In the West opening round: …………………………………………………… The 5th-seeded McMaster Marauders edged the 4th-seeded host Guelph Gryphons 78-75. The Marauders opened with a 13-0 run and led 26-15, 38-36 and 60-55 at the quarters. Guelph rallied to within a single possession down the stretch but a Malcolm Glanville bomb at the buzzer hit the top of the backboard. Gryphons coach Chris O’Rourke said “our guys showed a lot of character tonight and kept fighting in a game where our shots weren’t falling and where we were in a hole early. We found a way to claw back and keep ourselves in the game, but in the end it wasn’t our night. Mac put a lot of ball pressure on us, which I thought the guys handled pretty well with just 12 turnovers on the night. But too many misses at the free throw line and failing to convert on some good looks in the paint hurt us.” David McCulloch paced McMaster with 13 on 5-15 from the floor, 2-6 from the arc, 1-1 from the line, 4 boards, 3 assists and 2 steals.

I didn’t think any team had total control throughout the game,” said Badgers coach Madhav Trivedi. “I credit our guys for coming up with big plays down the stretch when Lakehead made their run. They are a better team than what their record shows. … This wasn’t an easy victory. Even when we were up by 10 points, if we made a bad shot they came down the court and made us pay. There was a lot of resilience and toughness for pulling out this win. We’ve been in a lot of situations where we haven’t come out on the right side of things, so for our guys to win during this time of the year is what every coach wants.” Thunderwolves coach Ryan Thompson said “this was a great battle from a team that stayed together through some ups and downs this season.

They led 21-13 after one quarter on a slam by Isiah Osborne, who nailed back-to-back treys and delivered a reverse spinning layup as Carleton took command in the second quarter. The Gaels missed a host of bunnies and open looks but kept vaguely within reach because of their hustle and exceptional ball movement. An altercation between Carleton’s T.J. Lall and Queen’s Harry Range saw both players ejected in the third quarter. The Gaels never seriously threatened down the stretch. Osborne, who scored from all over the floor, said his objective for each game is to “come out and be confident in my shot, keep shooting the ball, and try my hardest.” Ekiyor said “we made a lot of defensive mistakes, we have to stick to our fundamentals. That second half was brutal. We have to clean up and step up. … (As for the altercation), that’s basketball. Things are going to get heated, people are going to compete.

Jayden Frederick said “I woke up this morning with a little extra energy than I normally have and knew that once I got into the game I was going to be able to make some plays. … When I let myself get too excited that’s when the turnovers and fouls start to happen, I try to do too much.

The West top-seeded Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks clipped the 5th-seeded McMaster Marauders 95-89. The Marauders led 23-21 after one quarter. The Golden Hawks led 45-36 at the half and 66-61 after three quarters. The tide turned in the second quarter when the Hawks held the Marauders to 6 points over the final six minutes while digging themselves out of a 9-point hole and closing out the frame with a 7-0 run. Ali Sow said “really tough. They made it hard on us. They were getting to their matchups. We stuck together as a team and stuck through it. In the fourth quarter, they made a run and we stayed together and got the stops we needed and got the win.” Ntore Habimana said making the OUA final four “means a lot means a lot. We’re not only playing for ourselves and family, but we’re playing for the school. Third time in the last 40 years, it’s an honour for us. … Like coach always tells us, basketball is a game of runs. When they came back, it was a four-point game with about three minutes left, we just told ourselves to stay composed. They’ll go on a run, but we just have to make sure to finish out the game.” Hawks coach Justin Serresse said his troops were able to impose their will on the game. “It’s big because we knew that one-on-one, if we were going to play tight and not help each other out, that would have been a tough matchup for us, since they’re very quick, very athletic, they do finish well at the rim. We wanted to string the floor, we got five charges in the first half. We were all over them in terms of taking away driving angles. In the first half, what I think we did well was attacking and drawing fouls. Overall, I thought we did what we wanted to execute for the most part.” Ali Sow led the Hawks with 36 on 12-20 from the floor, 2-7 from the arc, 10-12 from the line, 5 boards and 3 assists.

That was my main focus and, fortunately, I was able to do it. … We watched a lot of film on this team, so I knew where I could put pressure on them offensively and that’s what I tried to do. It resulted in me becoming more of a scorer for this game.” The Mustangs led 22-14, 42-35 and 68-61 at the quarters. Tyler Brown paced Brock with 26 on 6-16 from the floor, 3-7 from the arc, 11-13 from the line, 5 boards and 6 assists.

