Money.

When the Dinos men's basketball team faces a top-5 opponent and needs a game winning basket, there's only one man to turn to: fourth-year forward Robbie Sihota, a graduate of Lester B. Pearson High School.

He did it at a Christmas tournament in Winnipeg, sinking the winning hoop as the Dinos defeated Ottawa by just a single point, but this one was even bigger. After having as much as a 21-point lead, the Dinos were up by just one as the seconds ticked down at War Memorial Gym Saturday night, and the UBC Thunderbirds were one hoop away from their third straight Canada West title. Somehow, however, a Henry Bekkering pass made its way to Andy Rochon, and he found Sihota at the top of the key. A clutch trey - his only one of the night - put the Dinos up by four with just eight seconds to go, sealing the conference title.

Money.

But that wasn't his whole weekend. He finished with 15 points in the championship game, but he also put up 28 in the semi-final against Trinity Western, a dominant win by the Dinos that guaranteed them a spot at the Final 8 March 12-14 at Scotiabank Place in Ottawa.
