Showing the flag for Rainmaker basketball in CIS this year are Justin McChesney with the T-Birds and Kyler Eckess with Thomson Rivers and both are getting their share of some floor time as the pre-season continues on.

| Kyler Eckess at the TRU Wolfpack were in action on Thursday |

| Justin McChesney and the UBC T-Birds host the UBC Invitational this weekend in Vancouver |
Last weekend both players saw action in separate locations, with Justin McChesney and the UBC T-Birds in Edmonton for the Golden Bear Invitational. McChesney saw action in two games taking on the University of Western Ontario Mustangs on Friday night and then North Bay's Nipissing University on Saturday night.
For Kyler Eckess and the Thomson Rivers University Wolfpack, Langley was the destination with a 92-78 victory over the Trinity Western.
This week, the Wolfpack provided for some pre-tournament competition for a visiting Ontario school on Thursday. The TRU squad finished up their pre season schedule at the UBC War Memorial Gym with a 71-66 victory over Thunder Bay's Lakehead University, Thursday's game marks their only game in Vancouver on the weekend.
The Thunderbirds see action tonight at 7 PM taking on Wilfred Laurier from Kitchener Ontario, Saturday UBC meets up with Lakehead.
The games are available on the CanadaWest subscription TV service
The first opportunity for a potential Rupert reunion on the court comes up next weekend when the CIS regular season opens up with a two game series between UBC and Thomson Rivers hosted at the Kanloops campus.
