The University of Calgary Dinos basketball teams make their 2019-20 debut on home court in the Jack Simpson Gym this weekend as they host the annual Calgary Cup tournament. But there's a deeper meaning to the 2019 edition.
Last April, 19-year-old Andrew Milner passed away tragically after his second season as a member of the Dinos men's basketball team. Friday night marks the first home game for the Dinos since his death, and the program will pay tribute to his memory in a special pre-game ceremony ahead of their 8 p.m. game with St. Francis Xavier University.

LOCATION: Jack Simpson Gym
WOMEN’S GAME: 6 p.m., Calgary vs Windsor
