Box Score The University of Toronto Varsity Blues men's basketball team fell 80-59 to the No. 5 Brock Badgers in OUA quarter-final action on Saturday afternoon (Feb. 25) in St. Catharines, Ont. 

Following an exciting opening quarter, which saw the Varsity Blues down just four (22-18), Toronto struggled to maintain a defensive presence and allowed the Badgers to finish the afternoon shooting over 50 percent from the field, with the majority of Brock's success coming from inside the paint.

Playing from behind, U of T was forced out of their game plan as they looked to the three-ball to bring them back, but could not find a late run to upset their nationally ranked opponents.
