<\/p>\n CALGARY \u2013 Rookie Zane MacFarlane<\/a> made an immediate impact in his Dinos debut, scoring a game-high 29 points to lead the University of Calgary Dinos men’s basketball team to an 84-73 season-opening victory over the University of Saskatchewan Huskies on Friday night at Jack Simpson Gym.\u00a0<\/p>\n The win was the Dinos’ ninth consecutive over the Huskies.\u00a0<\/p>\n Newcomer Gabe Vig<\/a> got Calgary on the board first, hitting a three-pointer early in the opening quarter for the Dinos’ first basket of the season. The teams traded baskets throughout the frame, and rookie Joshua Obasa<\/a> finished off a pick-and-roll with a dunk to give Calgary an 18-17 lead late in the quarter. Saskatchewan moved back in front, but Kace Archuleta<\/a> answered with a jumper at the buzzer to send the Dinos into the second quarter leading 20-19.\u00a0<\/p>\n Calgary created some separation in the second quarter, tightening up defensively and limiting Saskatchewan to five field goals on 24 attempts. The Dinos outscored the Huskies 22-14 to build a 42-33 lead at halftime, and the margin reached as much as 12 points during the quarter.<\/p>\n The Huskies responded in the third, outscoring the Dinos 24-20 to trim the deficit to 62-57 heading into the final 10 minutes. Saskatchewan kept pushing in the fourth and cut the deficit to four with 1:31 remaining.\u00a0<\/p>\n Calgary closed the game on a 7-0 run. MacFarlane started it with a jumper, and free throws from Archuleta, MacFarlane and Beckett Johnson<\/a> sealed the result.\u00a0<\/p>\n MacFarlane shot 10-of-21 from the field and 7-of-8 from the free-throw line and added five assists. Oliver Nadeau<\/a> had 14 points, Daniel Chijoke contributed 13 points, seven rebounds and four blocks, and Joshua Obasa<\/a> and Kace Archuleta<\/a> each scored eight.\u00a0<\/p>\n
