The 2026 NSIC Men's and Women's Basketball Tournaments are officially underway as of Wednesday night.

It was a big weekend for both the Sioux Falls Cougars and the Augustana Vikings. Sioux Falls was in search of its first win in four weeks after three straight losses, while Augie looked to remain undefeated with a home contest.

The Augustana Vikings dominated in Bemidji over the weekend, but it wasn't enough to move the program up in the latest AFCA Top 25 on Monday.

We're still waiting for the first loss between Augustana and USF this season, as both programs won in contrasting styles Saturday to move to 3-0.

Anticipation fills the air as fans prepare for the college football season - schedules are out, and excitement is building across the state.

Things are looking up for the Sioux Falls Cougar football program following an inspiring 8-3 finish to last season that ended with the team falling just short of a playoff appearance.

The Augustana Men and USF Cougar Men and Women are gearing up for first-round games in the NSIC Tournament on Wednesday.

The USF Cougars roared back in 2024 to the tune of a 8-3 finish and narrowly missed out on postseason play.

The Augustana Vikings scored a historic win over the weekend as a program and continue their rise in the latest DII college football rankings.

Despite both programs scoring big wins over Minnesota-based NSIC squads over the weekend, neither USF nor Augustana was included in the DII Top 25 this week.
