The U of C Dinos faced the veteran Lethbridge Pronghorns this past weekend at the Jack Simpson Gymnasium in a pair of critical Mountain Division match-ups. The result: a split for the Dinos, and a log jam in the Mountain Division as three teams, U of S, U of A, and U of C all sit at 3-3 while U of L sits at 2-4. A major performer over the weekend for the Dinos was 2nd year power forward Robbie Sihota, this week’s Dino of the Week.

Robbie was in early foul trouble in the first match-up against the ‘Horns, but was able to use his playing time to the fullest. Robbie scored only 7 points in the first half, but exploded in the second half for 14 points to finish the game 8-12 from the field, 2-3 from beyond the 3pt. arc, and 3-4 from the free throw line for 21 points in only 19 minutes of action. Robbie also added 3 rebounds, 1 block and 1 steal in a very efficient night.

In the Dinos overtime loss, Robbie was once again a force in the paint. Robbie played a key role in the Dinos press and was huge on the glass. Despite a poor shooting night (3-11 from the field), Robbie finished 6-8 from the free throw line, and pulled down 10 big rebounds. Robbie finished the night with 13 points and 10 rebounds in 33 minutes of action.

The Dinos finish up the first half of the season with 4 more critical Mountain Division games. This weekend, the Dinos travel to Edmonton to face the Golden Bears who are currently tied with the Dinos for first place in the Division. The Dinos, who are 3-1 in their last four games hope to make a splash as the Bears have lost 3 straight games.
