The Holland Hurricanes men's and women's basketball teams will be in Truro Saturday afternoon to face the NSAC Rams with games at 2 p.m. (women) and 4 p.m. (men). Sunday, the teams will take-on the MTA Mounties with games in Sackville starting again at 2 p.m. and 4 p.m.

Men's Preview

The men's basketball team enters the weekend after a road-split last weekend, losing to STU before hammering UNBSJ. At 7-3 on the season, the men are currently in third place.

The ‘Canes beat NSAC handily early in the season, but the Rams added several players at Christmas and will present a much bigger challenge this time around. The Mounties always present a tough test, especially on their home-court.

Head Coach George Morrison is well-aware that NSAC can't be taken lightly.

"Their results of late are far different than their results before Christmas. They have added a couple of key pieces and have been challenging everyone they play. This is a game we need to win and we definitely cannot take them lightly," commented Morrison.

He also added, "Our focus right now is NSAC. Once that game is over we will focus on how we are going to beat MTA. They always play well at home and I don't think there is any question, that game will be a battle."
