Game Recap: Men's Basketball | | TRU WolfPack

OT heartbreak for WolfPack

QUICK FIRE
  • They led for nearly the entire night but the Thompson Rivers WolfPack men's basketball team just couldn't close out the game in an 85-84 loss to the Brandon Bobcats Saturday, Nov. 11.
 
LEADERS
  • For the second night in a row Denys Bachurin led the way offensively as he finished with 17 points. Both Daniel Bost and Thomas Olsen went 7-11 from the floor en route to 15 points while Olsen also collected 13 rebounds for the double-double.
  • Elisha Ampofo had 32 to lead Brandon including going 5-6 from long range.
  • The WolfPack dominated the glass with 46 rebounds to Brandon's 34 but made just three pointers while the Bobcats knocked down 12.

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • TRU jumped out to an early 12-2 lead and carried the lead all the way to just 28 seconds remaining in the contest when Ampofo knocked down a pair of free throws to make the score 72-71 in favour of Brandon.
  • Jason Okoro went back the other way and made a free throw of his own before the 'Pack defence came up with a big stop to send the game into overtime.
  • The teams traded buckets throughout the extra frame and a massive three-pointer from Bost gave TRU an 82-81 lead with 25 seconds left to play.
  • The teams would then trade free throws before Brandon got the ball with five seconds left to play and were able to convert to steal the victory.

NOTABLE
  • TRU is now 7-11 against Brandon in CW play.
  • The 'Pack are 1-3 on the season.
  • The 15 points for Olsen were the most he's scored in CW play since 2021 while his 13 rebounds were a career-high.
UP NEXT
  • TRU will return to Kamloops next weekend as they are set to host the Regina Cougars inside the TCC.
