Kelowna, BC – The University of Victoria men's basketball team flexed in a 106-57 win over the University of British Columbia Okanagan, January 30 at UBCO Gymnasium.
 
Victoria took control from the start.

• From the moment the ball was tipped, the Vikes were out to dominate on both ends of the floor.
•  The first quarter was highlighted by the Vikes amassing a 12-point lead and parlaying that success into a 24-14 second quarter.
• The Vikes hit the 50-point mark in the first half for the third time this season.

 
The three-ball continued to fall for the Vikes.

• The Vikes continued to find success from beyond the arc. Finishing 17/32 for a three-point percentage of 53.1%. This scoring rate, paired with their defensive tenacity, meant the Heat stood little chance of any comeback attempts.
• Ethan Gallagher and Tyler Felt both were on fire from the floor. Gallagher and Felt were each 8-10 and showed that the depth of the Vikes is their biggest asset.
• Victoria finished strong, securing the 106-57 win, scoring 24 points or more in every quarter while holding the Heat to 17 points or less.

 
Notables

• The top-seeded Vikes improve to 16-2 with the win, while the Heat fall to 3-14.
• Ryan Gallagher was put in the starting lineup, and he made the most of his opportunity. Gallagher was perfect from three-point land as he nailed all six of his shots, amassing a game-high 22 points.

 
The men's basketball team will return home for the two-part season finale against the UBC Thunderbirds, Feb. 6 & 7 at CARSA Performance Gym.
