Dino of the Week - November 14, 2005

Filed under: — Matt Skinn @ 10:31 am

After two courageous performances on the road against arch Alberta Golden Bears, Chris Wright is the Dino of the Week.

Despite only playing 8 minutes in the first half due to foul trouble, CW had a terrific second half and overtime for the Dinos. Although the outcome was not in their favour (90-88 OT loss), the Dinos repeated went to CW down the stretch, and he came through. After going 0-1 from the floor in the first half, Chris finished 7-14 from the floor, 1-3 from 3pt. range, and 7-9 from the line to finish with 22 points in 32 minutes of action including a key three, and a monstrous dunk on Golden Bear Dean Whalen in the dying minutes of the game. Chris was also a monster on the boards grabbing a game high 14 rebounds.

The second game seemed eeringly similar to the first game, with Chris playing limited minutes in the first half due to foul trouble. Once he re-entered the game, Chris played very well scoring 14 points in only 21 minutes of action which included scoring 7 of 9 from the floor. Chris also grabbed 7 rebounds in the Dino loss.

The Dinos play at the University of Manitoba against the Bisons in two early season must win games.
