The 1930 Acadia Basketball team was to play the New Westminster Adanacs in the Dominion finals, making it the first team from this province to have had a representative in a national final. After an exciting display of basketball from both sides, the Acadia team went down to defeat in a two game total point series 60-40. To advance the Acadia squad had to beat Dalhousie for the provincial title, the Saint John Trojans for the Maritime title and the Windsor (Ontario) Alumni for the Eastern Canadian crown. The team was followed by a record number of loyal fans, at a time when there were only 260 male students enrolled at Acadia.

Team members were: Louie Davidson (captain), S.B. (Bancroft) Davis, Vern Eville, Bobby Fraser, Fred Galbraith, Charles (Bud) Harlow (manager), Bill Matthews, Duncan (Dunc) McKenzie, Terry Osborne (coach), Carl (Trax) Trask (assistant manager).
