UBC Coach Kevin Hansen's comments
On Saturday afternoon we won the last of our exhibition games, 67-61 over Waterloo, and now we are getting ready for our SEASON OPENER at home this Friday against a very good Trinity Western team. Apparently, they are bringing bus loads so we want to PACK THE GYM!!! Bring some friends and make a night of it. It is going to be a battle! Then we will see you at Mahony’s for some post-game talk.
Overall, all three exhibition games were extremely good for us. All of these teams (Laval, Windsor, Waterloo) at some point will be in the top 10. They are three very well coached teams with veteran players and each game was a great experience. From our team stand point we know that we are deep but we need to start defining roles. We have nine returning players and six new guys but we need to start playing together better. As coaches we expect that players can pick things up quickly and should be able to execute but maybe sometimes (and often) our expectations are too high. We need to keep the big picture in mind and continue to grow as a team.

McMaster stays on unbeaten hoops streak
The McMaster University men's basketball team improved its non-conference record to 8-0 with two victories on the weekend against a pair of perennially tough Atlantic Conference opponents.
The Marauders topped St. Francis Xavier X-Men 88-54 on Friday and followed that with a 77-61 win over the Saint Mary's Huskies last night. Both were played at Burridge Gym.
"That was probably as good a game as we've played in the last 10 years," Mac coach Joe Raso said of his team's performance against the previously undefeated X-Men.
