“A loss like last night’s could change anybody. We knew our season was on the line and if we lost we might not get this wildcard.”—Matt Plunkett, Gee-Gees forward.
The Wilson Cup Final Four transformed Montpetit Hall into an energetic decked-out environment, as hopes of securing a second trophy filled the air. That excitement was diminished as Windsor out-rebounded and overpowered the Gee-Gees, stealing an 85-80 win from the top-ranked team.
The win was also perhaps point guard Mike L’Africain’s best all season, as he amassed a total of 20 points, four assists, four steals, and three rebounds. The game was not only big for him, but it also solidified the schedule for the OUA Wilson Cup Final Four to be hosted by the Gee-Gees at Montpetit Hall March 6–7.
Gonthier-Dubue and Plunkett were both named all-stars and Caleb Agada was crowned the tournament MVP.
