The traveling hoop show known as the Calgary Dinos takes to the road ( actually, the skies) again this week to face the University of Manitoba Bisons in Winnipeg. Both teams are winless in Canada West action thus far, and the Bisons will be hoping home court will give them an advantage.

The Dinos are trailing in the standings, but we are all aware that 16 games remain, and an 0-4 record can be turned around with a concerted effort by every team member. This past weekend saw some very positive signs for the Dinos:

- Ross Bekkering continues to show signs that he is a threat on a night to night basis in Canada West. His athleticism and activity on the boards will carry him through his rookie campaign.

- There is no real answer to Chris Wright in the post or when he has it going from the perimeter.

- Josh Feist continues to progress as he gets into the flow after missing early season action during injury.

- Sonny Khangura’s addition to the Dino lineup should bolster a somewhat thin front court.

The team hopes that a solid week of practice will help them as they travel once again to Winnipeg for two crucial conference games.
