BEYOND THE BOX SCORE
• The Augsburg College men's basketball team held a fundraiser for the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America (CCFA) organized by Augsburg senior guard Parker Hines (SR, Lakeville, Minn./Minnehaha Academy HS), who was diagnosed with Crohn's disease four years ago. Hines missed most of the 2011-12 season due to the disease, and had surgery to remove parts of his small intestine and colon late in 2013. The event raised more than $3,000 for the cause.

UP NEXT
• Augsburg and Carleton both return to action on Saturday (12/6) at 3 p.m. The Auggies will travel to Winona, Minn. to take on St. Mary's University, while Carleton hosts Macalester College.
