CLOSE FRIDAY, JAN. 14th/83 Page 12 THE UBYSSEY Friday, January 7, 1983 Basketball 'Birds future open question SUPERSALE By MONTE STEWART Christmas has come and gone and another year is upon us but the men's basketball team continues to perform like a bunch of turkeys. It remains to be seen whether the 5 Days Only Thunderbirds are a good team, a fair team, or a mediocre team. The 'Birds opened the 1982-83 season with a successful fall tour of Southeast Asia where they posted an impressive 5-1-1 record. They returned home and maintained a January 10th to 14th winning record in exhibition games against Canada West Conference and local opponents. However, it seemed that, no matter what, UBC could not win the big games — LADIES { DRESSY tournament games, that is.

Scrubb, a $17 sophomore, had been the 'Birds main offensive threat in most of the games.

In Calgary, the Birds started the tourney the way they had begun the Main Concourse, SUB season. They won. UBC defeated Concocted with fine Canadian Whisky. Ottawa's Carleton University 85-78. Jamie Boyle and Steve Glover led the 'Birds with 24 points apiece. At this point, the future was looking brighter for the 'Birds. However, they lost their next two contests, 93-89 to the University of Alberta, and 66-60 to Athletes in Action. UBC began the new calendar year the way they had ended the old one. They lost. Brandon University Bob Basic human writes cats defeated UBC 83-66 Sunday.

Tuesday, UBC lost again as the University of <-4 Alberta Golden Bears handed them a 66-41 loss. Steve Pawlett was UBC's leading scorer with just 12 points. So now, the question remains: Are the 'Birds any good? To make the answer to this ques tion even more uncertain is the fact that the regular season has not started yet.
