Regular Season Round 25: UBC Okanagan - UBC 61-63

Date: January 25, 2013
Eighth-ranked Heat (2-14) gave a tough game to first ranked Thunderbirds (13-2) in Kelowna, BC on Friday. The visitors from Vancouver, BC managed to secure only two-point victory 63-61. However their fans expected much easier game. Heat was tied after three quarters but could not keep up in the last quarter eventually losing the game. Thunderbirds made 19-of-25 free shots (76.0 percent) during the game. 27 personal fouls committed by Heat helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities. Forward David Wagner (206-92) stepped up and scored 20 points for the winners and American guard Doug Plumb (193, college: Minnesota St.) chipped in 12 points. At the losing side guard Yassine Ghomari (185) responded with 13 points and guard Mitch Goodwin (188) scored 13 points. Thunderbirds have an impressive series of eight victories in a row. They maintain first place with 13-2 record, which they share with Alberta. Heat lost sixth consecutive game. They keep the eighth position with 14 games lost. Thunderbirds will have a break next round, and it should allow them to practice more before next game. Heat will play again at home against the league's leader Thunderbirds (#1) in Vancouver, BC and is hoping to prove to their supporters that they can break losing series.
