Thursday, November 20^th will be the biggest challenge of the season for the Niagara College men's basketball (3-3, 4^th West) program. The Knights will be hosting the undefeated Humber Hawks (7-0, 1^st West). 

The Hawks are the top ranked team in the country and are coming off an 83-69 win over the Sheridan Bruins (3-3, 5^th West).  Third year center from Serbia Vule Grujic led the Hawks with 18 points and 16 rebounds.

After losing an opportunity to defeat Fanshawe, number 11 in the national rankings, the Knights are eager to show that they can contend with the best schools in the country.  Currently, Niagara is averaging five points more a game at home than on the road, something they will need against Humber.

Humber College only lost three games last season and they swept the season series against the Knights.  However, this is new roster put together by first year head coach Keith Vassell has won three of their last four contests and are looking to make a push up the OCAA standings.

The Niagara College men's and women's basketball programs will be conducting a new toy drive in support of The Hope Centre in Welland.  During the Knights home basketball games on Thursday, new toys will be accepted upon entry and spectators donating toys will receive free admission. 

Also, toys will be collected until Friday, December 5^th at the Welland Campus Athletic Centre reception desk.
