They are known as the Redmen. McGill is one of only a hand full of English speaking universities in Quebec.

I noticed that Avery Cadogan is a McGill player from Winnipeg and could be familiar with Daniel Sackey.

Here is a more up to date roster for the McGill Redmen.

It appears that the player from Winnipeg graduated last year.

The Carleton University Ravens (Ottawa) have the Valpo game listed on their ticket purchasing website. Their game against South Florida is being played at Place Bell in Laval, Quebec, just north of Montreal but not on the Island of Montreal (Ile de Montreal). Their games against Valpo & Albany are being played at the Ravens Nest on the Carleton campus in Ottawa. Five teams are playing at the Place Bell in Laval, Carleton, McGill, South Florida, Quinnipiac and Concordia-Montreal. Valpo, Albany and University of Quebec-Montreal are being left out of the Can Am games at the bigger arena.

The University of Quebec-Montreal is known as UQAM,

Interesting. They show seven freshman and only one senior.  Lots of size.

McGill's record in the CanAm games last year was 0-4.

vs Cincinnati   08/07/18   53-79   L

ARNAUD BOYER-CILLIS in his third year at McGill also went to Vanier College, which is the same post secondary school that Max Joseph and Tevonn Walker attended.

Concordia University (French: Université Concordia; commonly referred to as Concordia) is a public comprehensive university located in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.[6] Founded in 1974 following the merger of Loyola College and Sir George Williams University, Concordia is one of the three universities in Quebec where English is the primary language of instruction.

It doesn't show the Valpo game as being shown on their website.

I have no idea on the quality of their basketball program, but academically McGill is one of the very best universities in Canada.

Saturday's game against McGill at 2 p.m. will be streamed live on Valparaiso's athletics website,

[VU2014]

I'm expecting us to look "messy" and a bit "chaotic" on the court.

Lot's of new parts and guys learning to play together. The Canadian teams will be in midseason form because they can practice all year around together, while the NCAA mandates time off.

But regardless, of how we play it should be a good experience for the team.

Not to worry as long as they are gritty.

I'm hoping it is in English. The site is English so the broadcast should be too. The other games, if streamed, probably would be in French.

Live Valpo Basketball in August. What a (digital) world.

[VUBBFan]

Looks like Valpo's going with the Brown uniforms this game.

It's a bit hard to tell, but no Fazekas yet?

Did their announcer just say Valpo had a butt load of triples?

[NativeCheesehead]

Turn. The. Camera.

[FieldGoodie05]

Turn. The. Camera.

I get score board errors and announcers slipping in "butt load of threes", but the camera is exceedingly easy to turn.  I'm not even asking for in focus...
