"The SAIT men's basketball team is looking forward to a challenging game versus the Calgary Stampeders. The Stamps have some very athletic and skilled basketball players that we know of and we have film on them so we should be prepared when the two teams meet next week," reports SAIT Head Coach Craig Anderson, "It will be some fast paced end to end action that will surely involve some great acrobatic shots; we are coming off a tough loss to Mount Royal in the conference final and would cherish the opportunity to compete against some of the best basketball players in Canada."
