Players to Watch
York:
#1 SOMTO DIMANOCHIE: Fourth-year forward… Made his season debut Wednesday against the Toronto Varsity Blues… The veteran big man was tied for the team lead in scoring in that game with 14… Followed that up with a 24-point performance in Saturday's loss to Guelph, which led all scorers.
Brock:
#11 ISAIAH BUJDOSO: Third-year guard… Second on the Badgers in scoring at 11.7 points a game… Is shooting 46.7% from the field and 50.0% from behind the arc… Is a veteran presence on a team that's been to a national championship, and is a lethal shooter if you give him space.
