UVic visits UBC on Thursday
With all respect to the Alberta Golden Bears versus Calgary Dinos, Saskatchewan Huskies versus Regina Cougars or Manitoba Bisons versus Winnipeg Wesmen, it’s UVic versus UBC that is the greatest rivalry in Canada West basketball.
The traditional regular-season closing set between the teams begins tonight at War Memorial Gym in Vancouver and concludes Saturday night in CARSA gym at UVic. Watts has seen the rivalry from both sides in the women’s derby as star player and assistant coach for the Thunderbirds and now Vikes head coach.
The Vikes men go into the set after suffering the biggest upset of the Canada West, and likely entire U Sports season, when the previously U Sports national top-ranked Vikes were knocked off 86-83 by lowly UBC-Okanagan in Kelowna last weekend as Vikes scoring star Diego Maffia went 3-for-19 from the three-point line, although he still leads Canada West and all of U Sports in scoring with a 23.6 points-per-game average.
