In the third frame, the WolfPack started to heat up, led by Simon Crossfield who made a pair of big three-pointers to help TRU build a mild lead. The Pack did get up by ten points, before UNBC’s Vova Pluzhnikov made a pair of treys to help the TWolves claw back into the game. Heading into the fourth quarter, TRU held a 51-45 lead.

However, it was the final stanza where the weary Timberwolves dug a hole they couldn’t get out of. Missing big men Fareed Shittu and Rohtash Mattu, UNBC ran out of gas, and faced an even bigger challenge when Ledoux fouled out of the game early in the quarter. Daniel Kopf and Chris Ross fought valiantly in the paint, but King was a force, leading to good looks for Crossfield and Brendan Sullivan.

Ultimately, UNBC ran out of time, falling 68-57 to the tough WolfPack. Crossfield was the story, going four-for-four from beyond the arc in the second half, and making five for the game. His 17 points led TRU, while King added 10 points and six rebounds, and Sullivan chipped in with 13 points.

“Simon, coming back. Asher Mayan. Sullivan is always good for some threes, and creating off the dribble,” said King. “We have some good guys. I am really proud of our group. Back to back nights, that second one is really big. We will try to group together and get another one.”

For UNBC, Laing was the high man, scoring 21 points. Ledoux added 13 points, while Chris Ross had nine points and 10 boards. Pluzhnikov had six points, 10 rebounds, and seven assists.

The two teams will complete the weekend, and their matchups for the season, Saturday night in Prince George.

“We need to get a good rest, just trust our plan, and hopefully we hit our shots,” said Kopf. “When we have Roh and Fareed, they help us clean some of our mistakes. We can’t make those mistakes.”
