On the drive for back-to-back national titles, the Lethbridge College Kodiaks are the first potential roadblock.
The UNBC Northern Timberwolves will start the Canadian Colleges Athletic Association men's basketball championship with a Thursday game against the Kodiaks. In the eight-team tournament, being played at Durham College in Oshawa, Ont., UNBC is seeded fourth and Lethbridge is ranked fifth.
"It will be a tough game," said Timberwolves guard Inderbir Gill, the MVP of last year's nationals, which saw UNBC beat the host SAIT Trojans 96-63 in the final game. "[The Kodiaks] are similar to us because they run, but they have a really big guy and a few nice shooting guards. We've got to focus on what we do best."
