Friday's game preview Story in NDN
01/12/09 - BCCAA Athlete of the Week !! Mike Wohlers of the men's basketball team was awarded BCCAA Athlete of the week Mike Wohlers is in his third year, but first with Mariners basketball. Mike has been a huge reason for our early success this season. This past weekend was no exception. Douglas played very well this past weekend and shot the ball exceptionally well. It was a battle to get out of there with 2 wins, and in large part it was due to the play of Wohlers. He gives us an outside presence that extend defenses and allow our big men up front to go to work inside.
In Friday nights victory, Wohlers led the VIU attack with 20 points, incuding 12 in the second half. Saturday he bounced back with another solid performance with 26 points on 9/17 shooting, including 5/8 from beyond the arc and 3/4 from the line.
06/12/09 - MEN'S BASKETBALL IN THE COMMUNITY!! The VIU Men's Basketball team put in a full 7 hours of none stop packing of groceries at Superstore on Saturday, December 5th. Funds raised went to children's charities and the VIU Men's basketball program.

MEN'S BASKETBALL PLAY CIS SCHOOLS Comments by Tony Bryce Head Coach Men's Basketball team .....
VIU Men's Basketball travelled to the mainland to battle some CIS competition this past weekend. Friday night the Mariners battled a solid SFU squad in a scrimmage format, playing 5 total quarters. The scrimmage went well, but I thought our intensity and communication could have been much better. We came out a little flat and seemed intimidated to start, but after the first quarter did a much better job. Overall a very good experience for our younger players looking to make the transition to the post secondary game.
Saturday the M's visited UBC and once again played 5 quarters in a scrimmage format. UBC is a deep talented squad but I felt we were much better than on Friday night. I thought physically we battled hard and did not let them push us around, which was very nice to see. It was a fantastic effort from the entire group and compared to last years scrimmage, I felt for the most part this past Saturday we hung around. What we need to understand is "if we practice and play consistently at that level then we will be tough to beat, but it has to happen every time we step in the gym".