In the semis, the Carleton Ravens pounded the Brock Badgers 86-44 after leading 27-18, 44-25 and 62-35 at the quarters. Cassidy Ryan scored 10 as the Badgers took a 13-11 lead but Yasiin Joseph ignited an 11-0 run to close out the first quarter. Carleton notched another double-digit run as they took command in the second quarter after Ryan picked up his third foul. A 17-0 Ravens run, featuring 13 from Eddie Ekiyor, in the third quarter buried any erstwhile Brock hopes of a rally. Ravens coach Dave Smart said “we didn’t defend very well to start, and they came out energized and made shots. They got good shots, they executed, and we didn’t execute defensively. … (Ryan) was “great early, and then we attacked him. We did what we wanted to do there, and put him in a position where he had to foul or give up good looks. We got our good looks early and then we extended it so he had to play more aggressive, and then he got into foul trouble. He hurt us early, and then we hurt him when he was on the defensive end.” Interim Brock coach Madhav Trivedi said “I think the most important thing for our players to take away from this season is you can never give up. You can never ever give up. There’s ups and downs through the season and we try to teach life lessons and its done through sport. Don’t give up. Things aren’t always going to go your way and you just have to continue to fight right up until the last minute. Take this experience, learn from it, and become a better player because of it.” Eddie Ekiyor paced Carleton with 25 on 11-14 from the floor, 3-6 from the line and 7 boards. Yasiin Joseph added 17 on 7-14 from the floor, 2-5 from the arc, 1-2 from the line, 4 boards and 2 assists. Mitch Jackson notched 15 on 6-7 from the floor, 3-4 from the line and 6 boards.

In the other semi, the Ryerson Rams dispatched the host Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks 99-84 after leading 21-17, 54-35 and 76-70 at the quarters. The Rams opened the second quarter with a 7-0 run and then exploded to a 19-point lead at the half. The Hawks caught fire in the third quarter to trim the margin to 5 but the Rams re-asserted control in the final frame. Hawks guard Ali said in the third quarter, “we just fed off Ben Stevens, his energy all night was 100 percent and we needed that. Going into the third quarter I think we fed off him, we fed off each other, we got stops and ran the ball and we got what we wanted. … We just realized that the best teams, they do it for 40 minutes consistently and I think we had a couple lapses mentally and defensively as well. I think just realizing that we’re through it together for 40 minutes, that’ll help us down the stretch. This experience here is really going to help us down the road.” Jayden Frederick paced Ryerson with 24 on 8-12 from the floor, 6-8 from the arc, 2-2 from the line, 5 boards and 2 assists.

In the final, the Carleton Ravens dusted the Ryerson Rams 81-61 to capture their second consecutive crown. The Ravens led 25-18, 44-27 and 62-43 at the quarters. Marcus Anderson hit a driving layup early in the first quarter to ignite a 12-0 run from which the Rams never really recovered. The Ravens defensive pressure hounded the Rams into miscues, while Ryerson’s double teams of Ravens post Eddie Ekiyor created gaps for Carleton to slither into for open looks. The Ravens were equally adept at finding seams in the Rams 2-3 zone. Ravens guard Munis Tutu said Carleton was determined to avenge their only loss of the season. “This is a game that we wanted since the last time that we played them. We focused on them this whole week. We came out today and did a great job on defense. It was a team effort and I’m glad we came out with the win.” Tutu added that was equally determined not to let Ram guard upstage him again, having scored 23 and 21 in their regular games. “I took that personal from my last two matches. He outplayed me, but today I came in with a better focus than I did in the last two games.” Ravens post Eddie Ekiyor said Carleton was equally determined to avenge a semi-final loss to the Rams in the 2018 national championships. “That taste is still in our mouths, that loss was bitter. We have to keep coming and not get complacent. Keep coming on defense, keep coming and get better everyday.” Yasiin Joseph paced Carleton with 20 on 6-15 from the floor, 1-6 from the arc, 7-8 from the line, 6 boards and 4 assists.

