The College Try

Though the Vikings aren’t off to what you’d call an earth-shattering start, the CSU men’s basketball squad is treading water at .500 against some tough opponents. This afternoon at 2 p.m. at the Wolstein Center, they’ll take on rivals from Eastern Illinois in what could be your easing out of work and into Christmas vacation. If you’ve got a nice boss, you may get out early anyway, so go cheer on your green and white hometown squad in this winnable game. Tickets are only $10. (Allard)
