- The Hawks are 24-3 (.889) at home against Niagara all-time.
All-Canadian Push
Senior Jaylan Morgan is making a push to become Humber's first All-Canadian since 2004. Over his last three games, the Brampton native has scored 84 points on 64.8 percent (31-for-45) shooting from the floor. In Humber's win over Mohawk, Morgan became just the third player in program history to score 40-plus points in a game.
Raining Treys
Fowzi Mohamoud became Humber's three-point king on Jan. 11. Fourth-year DeQuon Cascart needs nine more triples to become just the third player in program history to record 100-plus three-pointers.
Movin' On Up
With a career record of 35-8, Coach Downey moves into fifth on Humber's all-time wins list.
