Carleton Ravens beat STFX X-Men 109-104 in double overtime to win U Sports men’s basketball gold
The Carleton Ravens won their 17th W.P. McGee Trophy since 2003 with a thrilling 109-104 double overtime victory over the host STFX X-Men in the final game of the 2023 U SPORTS Men’s Final 8 basketball championship on Sunday.
The Ravens pulled off a double championship day as their women’s team also won the U SPORTS banner with a 71-59 win over Queen’s, marking the first time the same school has won both basketball banners since Victoria accomplished the feat in 1985. The Ravens went on an impressive 11-1 run early in the third quarter, cutting the X-Men lead to three points in the first four minutes. Defensive player of the year and second-team all-Canadian David Muenkat had a big dunk off an alley-oop from Nava which brought the crowd back to life. On the other end, Aiden Warnholtz made a jumper to put Carleton up 56-55 with 3:04 left in the third, their first lead since being up 5-2 in the game’s early stages.
The Ravens went up by five in the first minute of the extra session, but the X-Men cut the margin to one at 90-89 with two minutes left. With the Ravens up 93-91 and ten seconds left, Warnholtz had a chance to put the game away, but only made one of his two free throws. Seven seconds later, Nava nailed a triple to tie the game at 94-94, sending the U SPORTS championship game to double overtime for the first time ever.
