Lancers men's basketball is rolling

The University of Windsor men's basketball team is the hottest team in the OUA. The Lancers beat 4th ranked Brock 88-75 at the Toldo Recreation Complex Friday night for their 6th straight win. "We came out and had to match their physicality." said head coach Chris Cheng. "I'm happy how the guys played except for that 4th quarter."



We'll get to that in a bit. First let's talk about the third quarter. The Lancers blew open a seven-point halftime lead outscoring the defending OUA champs 32-13 in the third frame. "I think it's just our aggression and physicality. Against a team like that you gotta match it and then you have to surpass it eventually."


Now to the 4th quarter. Windsor gave back a lot of points as Brock outscored the Lancers 27-14. The Badgers got as close as ten points but Windsor found a way to get an important bucket to offset Brock's push. One of those moments saw Najee Brown-Henderson alley opp to Thomas Kennedy for a slam dunk.



Kennedy led all scorers with 24 points. He also pulled down 15 rebounds for the double-double. Brown-Henderson had 23 points and seven assists while Sam Yohann pitched in 13 for the Lancers who have no time to savour the victory.


Windsor is at Guelph Saturday night to take on the 9-10 Gryphons. "I said to the team we just gotta make sure that we're even keel." Cheng warned. "We're staying focused. Tomorrow's a new day so we gotta win that day tomorrow."

aboutus

Powerplay Windsor was born during a trip to Italy in the summer of 2018. Walking through a charming pedestrian underpass sparked a memory—being in the tunnel at the University of Michigan early in my career. That moment brought to mind the upcoming Windsor Lancers football camp and the many fall sports that would go uncovered due to cuts in legacy media sports coverage.

Recognizing this gap, and with the support of my loving wife and family, I launched Powerplay Sports as a passion project.

Founded locally and operated locally, we blend traditional sports reporting with modern digital storytelling.

From high school athletics and post secondary programs to junior hockey and grassroots clubs, we shine the spotlight on the people who make our sports community vibrant.

Our video channel brings you highlights, interviews and behind the scenes access. We are courtside, rinkside and on the field capturing moments that matter. See you soon.

"We celebrate all of the athletes within Windsor-Essex and their achievements reflected on Powerplay Sports."

"Another great resource for local sports produced by a person that has been invested in local sports for decades."
