CALGARY – With injuries mounting, the Calgary Dinos fell to the No. 2 Alberta Golden Bears 96-67 Saturday night in the Jack Simpson Gym.

The Golden Bears scored 25 points in each of the final three quarters, finishing +18 from three-point range and +22 in the paint. On Friday night the Golden Bears shot 37% as a team, on Saturday seven Golden Bears were 50% or better from the field.
 
Third-year forward Adam Paige led the way for the Golden Bears, scoring a team-high 24 points on 9-of-17 shooting.
 
Following a strong start from the Calgary backcourt injuries took their toll, with primary offensive weapons Mason Foreman and Noah Wharton both exciting midway through the second quarter. From there, the rout was on.
 
With the Dinos labouring in the final 25 minutes of gameplay, Calgary fans turned their attention to Manyang Tong. The freshman Calgary forward is a highlight machine, and a strong fourth-quarter performance Friday earned Tong a starting spot Saturday – and he was electric. At both ends of the court Tong brought energy and excitement, punctuated by a dunk to end the third quarter.
