The Dinos women’s basketball team had a pair of matches Feb. 11-12 as important as the pair of humans on Noah’s Ark. With a 7-11 record heading into the weekend series, our ladies needed two wins as badly as a high frosh searching for an uh… 7-11.

The last two games were crucial for the Dinos men’s basketball team. They hosted the University of Alberta Golden Bears Jan. 14-15.

The Dinos men’s basketball team got busy over the holidays while the rest of us stuffed ourselves and laid around like beached whales. The men competed in the 2004 Holiday Classic tournament at Mount Royal College Dec. 30-31.
