The top 15 teams in Ontario Colleges Athletic Association (OCAA) men's basketball have punched their tickets to the post-season. All that remains is who will get the invite to the 2023 OCAA Men's Basketball Championship hosted by St. Clair College in Windsor, Ont., beginning Mar. 3.
As host, the St. Clair Saints (15-3, 1st West) have earned an automatic entry into the competition. The remaining slots will be determined on Saturday, with seven sudden death crossovers taking place across the province. Teams will play an opponent from the opposite division based on seeding for the opportunity to advance to provincials.
All games will be webcasted on OCAA Live. Here is a closer look at the match-ups.
