It's a four-peat! The Augustana Vikings came from behind to win 79-77 over Elmhurst at home last night. The victory earned them a share of their fourth consecutive CCIW championship — just the fourth time this has happened in league history.

Help keep the momentum going!

Cheer them on Friday as Augustana opens the CCIW Men's Basketball Tournament at Carver Center against Wheaton at 7 p.m. Doors open at 3:30 p.m. and the first game of the night, North Central vs. Illinois Wesleyan, starts at 5 p.m.

The two winners on Friday will play at 7 p.m. Saturday for a trip to the NCAA D3 Men's Basketball Tournament. If the Vikings prevail, it would be their fifth consecutive tournament appearance.

Go Vikings!

P.S. Tickets at the door are $6 for adults, $3 for seniors (60+) and students. Free for children 3 and under and Augustana students with ID.
