But the 5-8 guard hit 7-9 from beyond the arc in the second half, to finish with 28 points as the Crusaders captured the title. “Ever since I rolled my ankle early in the season, I’ve been shooting more. I’ve been hot lately,” Restauro told the Edmonton Journal. “My coach told me to keep shooting. I believe in myself and everyone believes in me.” The Crusaders fell behind 47-39 in the second half when Restauro stemmed the bleeding with a three at 5:50 in the third quarter. He pulled O’Brien ahead 56-55 with another three and snapped a 58-58 tie at 14:00 with the first of four consecutive bombs from beyond the arc. Springbank rallied behind a pair of three-pointers by A.K. Kazalauskas to rally within five with a minute to play. They narrowed it to one when Kazalauskas converted a steal and Levi Selk hit a bucket off an intercepted pass. But the Crusaders iced it at the line when Kyle Saban hit a pair from the charity stripe. Kazalauskas desperation three at the buzzer to tie it bounced off the rim.
