UVic hosts UBC on Friday night
It seems just like old times — the University of Victoria Vikes versus the UBC Thunderbirds in a sold-out and raucous gymnasium. The only thing missing will be the “Bird Busters” rally towels from the old McKinnon Gym days.
“It feels like the old times, but back then we used to play UBC four times in the regular season, and the playoff were best-of-threes,” said Vikes head coach Craig Beaucamp.“The culture of our program is in a good spot,” said Beaucamp, of the recent-seasons rise of the Vikes. The hand of fate, and the brackets, have offered up two derbies for the final four in the conference. While UBC crosses the strait today to Gordon Head to play UVic, the Winnipeg Wesmen travel across town to meet the University of Manitoba Bisons in the other Canada West semifinal on Saturday.
