Blazers Men's Basketball Claim First Title Since 2017
Your Blazers Men's Basketball Team are the 2023-24 MCAC Champions after a dominant performance over the Providence Pilots on Saturday night in St. Boniface. The Championship title is the first for the team since the 2016-17 season, and first under head coach Scott Martin who was voted the 2023-24 MCAC and NIAC Coach of the Year.
It was a familiar matchup in the final, as the past three MCAC championship games since the pandemic-cancelled season have featured the Blazers and the Pilots; however, the result was very different. The 2021-22 final featured the top-ranked Blazers upset by the Pilots on their home court in Niverville, while last year's championships saw a second half Blazers lead slip away in the dying minutes to the top-seeded Pilots, stunning the CMU home crowd. This year's edition was on neutral turf, and with both teams having nearly equal records it was anyone's guess who might come out on top.
