Carleton defeats Saskatchewan to win 3rd consecutive U Sports men's basketball title

The Carleton Ravens defended their U Sports men's basketball crown with a victory in the championship game Sunday.

Third-year guard Aiden Warnholtz had 18 points, nine rebounds and eight assists to lead the Ravens past the Saskatchewan Huskies 85-72.

The Ravens have now won three consecutive titles and 16 overall since 2003.

Lloyd Pandi had 16 assists and 13 rebounds, and Alain Louis added 15 points for Carleton.

Alexander Dewar scored a game-high 27 points in defeat for the eighth-seeded Huskies, which saw their improbable run to a championship come to an end.

Saskatchewan was looking for its first title since 2010.
