Ten months after Canada’s national men’s basketball team last took to the court in FIBA AmeriCup qualifying action, they’re set to do it all over again next week.

This time, however, it will feature a foray into Saskatchewan for the first time with SaskTel Centre in Saskatoon set to host a pair of games for Team Canada.
