Game Recap: Men's Basketball | | TRU WolfPack

‘Pack make it close before fading late against Golden Bears

QUICK FIRE
  • They made it just a six-point game in the second half but the Thompson Rivers WolfPack men's basketball team couldn't complete the comeback in an 83-61 loss to the Alberta Golden Bears in Edmonton.
 
DIFFERENCE MAKERS
  • Denys Bachurin had a game-high 17 points for TRU while both Daniel Bost and Cyrus Harrison added 13. Harrison finished just one rebound shy of collecting the double-double.
  • Isaac Simon scored 17 for Alberta while both Lars Ishimwe and Brandon Meiklejohn had 16.
     
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • TRU hung tough with the Golden Bears throughout the first quarter, weathering an early Alberta run with a Bachurin three-pointer to make the score 15-11 halfway through the frame in favour of the hosts. Alberta exploded down the stretch of the first quarter however and finished the first on a 11-4 run.
  • Alberta extended that lead all the way to 20 points before TRU went on a tear to end the half. Two buckets from Harrison and one each from Tyler Schilling and Simon Crossfield allowed TRU to bring the deficit back down to 12 at halftime.
  • The WolfPack carried that momentum over into the third quarter. Bachurin and Bost caught fire to start the second half and a three-pointer from Bost with just under three minutes left in the quarter saw the 'Pack cut the lead to 58-25.
  • Unfortunately for TRU, that was as close as they'd come on the night as Alberta regained their footing and pulled away late for the victory.
     
NOTABLE
  • TRU falls to 4-12 on the season with the loss and continue to find themselves just outside of a CW playoff spot.
  • The 'Pack will honour Daniel Bost and Tyler Schilling next week as the graduating guards plays the final home game of their WolfPack careers.
 
UP NEXT
TRU will be back at home next weekend for their final home games of the 2023-24 season.
