The Timberwolves hit the road next week for a two-game set against Mount Royal in Calgary
The University of Northern British Columbia Timberwolves battled against one of the top teams in Canada West but fell 94-72 on Saturday afternoon in men’s basketball action at the Charles Jago Northern Sport Centre.
The Timberwolves looked to be making a run early in the third quarter. Down five, the home side was set to inbound with only four seconds left on the shot clock. Micah Jesse took the pass with a defender draped all over him. Unable to get to the basket, he stepped back to the USPORTS logo and launched a buzzer-beating three. He made it, the Timberwolves got a quick turnover and a Shittu layup tied the game at 46.
The Timberwolves battled to try to cut the deficit, with Shittu getting the crowd on its feet with a block at one end and collecting his own rebound at the other. It was Shittu’s first miss from the field after making his first nine shots, two of them from long range. Winnipeg’s offence was buoyed by efficient three-point shooting – 10 for 24 as a team – and taking advantage of points off turnovers. Mikhail Mikhailov scored 25, Gordo potted 16 and Shawn Maranan added 12.
