The Algonquin men’s college basketball team is on an absolute high right now, sitting third in the OCAA. The program has completely turned around from last year when it sat near the bottom of the standings. The men’s basketball team has been steady throughout the season, continuing to dominate. If you’re an Algonquin college student, make sure to support the Wolves as they have a bounce-back season.
The continuation of this season has shown that many players have shown to improve this year. Guard Jansen Balmaceda has shown great improvement as he has just over eight points per game and a touch over two assists per game (. As a second-year player at Algonquin, Jansen is expected to show a huge leadership role for this team as he is a veteran throughout this team. He understands the culture as being a first-year last season for Algonquin and tries to show the younger players how to get this done on and off the floor, demonstrating great leadership qualities.
The Algonquin College Wolves’ have improved themselves to a five and one record surpassing their record of four and fourteen last season. Algonquin has surpassed their record so far this season as they sit five and one on the season so far beating top teams such as St Lawrence and Loyalist, but ultimately losing to top-ranked Georgian College squad by a score of eighty to seventy-eight. The Wolves were right there to tie the game but missed a couple jump shots in a disappointing loss to Georgian College, as they were the top team in the OCAA, and still are.
