Playoffs..... We talking 'bout Playoffs

Playoff hoops is finally upon us.

Starting tonight the men and women's Vikes basketball teams will embark in what they hope will be a long and prosperous journey to national greatness.

The men will start their best-of-three series tonight in Langley against their old buddy Jacob Doerkson and his upstart Trinity Western Spartans. As the playoff preview discusses, the Vikes will not only have to deal a regular season MVP candidate in Doerkson, but will also face the rowdy Spartans fans who cram the cozy confines of David E. Enarson. The gym (Pictured Right) is widely considered the loudest and toughest place to place in all of CIS basketball. The Horn will be giving live updates from the mad house all Thursday night long, so be sure to check back as the Vikes look to spoil the party.

On the other side of the Georgia Strait, the Vikes women's will get one more nights rest before they welcome in the defending CIS National Champion UBC Thunderbirds. The best-of-three PAC-D semis will get going Friday night at 7 PM. This series should also be intense from the get go as there is certainly no love loss between these long time west coast rivals. If for whatever reason you can't make it down to Shields Court, you can catch the entire game on the Vikes Streaming Network
