LONDON Ont. - The Western men's basketball team will tip-off against the sixth place Brock Badgers on Feb.3 at Bob Davis Gymnasium in St. Catherines. The last meeting between the two teams was on Jan.16 where Brock defeated the Mustangs by a score of 80-85. As the men enter the last six games of the regular season, Western currently sits fourth in the OUA West division two points behind McMaster. To breakdown the playoff picture, if playoffs were to start today, Western would hold home court advantage for being fourth in the division (third and fourth place receive home court advantage.) If they were to move into first or second, they would receive a buy in the first round of playoff games.
After coming off back-to-back wins on Jan 27. against Waterloo and Jan 30. against Wilfred Laurier, the Mustangs will face Brock who also are coming off a one point win over Guelph this past Saturday and will no doubt be looking for another win over the Mustangs.
The play of Ryan Barbeau( Belleville, Ont.) and Andrew Wedemire( Sarnia, Ont.) has been strong as of late both leading the team to a win over Laurier on Jan 30. 78-70. Wedemire netted 24 points for the Mustangs while Barbeau and Garrett Olexiuk(Burlington, Ont.) both contributed 15 points each. Wedemire leads his team in points with 302, and sits in sixth place in the OUA standings.
The Mustangs will return home to face Guelph on Feb. 6 at Alumni Hall at 3 p.m. Tickets can be purchased at the door or at www.westernmustangs.ca . Students can get in free with their student ID.
