        After the season, the team were seeded by RPI for the postseason playoffs. The top four seeds – Alberta (1), Calgary (2), U.B.C. (3) and Manitoba (4) – received first round byes.

        In the opening round of the postseason playoffs: ………………………………………………… The 5th-seeded Victoria Vikes dispatched the 12th-seeded Brandon Bobcats 88-80. The Bobcats led 28-23 after one quarter after ripping off a 13-0 run, including a pair of treys by Dominique Dennis, as well as dunks by Dennis and Haashim Wallace. The score was knotted at 43 at the half and at 66 after three quarters. The Vikes battled back by pounding the ball inside to Hayden Lajeune and Matthew Ellis. “My team got me the ball, our coach made an emphasis to get it inside. I felt good, it was fun out there and we liked the matchups,” said Lejeune. “If I hit a jumper early from the outside, I know it’s going to be a good night.” Vikes freshman Diego Maffia opened the second half with a pair of treys and then drilled another to end the third quarter. Vikes coach Craig Beaucamp said “we knew it was going to be a back-and-forth game. They’re not really a 12 seed. They’re very athletic and pressured us all night, but we were ready for it mentally and weren’t surprised by their attack. Hats off to Brandon, they played quite well.” Beaucamp added that Ellis and Washington-product Dominick Oliveri, returning from an injury that kept him out of the line-up for more than two months, were difference makers on the boards. “The thing that sticks out about having Dom and Matt back was that we won the rebounding battle 50-30. Matt had 18 points and Dom had a grabbed a couple big rebounds for us,” said Beaucamp. Jaleel Webb drilled a trey to draw the Bobcats within one with three minutes to play. But a spin move by Lejeune gave the Vikes an insurmountable 83-77 lead. Beaucamp said “we didn’t panic when we were down. We tried to peck away, get a few stops, follow those up with a good offensive possession by getting the ball down low and putting pressure on them. It basically took us all 40 minutes to get a lead.” Bobcats assistant Keith Van Walleghem said “the Vikes are a big team and wore us down with their size. They crashed the offensive boards well and their physicality overcame us. They’re a big, strong team that played well tonight. … In the fourth, their physicality wore us down. We lost our legs from the grinding and the pounding. They also hit some big shots late that we couldn’t come back from.” Van Walleghem added that Bobcat freshman Anthony Tsegakele was exceptional. “I thought Anthony came out tonight with a lot of energy. We asked a lot out of him with our full-court press. He denied the ball well and recovered in time. He rose to the occasion, crashed the boards and overall played really well and showed us that he’s going to be a good player for a long time with us.” Matthew Ellis paced Victoria with 18 on 7-13 from the floor, 4-4 from the line, 6 boards 2 assists and 2 blocks. Hayden Lejeune added 18 on 8-14 from the floor, 0-1 from the arc, 2-4 from the line, 11 boards and 4 assists.

The Huskies took command with an opening 8-0 run. They dominated the boards, while their defence was stifling, as they led by as many as 20. “That was a good playoff win, if you’re not going to be solid at the defensive end in the playoffs you’re going to have difficulty so that was a good win for us,” said Huskies coach Barry Rawlyk. “I give full credit to all of our assistant coaches, they came up with a really good game plan and to all of our players for executing it.” Thompson Rivers coach Scott Clark said “I thought we did what we had to do to try and keep the game close but at the end of the day they made more plays than we did and they beat us on the glass,” said WolfPack head coach Scott Clark. “That’s a credit to them, they played hard and their effort was great but I’m proud of what my guys did and their effort as well. At the end of the day if you give up 20 second-chance points that’s just too many.” Alexander Dewar paced Saskatchewan with 18 on 8-18 from the floor, 2-5 from the arc, 2 boards, 2 assists and 2 steals.

