MBB: Huskies Open Second Half of Season with a Sweep

SASKATOON, SK – After an exciting game Friday evening with the Saskatchewan Huskies coming out on top over the University of British Columbia Okanagan Heat 79-74, the two teams were ready to battle it out for a second round at Ron & Jane Graham Centre Court at the Physical Activity Complex Saturday evening.

Chan De Ciman would lead the Huskies through the quarter, scoring 9 points in 9 point attempts, outscoring the Heat 29-20 by the end of the quarter.

  • Both teams would continue to push through the second, but the Huskies would keep the Heat at bay, holding a 10-point lead for a large portion of the quarter, finishing the half with a 57-48 lead over the Heat. Alexander Dewar (SSK) would lead the scoring at the half, putting up 19 points in the first 20 minutes.

  • Saskatchewan would continue to control the game in the third. Both teams' efforts were apparent, but the Heat could not keep pace with the Huskies, finding themselves in a 16-point defecate (78-62) in the final minutes of play in the third. 

  • The Heat would continue to push pack, bringing the game back within 5 scoring opportunities after five minutes of play in the fourth, but the Huskies would close out the game 98-83.
