UVic and Calgary square off Friday and Saturday
The easiest prediction to make heading into the Canada West men’s basketball season is that the University of Victoria Vikes would top the preseason coaches poll, which they have easily done, heading into tonight’s season opener against the conference sixth-ranked Calgary Dinos on Ken and Kathy Shields Court in CARSA gym.
In other words, don’t focus on March and all the talk of a potential ninth national title in team history, but first since 1997, when Eric Hinrichsen patrolled the old McKinnon Gym floor en route to representing Canada in the 2000 Sydney Olympics. Not to mention making up for the loss in the national championship semifinals last season after going in as the top seed.
“We know we can manufacture points, and put up 85 to 90 consistently, but we’ve also really built on the defensive side,” said Beaucamp, who was assistant coach with Canada at the 2023 FIBA U-19 World Cup in Hungary over the summer. Ashlyn Day, a dominant Vikes performer and conference leading scorer, has graduated and leaves big running shoes to fill.
