The Storyline
Humber men's basketball (9-8, 6th West) will wrap up the 2023 regular season Thursday evening when Sheridan (11-6, 3rd West) visits the North Campus Gym. Tip-off is set for 8 p.m. and will be streamed live on the Hawks Sports Network.
Last Time Out
The Hawks concluded their road schedule for the season, dropping both games on the road down in southwestern Ontario. On Feb. 10, Humber dropped a tough contest to Lambton, 73-70, then fell to No. 10 St. Clair, 94-83.
'The Game'
The Humber/Sheridan game – considered by many as the fiercest rivalry in the CCAA – resumes Thursday for the 109th regular-season edition. Since 1998, these two programs have combined for 17 OCAA provincial titles and 28 combined gold medals since 1985.
