In a highly anticipated rematch, the Lancer men's basketball team traveled to Guelph to take on the Gryphons in the second game of their home-and-home series this week.
 
It was another nail-biter, but this time the blue and gold came out on the wrong side of the score, falling 80-77 to the hosts.
 
Windsor is now 1-1 on the season heading into week two of the regular season.
 
STATS
Shakeal Pryce led the Lancers in scoring with 29 points, while also going 66% from 3-point range. Thomas Kennedy had 21 rebounds and 19 points.
 
Guelph was led by Rasheed Weekes with 24 points.
 
GAME FLOW
The Lancers came into the game crashing the paint and defending the perimeter from Guelph's long-range attack. The Lancers led throughout the first as they were able to match the Gryphons from beyond the arc.
 
Pryce would continue to lead the Lancer offensive attack to start the second knocking down a long-range three to quiet the Gryphons fans. The Lancers defensive play was spectacular, and three minutes into the second, the Lancers forced a shot clock violation with their stout coverage.
 
The Gryphons were forced to take a timeout in hopes to stop the Lancer's electric run. Windsor, however, could not be stopped as they continued their run and went into halftime with a large 52-37 lead.
           
Guelph came into the third quarter by hitting a three that started their 15-point comeback. They brought the game to within five points of the blue and gold before Pryce hit another three in an attempt to silence the comeback.
 
The hosts tied the game with three minutes left to play before going up 78-74. A Jordan Fullerton three made it a one-point game, but the Gryphons hit another field goal to secure the 80-77 comeback win.
