The fifth-year veteran from Kamloops will no doubt have this weekend circled on his calendar as it will mark the final time that he'll get to play Canada West basketball in his hometown. Ledoux enters the weekend leading the TWolves with 15.6 points-per-game and currently ranks third in Canada West field-goal percentage (55.2 percent). Ledoux has been the epitome of consistency as he's managed double-digit points in all 14 games this season.

14th in CW Standings
72.9 Points Scored Per Game (16th)
74.0 Points Allowed Per Game (5th)

Player To Watch: Asher Mayan
15.3 PPG, 3.5 RPG, 1.3 APG, 0.5 SPG
 
Fourth-year forward Asher Mayan has only played four games so far this season, but his return to the TRU lineup has meant a big boost offensively for the WolfPack. He's averaged 16-or-more points in each of his previous three games, and so far has drained seven-of-18 from beyond the arc in that same span. Lats weekend in Kelowna, Mayan hit an impressive 10 free-throws on 12 attempts in a loss to UBC Okanagan.

Milestone Watch: 

Darren Hunter recently surpassed 400 career Canada West points. 
Justin Sunga now has over 300 career Canada West points. 
Evgeny Baukin grabbed his 100th career Canada West rebound last weekend.
Evgeny Baukin (283) needs just 17 points to reach 300 for his Canada West career.
Chris Ross (394) is just six rebounds shy of 400.
