This week we open up non-conference play on the road as we head to Victoria to play 3 of the semi-finalists from last year's CIS Final 8, including the perennial champion Carleton Ravens. Carleton is our first day match-up and will be followed by Alberta and Victoria. It's kind of like playing a Canadian version of Kentucky, Kansas and UCLA on the same weekend! Some great competition and an opportunity to measure ourselves against some of the top programs in the CIS.
Fri October 3th
6 pm Carleton vs. Bishops
Saturday October 4th
4 pm Bishops vs. Alberta
Sunday October 5th
2 pm Bishops vs. Victoria
We expect to be anchored by our veteran front court of Matt McLean, Majid Naji, Mike Andrews and David Belanger. Returning guards Jona Bermillo and Kurt Caro expect to be mainstays in our line-up and will be provide a solid core along with the addition of guards Kyle Desmarais (Concordia transfer), Karim Sy-Morrisette (McGill transfer) and Patrik Kabongo, who returns to the Gaiters after a year off. Returning veteran Jamil Abiad along with rookies Mathew Van Doorn, Serge Khayipangi, Jonathan Kabongo & Nikola Jovicic expect to provide the Gaiters with depth on the bench.
On Saturday we had a few alumni around for BU's Fall Homecoming and it was nice to touch base with them.We look forward to seeing a few more of you on the road this year and hopefully in our own gym in the new year.
