WolfPack men sweep UNBC in basketball
KAMLOOPS —The Thompson Rivers University WolfPack are closer than ever to clinching their first ever Canada West men’s basketball divisional title.
The WolfPack improved to 14-2 with a weekend sweep of the visiting University of Northern British Columbia Timberwolves. The score on the Warner Rentals Court at the Tournament Capital Centre on Saturday (Feb 6) was 70-56.
The loss drops the Timberwolves to 3-13 on the campaign.
“We stayed the course throughout the game,” said Clark. “ We probably did more things right than wrong tonight than yesterday. We would do a couple of things right and then make a silly mental error. We need to clean that up. You are usually three possessions away from being a really good team and three possessions away from being a really bad team. It goes back to preparation. That is all we can control is our ability to prepare. If you don’t do that you don’t get your best performance. We have a couple of weeks left to improve upon that.”
“Tonight’s game was similar to Friday’s,” said UNBC bench boss Todd Jordan. “We were down one more guy because of injury. We were playing guys out of position and a lot of young kids. I was proud of the way they came out and battled. We just don’t have the veteran presence out there. It is tough to go with a lot of rookies against a team like TRU and expect to win. I was proud of the guys, the effort and the battle. There were some real positives we can use going forward.”
