Brock hosts Ryerson at the Meridian Centre

The No. 2 Ryerson Rams men’s and women’s basketball teams visit the Brock Badgers Saturday at the Meridian Centre, for the annual Paint the Meridian Red event. Both Rams squads have been making a case they are one of the most dominant teams in the country, having spared no opponents en route to 5-0 records, and will have a busload of fans who made the trip to the Niagara Region in enemy territory ready to cheer them on. The Badgers meanwhile are expected to have a capacity crowd behind them on home court and will no doubt be determined to take down their rivals. It will be compelling to see if Brock can bring Ryerson back down to earth. Tip-off on OUA.TV with the women up first goes at 6:00 p.m. ET / 3:00 p.m. PT with the men following at 8:00 p.m. ET / 5:00 p.m. PT.
