Logan Reider's record game has Saskatchewan Huskies women's basketball riding high into playoff season

Logan Reider's record-setting game in late November started innocuously enough.

The Saskatchewan Huskies basketball player went through a forgettable warmup — not great, not terrible.

A night before, the third-year sharpshooter had made just two of eight three-point attempts in a game against the Thompson River WolfPack.

Her struggles caught head coach Lisa Thomaidis's attention.

"When we get in the gym and she gets reps up, she's consistently shooting 70 per cent from the three-point line. And so I kind of teased her and said, 'Logan, where's that 70 per cent?' And she's like, 'Oh, I don't know, [just a] bad night,'" Thomaidis said.

"The funny thing is she comes out the next night and just starts drilling threes."

Indeed, Reider began the rematch against Thompson River 24 hours later by nailing her first three shots from beyond the arc.

And then she hit another, and another, and six more after that. Reider's 11 three-point makes tied a Canadian women's university, while her 40 points set a new Huskies mark.

"It was just one of those moments where [she] didn't have a great one and then came back like, 'I'm gonna show you, coach.' It was pretty incredible to watch," Thomaidis said. "I think for her, it's just knowing that we want her to take those shots. We want her to hunt some threes. And so that was a game where she got on a roll and she wasn't passing up any shots."
