Panthers Close Season with Hard-Fought Home Weekend

North Bay, ON — The Canadore Panthers men's basketball team wrapped up its season with a two-game home set, falling to Humber, 95–58 on Saturday and then putting up a spirited comeback effort in a 110–101 loss to Sheridan on Sunday at the Canadore College Drive Gymnasium.

Saturday, Feb. 14 — Humber 95, Canadore 58

Humber's size and depth on the glass set the tone as the Hawks out-rebounded Canadore 56–39 and built separation in each quarter. Canadore battled through contact and moved the ball (13 assists), but cold shooting from distance (3–23 3PT) made it tough to keep pace.
