Box Score The University of Toronto Varsity Blues men's basketball team dropped a 97-93 overtime decision to the York Lions on the road Friday night (Feb. 26).
 
With the loss, the Blues (5-13) are now tied with the York Lions (5-13) for third place and the final playoff space in the East. Toronto heads to Queen's for their regular season finale, while the Lions travel to take on the Ryerson Rams. A Toronto win over Queen's and York loss to the Rams would push the Blues into the post season.
 
After a shaky first half which saw the Blues trailing the Lions 38-32 at the break, U of T went on a hot streak outscoring York 25-16 in the third quarter.
 
Then in the fourth, OUA scoring threat Devin Johnson delivered a 17-point quarter, including a game-tying layup with just seconds left to send the game into overtime.
 
However, in the OT period the Varsity Blues were unable to sustain their late game momentum, dropping the tightly contested game by four points.
 
Johnson and rookie guard Devon Williams led the Blues with 25 points each, with Johnson completing the double-double with 11 boards.
 
Sophomore guard Sage Usher had 18 points and five assists, while Wilson Torres added nine points in the loss.
