This is the matchup we've all been waiting for. The Huskies and Dinos square off at the PAC this weekend in a matchup of two undefeated teams in conference play. The Huskies and Dinos are the number one and number two ranked teams in the nation and the respective programs will put those rankings on the line this weekend in a conference battle loaded with playoff implications. The Huskies have been downright dominant this season, with 11 victories being of the 30-plus point variety in their 14 conference games this season. Saskatchewan has won eight of their last ten against Calgary.
 
Men's Basketball:
Saturday, Jan. 24: vs. Calgary Dinos  8:00 p.m. PAC (Tickets / Watch Online / Live Stats)
Sunday, Jan. 25: vs. Calgary Dinos 7:00 p.m. PAC (Tickets / Watch Online / Live Stats)
Following a thrilling pair of games this past weekend on the road against the Manitoba Bisons, the Huskies are back on home court this weekend. After a narrow defeat on Saturday, Saskatchewan handed Manitoba their second loss of the season on Sunday afternoon, improving the Huskies record to 10-4 on the year. Another tough matchup is on deck for Saskatchewan, however, as they welcome the defending conference champion and national finalist Calgary Dinos to the PAC this weekend. The Huskies will look to spoil the Dinos chase towards a second consecutive 20-0 campaign, with their last regular-season loss coming back Jan. 25, 2018.

Men's Hockey:
Friday, Jan. 24: vs. UBC Thunderbirds 7:00 p.m. Merlis Belsher Place (Tickets / Watch Online / Live Stats)
Saturday, Jan. 25: vs. UBC Thunderbirds 7:00 p.m. Merlis Belsher Place (Tickets / Watch Online / Live Stats)
The red-hot Huskies return to Merlis Belsher Place this weekend, looking to extend their five-game winning streak. Backstopped by Taran Kozun, Saskatchewan has been one of the top teams in the nation over the past number of weeks. Kozun has been doing it all for the Huskies, with the netminder recording only the second goal in Canada West history from a goaltender this past weekend, to go along with his two shutouts to seal the series sweep against the Dinos. Saskatchewan is four-points back of the Alberta Golden Bears for first place in the standings, a gap they will look to attempt to shrink this weekend.
 
Track and Field:
Jan. 24 and 25: Knights of Columbus Games, Saskatoon Field House.
The Huskies men's and women's track and field teams return home this weekend for the Knights of Columbus Games. The road to the conference championship continues for the teams, who will compete for the final time in on their home track before playing host to the Canada West on Feb. 21 and 22 at the Field House.

Women's Hockey:
Friday, Jan. 24: vs. UBC Thunderbirds 1:30 p.m. Vancouver, B.C. (Watch Online / Live Stats)
Saturday, Jan. 25: vs. UBC Thunderbirds 9:00 p.m. Vancouver, B.C. (Watch Online / Live Stats)
The Huskies aim to build on their momentum following a four-win homestand as they make their annual trip to the west coast for a weekend series against the Thunderbirds. Saskatchewan continues its chase towards a top-two seed in the Canada West. The Huskies took care of business this past weekend with a sweep over the Calgary Dinos and now sit only two points back of the Dinos in the standings. The Thunderbirds are waiting in the wings, however, with the series over the last five years being split 3-3-0-0 in contests in Vancouver.
 
Women's Volleyball:
Friday, Jan. 24: vs. Regina Cougars 6:00 p.m. Regina, Sask. (Watch Online / Live Stats)
Saturday, Jan. 25: vs. Regina Cougars 6:00 p.m. Regina, Sask. (Watch Online / Live Stats)
Following a weekend split with the Winnipeg Wesmen, the Huskies will take on their provincial rivals in the Queen City this weekend. Saskatchewan (10-6) have the chance to solidify their playoff picture with a pair of wins against the Regina Cougars (2-14), who have lost their last five contests.

Wrestling:
Saturday, Jan. 25: at Cascade Invitational, Abbotsford, B.C.
Huskies wrestlers are back on the mat this weekend following their eastward road trip to the University of Guelph. The team will make their third consecutive road swing with the Cascades Invitational serving as the Huskies final tune-up before the Canada West Championships in Calgary come Feb. 7 and 8. Saskatchewan will hope for more success this weekend in preparation for the chase for a pair of conference banners, which the women won in 2018-19.
