Spencer had three early assists as Augustana led by as many as nine points in the first with the former GB U20 then recording his 241st assist of the season to set a new single-season record for the school.

The Vikings were up five at 43-38 going into half-time, and maintained their advantage in the second half with Spencer doubling the lead with a big 3-pointer to make it 74-64 with eight minutes remaining.

Box score.

Augustana finish the season with an impressive 34-2 record as they inflicted just the third loss of the season on No.1 seeds Lincoln Memorial.

Spencer averaged 9.1 points, 3.9 rebounds and 6.8 assists in 36 games in the 2015-16 campaign prior to Saturday’s Final.

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.
