by Andy Watson - Mustangs Athletics

LONDON, Ont. - Western Mustangs men's basketball head coach Bradley Campbell is pleased to announce guard Andrew Vincent (Timmins, Ont.) and forward Luke Braund (Vancouver, B.C.) have committed to the Western Mustangs men's basketball program for the 2010-11 season.

Players who commit to Mustangs teams will be eligible to play at Western provided they are academically admissible to The University of Western Ontario and have applied through the normal process with the Ontario Application Centre in Guelph, Ont.

Vincent, a 6-0 combination guard from the Timmins High and Vocational School Blues, led his squad to three straight AA OFSAA Championships out of the NEOAA region.

"He can score and set up his teammates," Campbell said. "Andrew is a good athlete who can defend and play both guard spots. He also has a high basketball IQ."

This weekend, Vincent and his high school teammates from Timmins finished fourth at OFSAA Double-A provincials, making the Final 4 for the second straight year. Vincent had a 27-point effort in a 68-57 win over the St. Francis Phoenix. The Blues lost 69-64 to St. Thomas Aquinas in the semifinal, with 18 points coming from a well-defended Vincent.

Braund is a 6-6 transfer from Trinity Western and was considered one of the top high school players graduating from the province of British Columbia in 2008-2009.

A member of his St. Georges High School provincial championship squad in 2009, he red-shirted at Trinity Western, making him immediately eligible to compete at Western in September, 2010.

"Luke is a versatile forward who can score inside and also shoot the ball," Campbell said.
"We are very excited both Andrew and Luke will be joining our program."

Wedemire and Barbeau Selected OUA West All-Stars

4th yr forward Andrew Wedemire and 3rd yr guard Ryan Barbeau were selected OUA West All-Stars. Wedemire selected to the OUA West 1st Team, had an outstanding season averaging 19.2 ppg and 7.8 rpg. "Andy was the most dominant post player in the OUA West this past season" said Coach Campbell.

Barbeau selected to the OUA West 2nd Team, had a break out season averaging 14.8 ppg, 3.9 rpg and also lead the OUA West in assists. "Ryan had a tremendous season. He became one of the top lead guards in the OUA and continued to make players on our team better with his ability to pass and break down defenses" Coach Campbell commented.

Western 70, Laurier 89

Tonight was not the Western Mustang's night ending with an upset to Laurier 70-89. Both Ryan Barbeau and Andy Wedemire put up 22 points in this game but it was not enough to defeat the Goldenhawks. This was the final game for senior Jason Milliquet with no years of eligibility left. "We picked the worst time to play our worst game. We were flat and go down early and could not recover." Coach Brad Campbell.
