The University of Windsor Lancers men's basketball team earned a hard-fought 65–60 comeback victory over the No. 7 nationally ranked Ottawa Gee-Gees on Saturday (Nov. 29) night at the Toldo Lancer Centre. 

GAME FLOW 
Ottawa came out firing, pushing ahead 23–16 after the opening quarter and extending their lead to 44–34 by halftime behind efficient shooting from the perimeter. The Gee-Gees maintained control through the third, carrying a 56–44 advantage into the final frame. 

From there, Windsor completely flipped the momentum. The Lancers locked in defensively, holding Ottawa to just four points in the fourth quarter while erupting 21 of their own. Timely stops, improved ball movement, and increased pressure on the glass powered the decisive surge as Windsor closed out the game on a dominant run to secure the comeback win.
