Good teams can save their best for last and get away with it.
That’s exactly what the Lakehead Thunderwolves men’s basketball team did Friday night, outscoring host Guelph 22-8 in the fourth and final quarter to earn a hard-fought 66-55 win to start the OUA’s s post-Christmas run to the playoffs.
The second-place Wolves (7-2) got 25 points from Yoosrie Salhia – and a dozen boards to boot – and 12 from Jamie Searle.
George Mason led the way for Guelph with 15.
The two teams will face off again on Saturday night.
