Badgers promise test for Lancer basketball teams

The Lancer basketball teams will face one of their toughest tests to date this weekend when they play host to the Brock Badgers on Saturday night at the St. Denis Centre.

The games will be one of the featured match-ups in Canadian university basketball, carried live for local viewers on TV Cogeco’s cable channel 11 and webcast for out-of-town fans at SSN Canada.

On the women’s side, Windsor is ranked second in the nation and its 12-2 record is good for first in the Ontario University Athletics West division, just one game ahead of second-place Brock. The women will tip off at 6 p.m.

The Lancer men are currently 10-3 and third in the OUA West, but just one game out of first – and two games ahead of the Badgers. They will play at 8 p.m.
