The OUA’s new three-division format prompts a revised playoff format. Rather than use RPI (or any other objective measure of comparison) and in a shameless bid to protect the weaker Central and Western divisions in their efforts to make the national uSports draw, the OUA awards the top four seeds, and an opening round bye, to each of the divisional champs, with the fourth-seed awarded to the team with next best record. The top four seeds are: Carleton (1); Lakehead (2); Western (3); and Ottawa (4). The format ensures that the two teams with the best record in the OUA are placed in the same half of the draw, proving that OUA burghers are sillier than the British Royal family. The remaining seeds are based strictly on winning percentage, even though the divisions are of unequal strength and schedules are imbalanced. Ties are resolved through standard OUA tie-breaking rules.

In the opening round of the playoffs: ………………………………………………… The 5th-seeded Ryerson Rams clocked the 12th-seeded Guelph Gryphons 109-63 after leading 31-14, 57-30 and 80-46 at the quarters. Rams coach Borko Popic said his troops were determined to better a six-point win over the Gryphons during the regular season. “Last game was a bit of a wakeup call. Our guys were locked in from the get-go (tonight), they knew the opponent they were facing, and we play with an energy and competitive spirit from the beginning.” Keevon Small said “this is Ryerson basketball.We’re on our home court, we got our home court fans and we’re pretty much just locked in.” Tevaun Kokko said “we followed what the coaches said, executed the game plan, and had a good shoot-around. We just stayed committed to how we played the last few games, and got back to what we’ve been doing.” Popic said “we have a lot of depth in our team. They are able to capitalize when they get opportunities and it was good to see, it’s always good to play a variety of players.” The Gryphons played without leading scorer Malcolm Glanville, who was serving a one-game suspension for picking up his fifth technical of the campaign (a violation of OUA rules) during the regular season finale, and Tommy Yanchus, who blew out his knee in January.

So this game, we tried to push the pedal on the gas and keep rolling on them and try our best to maintain it and build good habits” said Haroun Mohamed. Guard Curtis Gordon said the difference was “just a lot of energy.

We lost to them previously this season and we were going to come out and prove that we are the better team. … On the defensive side of the ball, we were not stopping the ball (in the fourth quarter) and were not executing on offense and picked it back up and made sure that the run was not that big.” Kadre Gray paced Laurentian with 19 on 6-9 from the floor, 3-5 from the arc, 4-4 from the line, 8 boards, 5 assists and 4 steals.

Hawk guard Ali Sow, though, kept draining treys to draw Laurier within 39-37 at the half. Lakehead maintained a narrow 53-50 lead after three quarters. Sow notched a coast-to-coast layup to draw the Hawks within one with five minutes to play. Sow gave them the lead on a trey but Lakehead notched a bucket to trim the margin to two with 7.9 seconds to play. Kemel Archer iced the win with a pair of free throws. Hawks coach Justin Serresse said “in the second quarter, Lakehead was getting deep into the lane and going right downhill which is what they love to do. Our pick and roll coverage wasn’t very strong so we changed that. Once we readjusted our pick and roll coverage on Laoui Msambya (Ottawa) and Alston Harris (Ottawa) it really helped us. I thought that Ntore Habimana, Matt Minutillo, Romello Taylor and Jackson Mayers combined to do an amazing job on Isaiah Traylor. Taking him away from the game was incredible because last week he had 40 points and he’s one of the top scorers in the country. We knew that if he were to catch fire it’d be a long night for us.” Thunderwolves coach Ryan Thomson called it a “tough way to finish an otherwise successful season.” Ali Sow paced the Hawks with 27 on 10-24 from the floor, 6-12 from the arc, 1-3 from the line, 3 boards and 4 steals. Matt Minutillo added 10 on 3-10 from the floor, 2-7 from the arc, 2-2 from the line, 3 boards and 3 steals.

