There’s no place like home for the Varsity Blues men’s basketball team. The Blues remain undefeated at the AC Sports Gym in the regular season. Their latest home wins came on Jan. 23 and 24 against the Laurentian Voyageurs and the York Lions, respectively.

The Blues’ 84-63 victory against the Voyageurs was fueled by a stellar third quarter where the team outscored Laurentian 20-5. “I thought we defended much better in the second half,” said head coach Mike Katz. “Laurentian played a solid first half, but in the third quarter we just dominated defensively and that was the difference […] I’m very happy with the effort of the whole team.”

The Blues put forth another great effort in their following game against the York Lions, defeating their cross-town rivals 78-66. Five Blues tallied double figures, led by guard Rob Paris with a game-high 18 points. Forward Pat Sewell had 14 points and 10 rebounds, while centre Andrew Wasik added 10 points and a game-high 11 rebounds.

The team returns home next weekend to battle the two best teams in the nation, the Carleton Ravens and the Ottawa Gee-Gees.
