T-wolves make history, defeat Calgary Dinos for Canada West bronze

The UNBC Timberwolves were the Cinderella story of the Canada West men’s basketball playoffs and Sunday night in Winnipeg they made sure that tale of guts and glory had a happy ending.

They didn’t have their big fanbase from Prince George with them in the gym in Winnipeg but Ross felt the love of the city from afar. Both teams fumbled away chances in the early going in the fourth quarter until Petrone tied it for Calgary with his fourth trey of the night. The T-wolves’ defence forced Calgary to cough up the ball in the dying minutes and Hunter made them pay when he hit from three-point range, followed by another trey from Ross after a miss from Dinos’ Dylan Lutes. Evgeny Baukin sealed it with consecutive layups that extended the lead to 13 with 2:20 left. Calgary never threatened after that and Sunga and Ross capped it off with a couple more net plays.

UNBC withstood a second-quarter surge led by Sran, whose accuracy from all over the court negated a 12-point lead. Tied at 38, the T-wolves used their timeout to refocus and Baukin got them back on track with a thundering dunk. The Russian-born forward kept pushing the pace and completed a three-point play after getting fouled as he drove one in off the glass.