The Wesmen led 21-20 after one quarter on a 10-2 run featuring a pair of treys by Don Dayrit, 54-41 at the half and 59-57 after three quarters, despite scoring just 4 points in the third frame as the Cascades collapsed on Narcisse Ambanza and closed out quickly on Winnipeg’s perimeter shooters. The score was knotted at 76 after regulation. The Cascades had led by 71-65 with 3:30 to play but with fifth-year starters Parm Bains and Sukhjot Bains having fouled out, Winnipeg was able to rally to knot the score at 72 on an and-one from Donte Makazu and a pair of D.J. Dixon free throws. Ambanza answered with a pair of free throws for Winnipeg and then Ambanza and Dixon hit free throws to give the Wesmen a 76-72 lead with 20 seconds to play. Fraser Valley answered with a free throw from Matt Cooley with 13.5 seconds to play. He missed the second but knocked the rebound off a Winnipeg defender and out of bounds. On the inbounds, Jaskarn Bajwa missed a corner trey, Kenan Hadzovic missed a putback, and the rebound came out to Sekhon at the top of the key, and he rattled home the trey to tie the score with 4.4 seconds to play to overtime. In overtime, Cooley and Daniel Adediran scored seven points apiece as the Cascades pulled away. Cascades coach Adam Friesen said he was “not really quite sure at the moment” how the Cascades pulled off the miracle rally. “Obviously a great basketball game. The battle we showed in the second half was a positive, no matter how the end of regulation played out. But Jordyn’s three-pointer gave us a second life, and Matt Cooley in particular really carried us in that overtime and got us that win in the end.” Sekhon said of his late trey: “Kenan had the tip and missed, and the ball came out … I shot it and it felt good, and it went in. … It felt pretty good, not gonna lie.” Wesmen coach Mike Raimbault said “I thought Fraser Valley did a really good job of adjusting in the third quarter, forcing the tempo of the game to be a little bit more in their favour. And I just thought they made more plays than we did to start the overtime.” Vick Toor paced Fraser Valley with 19 on 7-15 from the floor, 1-3 from the arc, 4-4 from the line, 9 boards, 4 assists and 3 steals. Matt Cooley added 14 on 4-10 from the floor, 0-1 from the arc, 6-8 from the line, 9 boards, 5 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks.

Lethbridge led 49-46 at the half after notching a late 16-2 run, and 78-65 after three quarters. “It was an excellent game both ways,” said Pronghorns interim head coach James McKinnon. “Both teams came out in a high scoring affair, but full credit to Regina and their season. For us, it’s a good victory to have and I am pretty proud of the way my boys fought and got the victory. … Heading into the second round, we are the underdogs. For us, it is about having a why not mentality.” Regina opened the final frame with a 6-0 run but Keanu Funa and Colton Gibb would respond with consecutive baskets to restore an 82-71 lead for Lethbridge.

        In the quarterfinals, the top-seeded Alberta Golden Bears clipped the 8th-seeded Lethbridge Pronghorns 92-81. “I was happy we played well in that first quarter.

        The 4th-seeded Manitoba Bisons dusted the 5th-seeded Victoria Vikes 81-61. The Bisons broke to a 20-4 lead and were never seriously threatened, leading 26-8, 38-27 and 55-37 at the quarters. Victoria rallied no closer than 7, in the second quarter. “Rashawn [Browne] was awesome today. Fifth-year senior and an all-star, and he looked like it today,” said Bisons coach Kirby Schepp. “He led us in every way, not just scoring the ball, but also finding others. His leadership was outstanding. … I was really happy with our energy level. Anytime you can get a week off, it really helps you get rested, and we got a bit more time to prep and scout, which helped us a lot. … Victoria is too good and too well coached to go away. We knew they would push us, and they started to get physical on us in the middle of that game. The last run of the game was ours, which was the difference.” Vikes coach Craig Beaucamp said “the start is what really hurt us. We opened this game really slow, and just chasing Manitoba. We had a few runs in the second and third, but you basically have to play perfect after trailing like that. They are a good team, and when you chase, you also give up some easy buckets, which we did.” Rashawn Browne paced the Bisons with 21 on 8-17 from the floor, 3-7 from the arc, 2-3 from the line, 6 boards, 12 assists and 3 steals.

