Justin Holmes drained 11 three-pointers, including an overtime winner, en route to a 49-point week in leading the Varsity Blues men’s basketball team to three consecutive wins.

 

Holmes tallied a season- and game-high 22 points in a thrilling 82-80 overtime win over the Ryerson Rams on Wednesday. The Toronto native drained his sixth three-pointer of the night with five seconds remaining in the extra frame to secure the win for the visiting Blues.

 

The fourth-year geography major followed that up with a team-high 19-point performance to lead the Blues in a critical 71-58 victory over cross-town rivals York Lions.

 

Holmes also added eight first-half points over 13 minutes of action in a narrow 89-86 win over the Laurentian Voyageurs on Saturday night.
