The committee that puts together the seeding for the U Sports men’s national basketball championship tournament is indicating that it believes the University of Victoria Vikes could become only the fo
urth team in two decades not named the Carleton Ravens to win the championship.
The last time UVic was the top seed for nationals was in 2006, when the Vikes lost to Carleton 73-67 in the championship game.

The only other teams to have won a national title in Carleton’s two-decade era of dominance have been the Brock Badgers in 2008, Saskatchewan Huskies in 2010 and Calgary Dinos in 2018.
The semifinals are Saturday at 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. PT and the championship game is Sunday at 2 p.m. PT. All games will be webcast live on CBC Sports.
