UBC started the game strong, up 8-2 in the opening minutes. Buoyed by an emphatic dunk from Conor Morgan, UBC was up 14-7 at the five minute mark in the opening frame. The ’Birds played some of their best defence of the season in the first quarter, but strong shooting from the University of Ryerson Rams late in the quarter tightened the score. A final push in the closing minute of the frame was highlighted by a pair of long jumpers from Phil Jalalpoor to widen UBC’s lead to 26-18.
