The University of the Fraser Valley men's basketball team wrapped up its 2017-18 campaign with an 82-66 loss to the Manitoba Bisons on Saturday, Feb. 3 evening at the Envision Financial Athletic Centre.

Bisons senior guard Justus Alleyn sewed up the Canada West scoring title, racking up a game-high 25 points to edge Saskatchewan's Lawrence Moore by the slimmest of margins. He scored 481 points over the course of the campaign for a 24.1 points-per-game average, while Moore finished at 480 (24.0 ppg).

Manitoba (12-8) is playoff-bound and will be the No. 6 seed in the Canada West draw. They'll host the No. 10 Brandon Bobcats this coming Friday (7:30 p.m. CT).

The Cascades (5-15) finish outside the post-season picture for the first time since 2009. They were led by forwards Mark Johnson (16 points) and Matt Cooley (10 points, 10 rebounds) on Saturday.

The Bisons opened the game on an 11-2 run, and answered every Cascades run with one of their own. James Wagner chipped in with 16 points for the visitors, and Keiran Zziwa (11) and Cameron O'Hara (10) also scored in double figures.

Jordyn Sekhon scored nine points off the bench for UFV, accounting for his point total on a trio of three-pointers. Parm Bains and Sukhman Sandhu had eight points apiece. Ball security was the Cascades' Achilles' heel – they had 20 turnovers, while the Bisons coughed it up just three times.

"I thought we played well," Bisons head coach Kirby Schepp said, reflecting on a weekend sweep which included a 67-46 win over the Cascades on Friday. "Certainly tonight, I thought we played well at both ends. Last night, we played well defensively but not so great offensively.

"One thing about Fraser Valley is, like the name Cascades, they move the ball so well," Schepp continued. "They're probably one of the best teams at their ball movement and passing, and they make it really tough for you defensively. So I was really happy with the way we contained that a little bit, and defended them reasonably well. It was all about treating this like a playoff game. We want to be playing playoff basketball."
