UNBC men's basketball squad beat the UBC Okanagan Heat 85-64 in Kelowna Friday to wrap up their regular season in the Canadian Interuniversity Sport Canada West Conference.
UNBC improved to 12-8 and are currently in second place in the Explorer Division with a playoff spot locked up.
The Timberwolves will have to wait until Saturday night to find out if they finish second or third in the Explorer Division.
That's when Thompson Rivers University WolfPack wrap up their two-game series in Abbotsford against the first-place University of Fraser Valley Cascades.
TRU must win both games against UFV to bump UNBC to third place. Any other result and the Timberwolves finish second.
Friday night, the Timberwolves shot 42.4 per cent from the floor and sunk eight out of 23 attempts from the three-point arc.
