The last time the University of Winnipeg Wesmen men's basketball team competed for a national championship, none of the players on this year's roster had been born yet.
Now the team's hoping to take home the biggest win of their careers thus far.
"It's obviously been a really special season for us. The guys have have worked extremely hard to be in this situation and the thing that I said to them yesterday was we got a chance to have another two weeks together," coach Mike Raimbault said.
The Wesmen defeated the second-seeded Manitoba Bisons 73-70 at Investors Group Athletic Centre on Saturday.
It was a Canada West conference semifinal matchup, with Bisons missing a buzzer-beating attempt that would've forced overtime.
"It was a great game. Obviously the atmosphere was electric," Raimbault said.
"There was you know, a sold-out crowd with a chance to go to nationals on the line, and and two really good young teams that played right to the end."