In the last quarterfinal, the 3rd-seeded Western Mustangs dispatched the 6th-seeded Laurentian Voyageurs 88-82 as guard Omar Shiddo notched a career-high 41. “What a time to get it, a time when we needed it the most against a top 10 team,” said Shiddo. “This what we worked for the whole year, love the moment, we’ll enjoy it. We’ve lost in the quarterfinals the last two years. This (Laurentian) was the best team we’ve faced in the last three years of playoffs, it just shows that we’ve grown in that time.” The Mustangs opened the game with a pair of three-pointers from Eriq Jenkins & Omar Shiddo. The Voyageurs rallied to an 18-12 lead before Shiddo scored 8 unanswered to give Western a 24-22 lead after one quarter.

In the semis, the top-seeded Carleton Ravens torched the 4th-seeded uOttawa Gee-Gees 96-61 to avenge their sole loss (a 68-67 nailbiter) to Canadian competition during the season. The Gee-Gees were without first-team all-star Calvin Epistola, who’d injured an ankle in the quarterfinals and it showed in the anemia of their offence. Coupled with Carleton’s marksmanship from the perimeter and the attacking drives of Alain Louis, it wasn’t much of a contest. The Ravens led 25-14, 52-27 and 74-41 at the quarters. Louis has “done everything,” said Ravens coach Taffe Charles. “He’s self-made. He’s really worked for everything he’s got. I’m proud of him, he’s getting everything he deserves.” Charles added that the Ravens had revenge on their minds. “We didn’t play the game that we wanted to play against them the last time. I thought they played a little hungrier and wanted it more.  I thought tonight was a little bit different … As a group we decided to try and prove that we’re a better team than the last time we played them.” Gee-Gees coach James Derouin said his squad was hurt by the injuries to Epistola and Sean Stoqua. “We missed those two guys, but Carleton was ready and they were phenomenal tonight. There was no let down by them when they found out Calvin and Sean weren’t playing. They went right for our heart and they took it.” Gee-Gees guard Borys Minger said “a game like shows us what our weaknesses are and what didn’t work.” Alain Louis paced the Ravens with 20 on 9-15 from the floor, 1-3 from the arc, 1-2 from the line, 5 boards, 2 assists and 2 steals.

The score was knotted at 94 after regulation as Eriq Jenkins Farkic notched a trey with 2.5 seconds to play.  “Omar fouled out, unfortunately, and he’s our go-to scorer,” Jenkins said. “During the free-throws, I went up to Nikola [Farloc] and said, ‘give me the ball, I’ll make it.’ And thankfully, my defender jumped on the pump-fake and I was able to get space, hit the shot, and I am very thankful that it went in.” In overtime, Aryan Sharma and Jenkins, notched buckets early for the Mustangs. Ali Sow knotted the score for the Golden Hawks and then nailed a trey to give Laurier a 103-101 lead but Farkic had the answer in the form of a trey with 1.2 seconds on the clock. “We ran a play to set things for Julian [Walker],” Farkic explained, “but I locked eyes with EJ [Eriq Jenkins], and [Julian] wasn’t open so he threw it to me… Right when it left my hands, I knew it was in. I felt it.” Mustangs coach Brad Campbell said “that was epic. Just when you thought we were dead, to get to overtime with a massive three… And then the shot-making back and forth, the level of offensive play from both teams was unbelievable… Wow. I’m speechless, it was amazing. Our guys just kept fighting and it was wild.” Julian Walker paced the Mustangs with 26 on 7-9 from the floor, 6-6 from the arc, 6-8 from the line, 9 boards, 2 assists and 3 steals.

In the final, the top-seeded Carleton Ravens dusted the 3rd-seeded Western Mustangs 90-68. The Ravens led 22-20, 44-38 and 64-53 at the quarters. Western’s transition defence was solid in the first half as they kept within reach of the Ravens. The Mustangs opened the final frame with a 7-0 run but Munis Tutu notched a trey and Carleton clamped on defence and pulled away down the stretch. “I thought we really should have dug in earlier, but in the fourth we were able to force them to their weaknesses and got a lot more stops on defence,” said Marcus Anderson. Ravens coach Taffe Charles said “I didn’t think we responded that great, to be honest. But when you get to this time, it’s just about winning by one.” Raven Lloyd Pandi, who was chosen player of the game, said “I just try and go out there and play hard for my teammates, that’s all.” Mustangs coach Brad Campbell said “we struggled with a few things throughout that game.
