The University of Winnipeg Wesmen are joining several other Canada West teams in a scheduling experiment to find the best Saturday game/match times for fans and families who enjoy the excitement of University sport.The first early basketball games will be this Saturday, November 1st when the Wesmen Basketball teams take on the University of Calgary Dinos. Start time for the women’s game will be 2:00 p.m. followed by the men’s game at 4:00 pm.It’s hoped that all generations of fans will enjoy the new earlier start times. The dual advantage of freeing up Saturday evenings and enhancing the student athlete experience with better travel schedules and time for academic focus are a part of the experiment. Selected Saturday afternoon basketball and volleyball contests will continue through the 2014-2015 season.

The basketball teams will play their 2014-2015 Canada West regular season opening games on Friday night, October 31st,  at the usual start times of 6:00 p.m. (women) and 8:00 p.m. (men). All games will take place in the Dr. David F. Anderson Gymnasium inside the Duckworth Centre on Spence Street.
