OUA EAST
8:00 pm Laurentian (5-23, 4-15) at Ryerson (6-21, 5-13) The feature game in the division as Rye can clinch a playoff spot with a win but a Laurentian win puts them in the driver's seat for the final playoff spot, as they will own the tie breaker with a win. Webcast
8:00 pm York (7-22, 5-14) at Toronto (23-7, 14-4) The teams played a spirited affair two weeks ago in North York as the resurgent Lions aim to finish in fifth place.
8:00 pm Queen's (18-10, 12-7) at Ottawa (21-7, 15-4) The Gee-Gees are officially ravaged by injuries and must now rely on their depth to compete as 6'4" Josh Gibson-Bascombe is out at least two weeks, likely longer, with a slight tear in his MCL, 6'5" David Labentowicz has a broken foot he has valiantly been playing on for the last 2 weeks and 6'3" Sean Peter is doubtful with a hip pointer injury which kept him out of last Saturday's loss to Toronto. With 6'2" Jacob Gibson-Bascombe out for the season, Ottawa has only 2 of their top 6 players healthy. Meanwhile, Queen's is starting to play solid basketball again. Streaming Sports Network
