The University of Toronto Varsity Blues men's basketball team travels to Sudbury, Ont., to take on the Laurentian Voyageurs in OUA playoff action this Wednesday, February 21.
Â
Tip off is scheduled for 7 p.m., and the game will be streamed live on OUA.tv.
Â
The Blues enter the playoffs on a four-game winning streak having finished the regular season with a 13-10 record, in fifth place in the OUA East division.
Â
On the other hand, the Voyageurs are winless in their last five contests, finishing the season in fourth place with a 16-7 record in the East.
Â
Toronto and Laurentian split their season series as the Blues dropped a 101-82 decision on Jan. 13 in Sudbury, before topping the Voyageurs 80-77 last Friday night at Goldring Centre.
Â
Veteran guards Sage Usher and Reilly Reid have led Toronto, averaging 13.0 and 14.0 points per contest, while rookie Evan Shadkami has hit a hot streak, posting 14.6 points per game in the last five games.
Â
Laurentian's Kadre Gray led the OUA in scoring with 24.4 points per game; however, suffered a season-ending injury two weeks ago.
Â
A pair of Voyageurs will have step up in the post season. Nelson Yengue finished the season averaging 15.5 points per game, while David Aromolaran had 14.2 points per contest.
Â
Should the Blues be victorious, they would travel to the nation's capital to take on either the Carleton Ravens or Ottawa Gee-Gees in quarter-final action on Saturday.
