ROB PARIS – MEN’S BASKETBALL

Co-Athlete of the Week

Fifth-year senior Rob Paris broke out of his shooting slump in a big way, knocking down a career-high 46 points to lead the University of Toronto Varsity Blues in a critical 87-84 win over the York Lions on Saturday, Jan. 23. 

The St. Catharines native shot 58 percent from the floor, including 7-of-12 from beyond the arc and hit 11-of-14 free throws, playing all 40 minutes of this contest. 

With this offensive outburst, Paris eclipses the 1000th career-point plateau as a member of the Varsity Blues.

The six-foot guard, who is studying philosophy, also scored five points and had two assists in a loss to the Laurentian Voyagueurs on Friday night in Sudbury.
