Thanks to Tuesday night's come-from-behind victory, the Augustana College men's basketball team has won a share of its fourth consecutive CCIW championship.

The Vikings will host the CCIW Men's Basketball Tournament at the Carver Center this weekend. On Friday at 5 pm, North Central plays Illinois Wesleyan, with Augustana taking on Wheaton at 7. 

The two winners on Friday will play at 7 pm Saturday for a trip to the NCAA Division-3  Men's Basketball Tournament. If the Vikings win, it will be their fifth consecutive tournament appearance.
