CIS GAME PREVIEWS FOR SUNDAY
AUS
2 pm Eastern/ 3 pm local #8 StFX (8-5, 24 pts) at UPEI (6-9, 24 pts) In battle of teams tied for third place currently, X looks to break a streak that has seen them lose 4 of their last 6 games. The game features a matchup of two of Canada's top post players as 6'10" Neil McDonald faces 6'9" Doug McKinney. X still has an opportunity to finish in the top 2 to obtain a bye in the first round of the AUS tournament and needs a win to keep pace with CBU and Acadia.

OUA WEST
3 pm Eastern Western (10-8) at #7 Windsor (12-6) Windsor looks to break their 3 game losing streak while the Mustangs look to solidify their hold on a home playoff game with a victory at the St.Denis Center. 6'8" Alan Paron has given Western quality minutes lately. The Lancers need a stronger overall team defensive effort than they've been getting recently.

CANADA WEST
6 pm Eastern/3 PM local Thompson Rivers (1-21) at #6 Victoria (19-3) UBC removed any remaining mystery from which team would capture the Canada West Pacific division pennant by thrashing Fraser Valley last night, so Vic will meet Simon Fraser in the playoffs. However, the Vikes need to continue to win for post-season seeding purposes.
