The Spartan men’s basketball team was in Kamloops, BC last weekend to take on the winless Thompson Rivers University WolfPack basketball squad. In their first game, TWU seemed to be in pretty good shape after closing out the second quarter with a 45-28 advantage. However, a very determined TRU’s squad shocked the Spartans, rallying to defeat the Spartans 89-85. Luke Robinson led the way for TWU with 25 points.
The following evening, the Spartans still had Friday’s loss fresh in their minds and knew that they had something to prove. The game was very close from start to finish, but at the end of the second quarter, the WolfPack were up on TWU 42-31. Yet, a valiant effort after halftime saw the Spartans come together to defeat TRU 88-84. Robinson again led the way for the Spartans, this time by finishing the night off with 31 points.
The Spartans host their next two games next weekend as they take on the University of Winnipeg on Friday, November 23, and then play the University of Manitoba the following Saturday. Both games start at 8:00 PM.
Now you go...
Got something to say?
