The undefeated No. 5 Saint Mary’s Huskies men’s basketball team will square off against their crosstown rivals in the No. 8-ranked Dalhousie Tigers at the Scotiabank Centre in downtown Halifax Friday – the host venue for the 2019 Men’s Basketball Final 8 in March. This marks the first regular season meeting between the two schools. With Dalhousie having a guaranteed spot in the Final 8 tournament as host for the second time in three seasons, the Huskies will be looking to prove they are also worthy of a spot among the game’s elite, with four players averaging more than 12 points through five games to start the campaign. The women’s teams will also be taking part in the event and meeting for the first time this year, with tip off scheduled for 5:00 p.m. ET / 2:00 p.m. PT. The men follow at 7:00 p.m. ET / 4:00 p.m. AT. Both games are available on AUStv.ca.

It will be a tough test for the Huskies as the defending national champion Bisons look to get back to their winning ways. Catch the first game Friday night at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT and the second game on Saturday at 5 p.m. ET / 2 p.m. PT on CanadaWest.TV.
