QUICK FACTS
 
York

• The Lions got into the win column for the first time this season in their most recent contest, a convincing 69-33 victory over Algoma at home in late November.
• The Lions' 69 points scored against the Thunderbirds represented the team's highest offensive output of the year and was 23 points more than in any other game. The 33 points allowed was also the best mark of the season.
• The Lions are averaging 45.4 points scored this year, and 62.9 points allowed.
• The Lions will play five of their next six games at the Tait McKenzie Centre.

 
Laurentian

• The Voyageurs won their most recent contest, a narrow 66-61 victory over Lakehead that stopped a three-game losing skid. The win was their third of the year.
• The Voyageurs earned their biggest victory of the season on home court in mid November, a 60-57 win over Carleton. They also opened the year with a 69-34 win over Algoma.
• The Voyageurs are averaging 56.6 points scored per game this year, and allowing 64.3.

 
Nipissing

• The Lakers are playing their inaugural season in the OUA and, as a result, are suffering the growing pains that come with fielding a new roster.
