UCFV game report plus UCFV/Winnipeg Box Score

Manitoba (7-15, 4-11) 77, Thompson Rivers (3-16, 2-15) 62 The Bisons won their third in a row with a road win in Kamloops. Manitoba/Thompson Rivers Box Score Still Manitoba must make up 4 games in the standings against either Winnipeg or Regina, although the Bisons do host the Cougars twice on the final weekend of the season. Manitoba will have to be within one game of the Cougars by that time to have any hope of compete for a playoff spot. With games remaining against Brandon (twice), at Calgary and at Fraser Valley (tonight), the task is daunting.
