Game Recap: Men's Basketball | | TRU WolfPack

Lead slips away late for ‘Pack

QUICK FIRE
  • They held a lead for over half the contest but the Thompson Rivers WolfPack men's basketball team couldn't put away a resilient Regina Cougars squad in a 66-59 loss inside the TCC.
 
DIFFERENCE MAKERS
  • Jason Okoro spearheaded a balanced scoring attack for the 'Pack with 15 points to go along with a pair of offensive rebounds. Daniel Bost added nine for TRU while Thomas Olsen had eight.
  • A two-headed attack of Hayden Collier (19 points) and Arinze Emeka-Anyakwo (18) was key for the Cougars.
  • A lack of execution at the charity stripe hurt TRU as they went just 11-21 compared to Regina's mark of 5-7.

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • The first half was an absolute battle defensively with two of the top defensive teams in the conference showing up in a big way as TRU led just 27-25 through twenty minutes.
  • It turned into a game of runs early in the second half. TRU started the frame on a 9-0 run punctuated by a Daniel Bost three-pointer before Regina answered with a 10-0 run of their own.
  • TRU held a slim 50-49 lead through three before the offence went cold in the fourth. The 'Pack tallied just nine points in the final frame while Emeka-Anyakwo and Cade Mather combined for 10 by themselves as the visitors were able to pull out the victory.

NOTABLE
  • TRU is now 7-14 against Regina in CW play.
  • 12 rebounds for Thomas Olsen marks the second-straight game that the product of Surrey has cracked double-digits on the glass.
UP NEXT
  • These teams will do battle again tomorrow night in the TCC with a scheduled start time of 7:30 p.m.
