QUICK FACTS
York
- The four losses in a row for York includes two games against No. 1 Carleton, one of them featured York coming away from the first quarter of the game with a one-point lead at the end of the first quarter.
- Brown had a night for the ages in the loss for York, producing 39 points while going 9-for-18 beyond the arc. Prince Kamunga wasn't much worse — he had 29 points and was one rebound away from a double double.
Rams
- The Rams would then outscore York in each quarter from there, but by small enough increments to keep the game close. They would take the lead for a final time at 1:57 of the fourth quarter, when an Aaron Rhooms jumper was good to put his side up 73-72. They held on until the end of the game.
