The York University Lions men's basketball team played its final game of the season on Saturday night in the nation's capital and was defeated 82-54 by the No. 10 nationally-ranked Ottawa Gee-Gees.
 
The Gee-Gees consistently outscored the Lions in each quarter. The Lions quickly fell behind in the first quarter, only scoring half of what the Gee-Gees put in as the quarter ended 24-12. This big deficit proved to be too difficult to bounce back from, as the Lions trailed the remainder of the game.
 
The Lions were able to hold the Gee-Gees to 56 points for a little while in the third quarter and add six points. Ultimately, this was the longest the Lions would be able to hold off the Gee-Gees, and the home squad cruised to the win.
 
Nana Adu-Poku had a big game on the night, earning 14 of the Lions' points. MJ Forbes led the team in rebounds with nine and chipped in with six points.
 
Brody Maracle led the Gee-Gees in scoring, earning 19 points, and he completed the double-double with 10 rebounds.
 
The Lions conclude their season with a 2-21 record, while the Gee-Gees improved to 17-6 and snagged the second seed in the OUA East Division, earning a bye in the first round of the playoffs. Ottawa will host an OUA quarter-final next weekend.
