WHAT TO WATCH FOR:
-
Due to capacity limits, no tickets will be sold. The games can be streamed live on OUA.tv in English and televised locally on Rogers TV 23 in French.
-
The nationally third-ranked Gee-Gees are the toughest test of the 2021-22 season thus far for the top-ranked Ravens. Carleton's eight OUA wins have come against teams with a combined 10-25 record this season.
-
The Gee-Gees will hope to repeat their defensive success against the OUA's second-ranked scoring attack in Carleton. Last week in wins against previously second-ranked Queen's, Ottawa held the Gaels to only 63 and 70 points, well below their season average.
-
A key stat to watch for Ottawa will be personal fouls, particularly for Maxime Boursiquot and Josh Inkumsah. Both found themselves in trouble against Queen's last weekend and will need to stay on the court for the Gee-Gees against the high-powered Ravens.
