Bad night at the charity stripe costs UNBC MBB a win against Victoria

A 49-26 run spoiled what was otherwise a solid road effort from the UNBC Timberwolves men’s basketball team in Victoria.

All five Vikes starters hit double digit points including Ryan Regault who had a team-high 18 in an 88-77 triumph over the T-Wolves.

Saturday’s comeback also put a damper on a career night from UNBC big man Will Keyes who put up a personal best 18 points in the loss to go along with 14 rebounds.

Justin Sunga, Isiah Bias and Miller Davies also reached the double-digit plateau in the loss.

Missed free throws were the undoing of the 0-4 T-Wolves who went 7-for-18 on the charity stripe – this negated a solid night on the glass as UNBC outrebounded Victoria 46-29.

UNBC is back on the road this week with a of pair games in the Lower Mainland.

First up they take on the UBC Thunderbirds Friday at 7:30pm before heading to Abbotsford the next night to tackle the Fraser Valley Cascades at 6pm on Saturday.
