The feature matchup in Canada West play last night was essentially over late in the second quarter as the hometown Trinity Western Spartans exploded to a 17 point lead with a 59 point first half, holding 6'1" Rejean Chabot in check and coasted to an 11 point win over Saskatchewan 102-91. TWU had 7 players in double figures offsetting a 42 point effort from Jamelle Barrett, with most of those coming in the second half. Watching the end of the first half, the Spartans played with an urgency and emotion that displayed their wide array of offensive talent.
