The Vikings improve to an impressive 33-2 on the season, and advance to face the No.1 seeds Lincoln Memorial (34-2) in Saturday’s title decider.

Spencer handed out six of his eight assists in the first half as Augustana opened up a commanding 34-19 advantage, before going on to lead by as many as 28 points during the second.

The Championship game on Saturday takes place at the Dr. Pepper Arena in Frisco, Texas at 3pm (ET), which will be 7pm in the UK.

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
