Tournament run Friday to Sunday at CARSA gym
The schools which have produced the two greatest men’s basketball dynasties in Canadian history meet this weekend as part of the annual Guy Vetrie Memorial Tournament on Ken and Kathy Shields Court at CARSA gym.
The Vikes showed their recent resurgence by playing 2023 NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 team Xavier tough in an 80-68 loss to the Musketeers in August in the bdG Sports Tournament in the Bahamas before losing 103-77 to the Penn State Nittany Lions, who made it to the second round of the NCAA tournament last spring and produced Denver Nuggets second-round 2023 NBA draft pick Jalen Pickett.
But while UVic’s pedigree is legendary in Canadian hoops circles, Carleton’s is off the charts. The Ravens have won 17 national championships since 2003, including the last four in a row, and 11 of the last 12.“They have had great continuity in their coaching staff and their culture and style of play has carried over and the players pick it up year to year. But we are getting closer and closer every year.
“These are three top-15 teams coming in [Carleton, Bishop’s Gaiters of Quebec and the University of Alberta Golden Bears] so this will be a good quality tournament and good quality test for all the teams.”
