Men's basketball: Vikings ready to battle Central on ROOT SPORTS

After ending the annual brutal two-game road swing to the University of Alaska Fairbanks and Alaska Anchorage University Saturday, Jan. 14, with two wins, Western Washington University men's basketball became just the second school in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference to ever accomplish sweeps in back to back seasons.
While it's apparent the Vikings brought the frigid Alaskan weather back to Whatcom County, Western is also banking that its strong play up north will accompany WWU back to Carver Gym.
