Ryerson University to host 2014 Wilson Cup, tickets on sale Friday
HAMILTON, Ont. – Ontario University Athletics (OUA) is pleased to announce that Ryerson University will host the 2014 Wilson Cup, presented by Recharge with Milk. The Final Four format tournament will be played at the Mattamy Athletic Centre (MAC) from February 28-March 1 and will be broadcast live on Sportsnet ONE. For the second consecutive year, each game will be held in the arena bowl.
OUA men’s basketball playoffs presented by Investors Group tipoff on February 19 with the East and West quarter-final games, followed by the divisional semifinals on February 22.
“We are excited to once again host the OUA Wilson Cup in the Mattamy Athletic Centre at the Gardens,” Dr. Ivan Joseph, Ryerson University Athletic Director said. “The quality of basketball and the fan experience is second to none in the country.
