Augustana Will Host First Round Div.-III Games

Augustana College

Augustana College will host some first round games in the Division III post season men's basketball tournament.

On Friday at 5:30, teams from Hope and Augsburg colleges will play in the first game, followed by Augustana versus Greenville at 7 pm. The winners play again on Saturday, with the winner of that game advancing to sectional play. 

Located in Greenville, Illinois, Greenville is this year's champion of the St. Louis Inter-collegiate Athletic Conference regular season and tournament. The Panthers lead the nation at all levels of the N-C-double-A in scoring, with 126 points per game, three-point field goals (18.9 per game), and have won seven straight games.
