BIG BILL FAN Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Anybody know the times for Canadian games? Earl Austin had the time of the first few games. “We are certainly excited about the trip to Canada,” SLU head coach Rick Majerus said. “A key benefit of the trip is that it provides us with an opportunity for 10 days of practice. We’re excited to be able to work with our players, and we feel confident that each and every one of them can become significantly better during that practice time by virtue of the individual attention we will be able to devote to them.” The first of the five exhibition games takes place Monday, Aug. 22, in Windsor, Ontario, located just across the border from Detroit, Mich. SLU faces the University of Windsor at 6 p.m. (CT) at the 2,500-seat St. Denis Centre on Windsor’s campus. SLU then heads east to London, Ontario, where it faces the University of Western Ontario Tuesday, Aug. 23. Game time at Alumni Hall is slated for 6 p.m. (CT). Next, the Billikens head east through Ontario to Ottawa for three games against Carleton University Aug. 25-27. Those games will be played on campus as well, with times and ticket information to come. “We will be competing against the Duke of Canadian basketball, Carleton University,” Majerus said. “We are also going to face the University of Windsor and the University of Western Ontario, two teams the University of Kentucky played last year on its Canadian trip. All three teams are extraordinarily coached by Chris Oliver (Carleton), Dave Smart (Windsor) and Brad Campbell (Western Ontario). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kwyjibo Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 On SLU's website: http://www.slubillik...skbl-sched.html There has been a change from the original release (see Earl's) as we are playing the GeeGees on Aug. 25th (uOttawa) and playing Carleton twice(we are likely playing the game at Carleton so that was likely the intent the whole time just not communicated well). LaSalle has already beaten the GeeGees by 12 and they lost to the Lakehead (ON) Thunderwolves. This team seems to be a step down from Carleton. I think I might go now just to pick up a GeeGee shirt.
