Braves struggle as team play gaps show in loss
Ottawa University men’s basketball fell to Saint Mary 108 to 88 at Wilson Field House, marking the second 108-point game in four contests. Coach Aaron Siebenthall urged the Braves to trust each other, share the ball, and play with energy as they chase a conference playoff spot and sharpen for the tournament. The loss keeps Ottawa three games behind Southwestern for second in the ECAC with five to play, and Ottawa faces a road stretch before hosting one final home game. Saint Mary, bolstered by Greenberg and Thomas, defeated Ottawa again this season and holds a mental edge ahead of possible rematch in the conference tournament. Ottawa (13-10, 9-6) visits Southwestern on Thursday.
