-year Panther Glen Cox (193-G/F) (Scotsburn, N.S.) made the final basket of the first quarter, sinking a shot from outside the arc as he dominated with 15 points in the first.UPEI led by 10 points after 10 minutes.
Dalhousie came out with energy in the second quarter, with all-star guard Keevan Veinot (193-G, college: Dalhousie) (Port Williams, N.S.) sinking a three. The Tigers brought it to within one possession, but UPEI was able to reply with timely baskets to keep the lead.
Two baskets from the free-throw line and a slam dunk by Christian Tabiri (198-F) (North York, Ont.) were highlight plays in a run of 10 unanswered points by the Panthers.
UPEI was up 49-35 at halftime, with 26 of those points coming from second-year guard Cox. Burrows led the way for the Tigers, with eight points and six rebounds.
It was Burrows providing the spark for the Dalhousie to start the second half, with a steal and dunk, then a layup after a key stop.
Keevan Veinot powered through the paint with a slam dunk in the third quarter to make it a two-point game, prompting a timeout from UPEI and a roar from the Dalhousie fans and his bench just a few meters away. Veinot finished with 19 points, nine assists and three rebounds.
Glen Cox responded after the timeout with a layup, then made two free throws to give the Panthers more breathing room. The four points were part of 32 points for Cox in the final.
UPEI held a 63-56 lead going into the fourth quarter, with the Tigers outscoring the Panthers 21-14.
Dalhousie's Alex Carson (196-G-1998, college: Dalhousie) (Lower Sackville) and Veinot with back-to-back threes to start the quarter. Dakelle Brooks (190-G) (East Preston, N.S.) responded for the Panthers with a trey of his own.
Another Carson three followed by a layup from Samuel Wade (201-F) (Wallace, N.S) gave the Tigers its first lead of the half with 7:43 remaining in the game.
While the Panthers were efficient from the free-throw line in the fourth quarter-going 19 for 23 (82.6%) on the day-they were unable to claw back a lead.
Dalhousie's Keevan Veinot was named tournament MVP, just hours after his twin sister Jayda Veinot (183-F-1998) (Port Wallace, N.S.) won the same award in the women's final as she led the Acadia Axewomen to an AUS banner.
Veinot and his teammate Alex Carson were both named to the tournament all-star team. UPEI's Glen Cox and Elijah Miller also made the team, along with Cole Long (201-C, college: Detroit) (St. John's, Nfld.) of the Memorial Sea-Hawks.

Banner Season: Badgers impress on home court to cap off OUA season with Wilson Cup win - Mar 28, 2022

The Brock men's basketball team ended a 30-year championship drought on Saturday, March 26.
The last time the Brock men's basketball team won a provincial championship, Brian Mulroney was Prime Minister, gas was 50 cents per litre and the Toronto Blue Jays were just months away from capturing their first World Series.
The No. 4 Badgers vanquished the No. 9 Queen's Gaels by a score of 95-75 during the Ontario University Athletics (OUA) Wilson Cup Men's Basketball Championship in front of a sold-out crowd at Bob Davis Gymnasium in St. Catharines.
In just his second complete season as head coach, Willy Manigat (180-PG-1987, college: Carleton) and the Badgers hoisted the Wilson Cup.
"We fight. Every day is about fight, every day is about discipline, and every day is about being the best versions of ourselves," said Manigat, who joined Brock in 2019. "When you're doing that every day then these games feel like battles, and you build comradery. We have student-athletes that understand that. Understanding it's about buying in and doing their best. It's a credit to them."
The last, and only, time Brock won the Ontario conference championship was during the 1991-92 season when Brock defeated Concordia 111-87 in Waterloo.
On Saturday, the Badgers looked invincible as they outscored the Gaels in every quarter but the third which they tied 25-25.
TJ Lall (198-F-1994, college: Carleton), who was named MVP of the OUA West, proved the voters right by leading all scorers with 27 points, eight rebounds and six assists.
A trio of senior Badgers posted double-digit points: Daniel Caldwell (183-PG) went four-for-four from beyond the arc to finish with 17 points, while Godsman Kwakwah (198-F) and Kascius Small-Martin (188-G) each scored 15 and 12 points, respectively.
"We didn't even know if we were going to have a season this year, so to have it and win it all is unreal. It's a dream come true, honestly," said Small-Martin, who enrolled at Brock in 2017. "We just stuck to the plan, stuck to the script and worked hard day in and day out and we got the job done."
The Badgers are now preparing for the U SPORTS Men's Basketball Championships in Edmonton, Alberta from April 1-3.
"I'm excited for my players, having these guys enjoy this process, and to get to this stage and just treat it like every other day, it's all about buy-in and you don't have championship teams without buy-in," added Manigat. "We want to continue to build on this and it starts with our next practice because we still have practices to go."
