The No. 8 Lancer men's basketball team rallied in the second half to come from behind and defeat the visiting Brock Badgers 85-77 on Saturday night at the St. Denis Centre.

 

The Badgers came out strong and quick, building a 16-9 lead after the first quarter. The Lancers got into some foul trouble early that saw Brock capitalize on the undisciplined Lancers.

 

Brock continued to dominate the scoring throughout the second, as they shot 50% from the field to build a 12 point lead heading into the break.

 

Windsor re-grouped in the second half as they came out flying to outscore the Badgers 32-15 in the third quarter. Josh Collins led the charge with ten of his 16 points in the third, and Justin Wiltshire's slam dunk put an exclamation point on the Lancer comeback.

 

The fourth quarter was a see saw battle that saw the Lancers further their lead early as Enrico Diloreto scored three points to open the quarter.   

 

The Badgers went on a tear and took back the lead at 68-65 with a 12-0 run. A three pointer by Issac Kuon swung the momentum back in the Lancers favour to restore the lead, and keep the Lancers ahead for the remainder of the game.

 

Windsor was led by Isaac Kuon with 20 points, and Lien Phillip with the games only double-double with 12 points and 16 rebounds.

 

The Badgers were led Cedric Kasongo with 17 points and Andrew Kraus with 16.

 

Next up the Lancers travel to Hamilton to take on the McMaster Marauders on January 12th.  

 

Windsor returns home on January 19th when they face the Western Mustangs at 8:00pm.
