Fighting Illini Men’s Basketball Scouting Report: Augustana College Vikings

Augstana College is a small Division III school in Rock Island, Illinois. The Vikings compete in the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin, which includes schools like North Central College, Illinois Wesleyan University and Elmhurst College.

What did they do last year?

In their conference and division, the Vikings had an excellent season in 2016. They finished the year with a 24-9 record, going 11-5 in the CCIW. Augustana had an incredible postseason as well, moving through the Division III tournament all the way to the title game.

Although Augustana lost 79-78 to Babson College (it’s in Massachusetts — don’t worry, I had to look it up), I think Vikings fans would agree that the season was a great success.