Brent Layton answered with a bucket for the Dinos, but then Jaden Cohee scored the next nine points, included a trey and six free throws in the final minute to ice the win for the Thunderbirds. “I’m just thrilled,” said UBC coach Kevin Hanson. “To come on the road and in back-to-back years qualify for the national championships is a tough thing to do. It certainly showed the resilience and I think our team has played really well on the road this year. … Obviously they missed [Ezeoha] Santiago [who was hospitalized] a bit but I thought in the fourth quarter we really showed and stepped up our defence and played a little more aggressive and I think that was the difference.” Dinos coach Dan Vanhooren said “we haven’t had our full lineup all year and for us to come into this game without Santiago who has been in the hospital and with Brett having the flu, I think we showed some guts today to give ourselves a chance. Am I disappointed in the loss? Yes, but I can’t be disappointed in the performance because I think the team played well enough to win.” Manroop Clair paced the Thunderbirds with 26 on 7-13 from the floor, 5-10 from the arc, 7-11 from the line and 5 boards.

Luckily we were able to hang on in the end there. … It’s the old cliché – we’re really just focussed on ourselves, and I think we really are. We’re peaking at the right time and the guys are enjoying what they’re doing.” Golden Bears coach Barnaby Craddock said “they were all over us out of the gate.

        After the season, Fraser Valley athletic director Steve Tuckwood turfed coach Adam Friesen and replaced him with Douglas Royals coach Joe Enevoldson. “Joe is a proven coach who has taken the Douglas College program to another level,” Tuckwood said. “We also know that he has strong connections with basketball development in the province of British Columbia, and we’re excited to have him come and join us.” Enevoldson guided Douglas to PACWEST medals in each of his four years on campus – bronze in 2016-17, gold in 2017-18, silver in 2018-19, and gold in 2019-20. His Royals qualified for the CCAA national championships in two occasions, winning silver in 2018 and earning the No. 1 overall seed heading into the 2019-20 tournament, which was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Enevoldson posted a 50-22 record in league play, and was voted the PACWEST coach of the year each of the past two years. He also earned CCAA national coach of the year honours. He served as an assistant coach with the UBC Thunderbirds (2003-04), and had stints as a full-time assistant with the Thompson Rivers WolfPack (women’s team 2005-06, men’s team 2013-15). He also has head coaching experience on the women’s side with Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (2006-07) and Mount Royal University (2007-13), helping the MRU Cougars make the jump to Canada West in 2012-13. “It’s a dream job,” Enevoldson said. “To coach at the U SPORTS level, the highest level of amateur sport in Canada, is exciting. I’m ecstatic about the opportunity to get back to that level and coach in a day-to-day scenario against some of the best coaches and athletes in the country. I plan to bring a culture that I believe is conducive to personal and athletic growth. I truly do believe that the holistic student-athlete is the best student-athlete. My goal will be to win the community, and to build a program that the Fraser Valley is proud of.”
        Lethbridge replaced interim coach James MacKinnon with Jermaine Small, who’d been coach and general manager of the Edmonton Stingers over the latter part of the 2019 Canadian Elite Basketball League campaign. Under Small, the Stingers went 10-2 and finished with a 14-6 record but lost to the eventual inaugural CEBL Champion Saskatchewan Rattlers in the postseason semifinals. “Jermaine’s coaching experience with other quality U SPORTS programs combined with his success with the CEBL Stingers allowed him to stand out as the best candidate for our new Head Coach,” said Sport and Recreation Executive Director Ken McInnes. We had an opportunity to interview several strong candidates and Jermaine was able to demonstrate how he was the best person to drive the development of a new path for our men’s program.” Small said “I am extremely excited and grateful for the opportunity. With a determined core group of returning players and a dedicated support system behind the program I believe I’ll be able to step in and develop a style of play that will take us to a new level.” Small as previous assistant coach at Queen’s for five years and assistant at Ryerson for three seasons.

        Following the season, Canada West that it was revising its format for 2020-21 as the Covid-19 pandemic “resulted in significant disruptions to member finances. The revised formats will also allow for competition to occur in a condensed period of time should COVID-19 restrictions limit, but not eliminate the amount of time available to complete the 2020-21 season.” Canada West president Clint Hamilton said “while there remains uncertainty around when university sport will return, the CW Board of Directors has worked diligently to ensure that when it does the conference and our members are prepared to navigate the difficult financial realities ahead of us.”

The new format created three divisions, with each team playing 16 games, as follows:

B.C. Division (7 teams): 3 games vs. 4 teams + 2 additional games vs. 2 teams

Alberta Division (5 teams): 4 games vs. 4 teams

Saskatchewan/Manitoba Division (5 teams): 4 games vs. 4 teams
