- The TRU Wolf Pack, over the Holiday period, lost the services of 2nd year and former all-rookie guard, Jeff Tubbs. “It is not ideal that now you are trying to figure out player rotations,” Clark said about the situation. Madhu McConnell (1st year, Victoria, BC) looks to be the player stepping up in the rotation. Coach Scott Clark says, “ Madhu has seen an increase in playing time and he has responded.” From Larry Read, TRU Athletics
- The UC Women (8-3) came back strong in the 2nd half for a 69-59 win over UFV (7-4). The home team trailed by 3 at the half, but scored 33 points in a hectic 3rd stanza to pull away.
- You can tell it’s a big point spread in the game when Canada West TV broadcasters Lucas Meyer and John Tramble ‘drift off the dock’ with a thorough discussion of favourite movies and tastiest meals! Focus boys, focus ….
