The NC-Double Eh Schedule

Ok basketball fans this weekend is, for all intents and purposes, the beginning of the NCAA college basketball season.  Can Ball Report has, and will be doing so throughout the NC-Double Eh basketball season, provide a game schedule for our readers so they know which or our Canadian boys are playing who and when. 

All that we want to say is get the trusty lounger fluffed, make sure your snacks are stocked, send the family on a trip to the mall and in some cases, like my own, prepare the excuses for the spouse.  It's the beginning of the NC-Double Eh season and we have some big games going on from Friday to Sunday.  We're still tweaking the format and the like so please Hammer, don't hurt us.  Here's to one shining moment everyone.

After the last outing for Devoe Joseph, he may be a starter for this game.

Wagner @ Lafayette

Lafayette's Jared Mintz meets another Toronto native in Tyler Murray for Wagner.

Big game here.  Santa Clara's Marc Trasolini and Bakersfield's point guard Alex Johnson are among the best Canadians in the NCAA right now.
