The McMaster Marauders men's basketball team will face the Guelph Gryphons back-to-back this week.

The Marauders are coming off a weekend series in which they welcomed the Lakehead Thunderwolves in Hamilton.
 
In the season opener on Friday night, the Marauders fell to the Thunderwolves in a very close 84-83 game.
 
However, McMaster came into the second game on Saturday with determination and beat Lakehead 91-80.
