CALGARY -- The Northern Timberwolves are on top of the nation.
The UNBC men's basketball team trounced the host SAIT Trojans in Saturday night's final game of the Canadian Colleges Athletic Association national championship tournament. The Timberwolves were in control from start to finish and rolled to a 96-63 win.
"I couldn't be more proud of our group of guys," said UNBC head coach Mike Raimbault. "We have a tremendous group. They sacrifice a lot of individual things for the greater good of the team. This was our goal from the start of the season and to be able to accomplish our goal feels great."
Guards Inderbir Gill and Jose Araujo were the Trojan killers. Gill hit for a game-high 32 points and Araujo had 23. Gill was later named the tournament's most valuable player and Araujo grabbed a spot on the first all-star team.
