Mark,
I believe that you are forgetting Tim Mau of the Guelph Gryphons who was an All-Canadian 4 years in a row and honourable mention his first year while being named rookie of the year in Canada.
"I can tell you right now if Carleton were to play in our league and they were to play Calgary four times and Saskatchewan four times and us four times, they would not be undefeated."
Yet another non-OUA basketball figure who needs to learn that Carleton is not only the best team in the country but they do it while playing in the top league in the country.
I can tell you right now that if Alberta were to play in the OUA, they wouldn't be playing this weekend. They would have finished behind Carleton, Toronto, and Ottawa in the OUA east and probably have made it no further than the semi-finals in the OUA West.
It's a few minutes after the Carleton-Alberta game and I can officially say: Buh-bye, Coach Horwood. Better luck next year, assuming you can luck into the CIS final 8 once again on the strength of a wild-card berth and a single upset victory.
