The University of Winnipeg Wesmen extended their winning streak to three games with a 78-68 win over the UNBC Timberwolves in Canada West men’s basketball Friday afternoon at the Charles Jago Northern Sport Centre.
Forward Mikhail Mikhailov led Winnipeg in scoring and rebounding dropping 18 points and picking up 12 rebounds as they improved to 10-3 and stay in the first-place race in Canada West.
In the third quarter, Shittu threw down an electrifying dunk, taking off halfway down the lane and finishing with authority. “It helps a lot,” Timberwolves guard Justin Sunga said of the packed house. “It would have been better if we played better the whole game. But it was nice to have them come out.”“It’s always good to have so many fans watching and enjoying both teams,” he said. “I’m really glad they came out and supported UNBC and us.”
The Timberwolves' offence found its footing in the second half, cutting what was a 26-point Wesmen lead in the third down to 14 midway through the fourth quarter. They got to within 10 in the final minute but were unable to close the gap enough as they dropped their fifth straight game and fell to 5-8 on the year.
