I cannot say enough about them. They are so good, they can afford to gamble. If they want to double-team an opponent, they know there will be a teammate there to help them out if they get in trouble. They do not have to worry about one player being cold or feeding a hot player. They have so many good players that all they have to do for points is hit the open man. … They are tremendously ball-conscious.” Saskatchewan had some success in the paint in the first half. Manitoba coach Bob Hazell said “I talked to them about that problem between halves and they went out there and shut it off completely.

Alberta coach Clarke Sloan told the Regina Leader-post that “we went bear hunting in the first half. We knew we had to play tough defence against them.” Manitoba coach Bob Hazell said “they knew we were going to be tough so they came out and took our game away from us, completely, for the first 10 minutes of the game. (But fouls caught up to them, particularly on the boards). … The fouls hurt them later.” Manitoba led 66-64 and took command for good with a free throw by Ted Stoesz with 3 minutes to play.
