Brock News:
The Badger men's basketball team dropped their Ontario University Athletics (OUA) season opener 72-66 when they travelled to Queen's on Friday.

The men bounced back when they thumped Royal Military College by a score of 105-73. After Saturday, senior Brad Rootes became the Badger's sixth all-time leading scorer.
