Canada chooses young basketball teams for Gold Coast Commonwealth Games
The basketball adventure continues for Mambi Diawara and David Kapinga.
Just 15 days after leading the University of Calgary to its first ever national men’s basketball title, the two leave Monday for Australia and the Commonwealth Games. They will be joined by Ryerson’s Manny Diressa and Jean-Victor Mukama, who finished runner-up in a tight 79-77 U-Sports final.
The four players combined for 86 points in the title game, with Kapinga named championship MVP.
Catherine Traer, who helped Carleton to the women’s U Sports crown, will also be boarding a plane Monday with the women’s Commonwealth Games team.
