Fraser Valley/Vancouver – MBB: O’Connor scores 27 as Cascades finish weekend sweep of No. 3 ranked UBC
It was an alumni night to remember for Bennett O’Connor and the UFV Cascades men’s basketball team, as they broke out their UCFV inspired retro blue jerseys and defeated the nation’s No. 3 ranked team, the UBC Thunderbirds, for the second consecutive day.
UFV’s 90-79 win boosts the team’s record to 11-6 in Canada West, as they try to chase down the 12-4 Thunderbrds for second in the Canada West pacific division and a chance to host in the playoffs.
The Cascades had not swept UBC in a weekend since November of 2013.
