After transferring to TRU from King University Tornado of Bristol (Tennessee), 6'3" guard Dami Farinloye has made an immediate impact at both ends of the floor for the Pack. Heading into action this weekend, the Winnipeg product leads his team in points-per-game, rebounding, assists and steals. Last Saturday at home against Victoria, Farinloye exploded for 27 points on 10-of-13 which is easily a season-best.

The TWolves got a major boost to their lineup last Saturday with the return of fourth-year forward
Josh Gillespie. Gillespie, the team's reigning Defensive Player of the Year, hadn't played in a game since November 9
th in Victoria. His size, experience, and two-way ability immediately make the TWolves a tougher team to play against. The pride of Meridian, Idaho is a handful downlow, but a few times a game he won't hesitate to let it fly from deep. For the season, Gillespie is shooting at a tidy 48.6% success rate.
