The Mustangs will wrap up the regular season this week, as they welcome Brock and McMaster to Alumni Hall on Wednesday and Saturday, respectively.

Saturday's game is Senior Day for the Mustangs with fifth-year Eric McDonald playing his last regular season home game in purple and white.

The Mustangs are coming off a split week last week with a loss against Waterloo before defeating Laurier on Saturday. Heading into the final week of the season Western has a 6-12 record, and are currently ranked 16th in the OUA RPI, four spots behind Lakehead for the league's final playoff spot.

Omar Shiddo continues to lead the Mustangs in scoring with an average of 15.3 points per game, including a career-high 36 points in their win over Laurier. Eriq Jenkins follows with 12.2 points per game, while teammates and veterans Cam Morris and Jedson Tavernier record 8.7 and 8.6 points per game, respectively.

Jenkins leads the team on the boards with 5.5 rebounds per game, while Nikola Farkic registers 4.4 rebounds and Morris and Ian Smart contribute an average 3.8 rebounds a game. The Mustangs exhibited strong defence in their contest against Laurier, grabbing 46 rebounds, a combined 15 from Jenkins and Shiddo.

Western vs. Brock Badgers - Wednesday, February 15 - 8:00p.m. – Tune in live on OUA.tv and CHRW Radio

The Brock Badgers are currently on an eight-game winning streak, with their record sitting at 13-4, good for first in the Central Division and fourth on the RPI. Their most recent loss came back on January 13, a 75-64 defeat at the hands of the Lakehead Thunderwolves.

Dani Elgadi and Johneil Simpson lead the Badgers with 15.1 and 12.5 points per game, respectively. Elgadi has hit double digits in every contest this season, while also leading the team in rebounds with 10.6 per game. In order to come out on top on Wednesday, the Mustangs will need to limit the success of the veteran forward, both on the scoresheet and on the glass.

Rebounding will be key on Wednesday night, with the Badgers averaging an OUA second-best 42.4 per game, while Western is last with 31.9 rebounds per outing. The Mustangs will have to put up a similar performance to their 46 rebounds against Laurier in order to limit second chance points for the Badgers.

Connor Gilmore leads the way for the Hamilton-based squad with 19.1 points per game, having scored double digits in very contest including a 20-point performance in their victory over Algoma. Guards Rohan Boney and David McCulloch also contribute significant points to the Maruaders offence, averaging 14.2 and 13.1 points per game.

Gilmore also leads in rebounds grabbing an average 8.9 a game, while Boney records 7.0 rebounds, making the team high eight rebounds against Algoma.

Strong defence will be key for the Mustangs on Saturday, as each of the Marauders eight victories have come by more than 10 points, including a 31-point win over Laurier on January 11.