Months after capturing yet another national title, Carleton coach Dave Smart resigns to becomes the school’s director of basketball operations. “It’s been a great run,” Smart said. “Coaching is my second love, my first being my wife and children. I am very thankful to the university and I am looking forward to my new role. This gives me an opportunity to stay involved in basketball while having more time to spend with my family.” Former assistant and women’s head coach Taffe Charles is appointed to replace Smart. After playing for the Ravens from 1990-95, Charles was an assistant for the women’s program for one year and then for the men’s program from 1998-2007. He led the distaff Ravens to four uSports tourneys, four OUA East titles, two OUA titles and a national crown in 2017-18. “I am truly honoured to be entrusted as the next head coach of the Carleton University Men’s Basketball Program,,” said Charles. “I look forward to the challenge of continuing the high standard of excellence that has been set by Coach Smart, his coaching staff and the players.”
Windsor coach Chris Oliver announces that he was stepping aside after 14 years at the Lancer helm. He had a 211-141 coaching record in OUA conference play (186-100 with Windsor) and captured six OUA west division regular season titles, two OUA west playoff titles, a Wilson Cup Ontario Championship, and earned three berths to the U SPORTS National Championships. He was three times named OUA coach of the year. Oliver is replaced by Nipissing coach Chris Cheng, who’d been at the Lakers helm for five years. Windsor athletic director Mike Havey said Cheng’s “experience was important, but I think he presented a vision of wanting to create a high-performance culture built around core values that resonated with me and every member of the (six member selection) committee. I think he’s going to make an impact.” Cheng had a 24-79 record with Nipissing over five seasons. “He built a program at Nipissing from scratch,” Havey said. “Record aside, they were in the playoffs his third year and Nipissing’s a smaller institution and there’s a challenge at being at a smaller institution.”
Nipissing, in turn, appointed Algoma coach Thomas Cory as their next helmsman. “I have truly enjoyed my time with the Algoma University Thunderbirds and I’m more than grateful for the support and opportunities provided to myself and my family by the University over the years,” said Cory.
Algoma then appointed Etienne Jacquet to their helm. Jacquet held a Master’s Degree in Coaching and Athletic Administration from Concordia University–Irvine, and a Bachelor’s Degree in Sports and Recreation Management from Concordia University–Chicago. He is a Level 3 certified coach through the National Coaching Certification Program. “We are excited to welcome Etienne to the Thunderbird family,” said director of student experience Dave Trudelle. “He brings a wealth of knowledge from his experience in player development that will help our players grow and succeed. Coach Jacquet has also helped grow basketball programs in various communities and understands the importance of a connected system across all levels of the sport.” Jacquet previously coached Ottawa’s Franco-Cité and Deslauriers high schools He was an assistant coach on the Ottawa Skyhawks Professional Team and head coach in the OCAA with the La Cité Collégiale Coyotes. He then was a coach at the Thetford Basketball Academy, including coaching their Men’s and Women’s CEGEP teams and one of the founders of Team Thetford Men’s Basketball. “I am excited about the opportunity to coach at the university level with the Algoma Thunderbirds,” Jacquet said.
Brock announces that interim coach Madhav Trivedi, and coach Charles Kissi, who’d taken taken a one-year sabbatical, would not be returning to the Badgers. Kissi had a 107-72 record with Brock, while Trivedi was 19-14. Brock subsequently appointed Carleton assistant Willy Manigat to the helm. An assistant with the Ravens for four years, Manigat played the point for the Ottawa Gee-Gees for two years before transferring to Carleton and toiling for a pair of uSports title teams. He also served as an associate coach for the Ottawa-based prep school, Canada Top Flight Academy. “Willy is a winner,” said Brian Hutchings, Brock’s Vice-President, Administration. “Every team he has played for or coached with has a winning record. He is a hard-working coach who players want to play for and train with.” Manigat said “my biggest goal for Brock basketball is to be an OUA contender and eventually compete on the national stage year in and year out,” said Manigat. “Brock has always been a team that you have to come ready to play, and I’m here to continue to build on that.”
In another stunning coach development, Ryerson’s Roy Rana resigned to become an assistant coach with the NBA’s Sacramento Kings. The 50-year-old had been the Ryerson helm since 2009 (with a sabbatical year in 2015-16). In stints with various Canadian national teams, Rana led the U19 team to the 2017 World title. He was replaced by Borko Popic, associate coach for the previous three seasons. “We are very excited and honoured that Borko has agreed to step up and serve as head coach of our men’s basketball program for the 2019-20 season,” said Ryerson interim Director of Athletics and Recreation Jeff Giles. “Borko’s leadership and dedication to the program over the past three years has been a major contributor to its success both on the court and in the delivery of an overall positive student-athlete experience. We are confident that under Borko’s leadership the program will continue to be one of the best in the country.” Popic taught at St. John’s Kilmarnock in Kitchener before joining the Rams. He “spent time with the Canadian national basketball program, amassing video, statistical analysis and on court experience with the Senior Men’s team. He has also worked with the Canadian Men’s Junior team in the past, and has been a four-time coach with the World Team in the annual Nike Hoop Summit.” Popic said “I am very excited about this opportunity with the Ryerson University men’s basketball program. … It has been a privilege working with coach (Roy) Rana for the past three seasons. It is not a small task to step into the shoes of a great leader but it is a challenge I am looking forward to. My experience with the Rams, especially as head coach in regular season and playoff games over the past two years during coach Rana’s time with the national team, has prepared me for the opportunity to lead this group of young men with confidence.” Popic served as an assistant at Laurier between 2010-12. He played at Virginia Military Institute and Hawaii Pacific before closing out his playing career at Guelph.
Weeks before the start of the 2019-20 campaign, Waterloo coach Justin Gunter announces that he was resigning after four years at the Warrior helm to become senior manager of business development at the McMaster University department of financial affairs. “Justin has been the epitome of a Warrior coach and we are very fortunate to have had him leading our student-athletes,” said Waterloo director of athletic and recreation Roly Webster. “I would like to thank him for his passion and determination in the rebuilding of the men’s basketball program.” Gunter said “leaving this role has not been an easy decision but it is the best for my family and I at this time. I will continue to root on the Warriors from Hamilton.” Assistant coach Troy Stevenson, who toiled for the Warriors between 2010-13, is appointed head coach on an interim basis.
