MBB: Saskatchewan Weekend Sweep of Lethbridge Pronghorns

LETHBRIDGE, AB - After Friday night's win over the Lethbridge Pronghorns, the Saskatchewan Huskies were looking to complete the sweep on Saturday night. The Huskies got things done, winning 87-77 against the Pronghorns. The Pronghorns drop to 4-10 and see their losing streak hit four games, while the Huskies hit the road with the 2-0 sweep that ups their record to 3-9.

On Saturday, the Pronghorns kept it close with the Huskies, falling behind early but cutting the gap to three at the half on a Deng Dak three-pointer at the buzzer that made it 48-45 Saskatchewan.

But after closing the score to 69-68 with seven minutes to go, the Huskies pulled away for the 10-point win and weekend sweep. 

"It was a slow start, I think the slow start really hurt us," said Lethbridge Head Coach Jermaine Small. "(When you) play from behind the whole game you exert so much energy coming back and I thought once we got back, we committed a stupid foul or there was a bad call and we couldn't get over the hump. I give them (Huskies) credit. They stayed to their game plan, they bent but they didn't break. But I felt like we just couldn't get over the hump tonight."

Dak led the Pronghorns with 20 points, with Kymani Pollard adding 14. Avery Hutcheson had 16 rebounds three assist, and three steals. 

For the Huskies, Tyrese Potoma had a 21-point outing with five rebounds. Alexander Dewar added, Erwin Loic counted for 13 and Maxwell Amoafo bucketed 12 and pulled in eight rebounds.

The Pronghorns shot 40.8 per cent from the field, 30.8 per cent from the three-point line and 57.9 per cent on free throws.

The Huskies were 51.7 per cent from the field, 45.5 from beyond the arc and 68.2 from the free throw line.

Saskatchewan heads back to Alberta next weekend to take on the Calgary Dinos. They'll return home on January 27 & 28 to battle against the Trinity Western Spartans. Tickets are available at HuskieTickets.com.
