November 10 - The Brandon University Bobcats stayed perfect in the ugliest way possible.

Despite a plethora of turnovers and missed opportunities, the 8th ranked ‘Cats completed a weekend sweep of the Manitoba Bisons on Saturday night, defeating their provincial rivals 68-55 at the BU Gymnasium.

The Bobcats are now 4-0 in conference play, while the Bisons slipped to 0-4.

“Obviously, we weren’t pleased with the effort or the energy or the intensity in the first half,” said Brandon head coach Mike Raimbault, whose team led 29-26 at the break. “We didn’t do anything particularly well in the first half, but luckily for us, we got some spurts of energy in the second half and managed to win the game.”

Brandon’s Dany Charlery scored 12 of his game-high 19 points in the 4th quarter to spark the Bobcats, who shot a lackluster 39% from the field for the game. Adam Hartman added 12 points, while Yul Michel scored 11.

Brian Crowe scored 17 points to lead the way for Manitoba, while Darcy Coss notched 14. The Bisons only managed to make 37% of their field goal attempts.

Manitoba returns to the friendly confines of the Investors Group Athletic Centre to host Victoria and UBC on November 16 and 17. Game time is 8:15 pm.
