For a review of last night's CIS action (all in the OUA West), click here
In the only CIS game on tap this evening, Trinity Western (7-7) visits UCFV (3-11) as the Spartans expect star guard Brian Banman to return after being out for an extended period with recurring knee problems, originally stemming from a serious car accident he was involved in 2 1/2 years ago. TWU severely missed their all-conference candidate last weekend, incurring a pair of double digit losses to UVic. UCFV broke a long losing streak with an exciting, last second victory against Regina but has lost the first 2 games of the season series with TWU both in Langley by 8 and by 1 in which Banman hit three free throws in the dying seconds to give the Spartans the come-from-behind victory.

Another of the bi-weekly articles by our good friend Jim Thomas, who has been around the Ontario hoops scene since the late 70's. His insights into recruiting are tremendous; however, in the current edition of his newsletter, he pays tribute to 6'8" Alan Paron as a potential league all-star, high praise for someone averaging about 3 points, 3 rebounds and 10 minutes per game :) The remainder of the article provides readers with his usual top-notch insights into the top high school players in Ontario and their possible destinations next season.
