The East E-Rabs (11-4 in the NIC-10) and Auburn Knights (10-5 in the NIC-10) boys basketball teams will battle it out on Saturday, February 23 at 2:00 p.m. at Rock Valley College's Physical Education Center on RVC's main campus (3301 North Mulford Road).

The game was originally scheduled to be played Saturday night at East High School, but was moved to RVC to accommodate more fans. On January 17, Lutheran and Winnebago played at Rock Valley College in front of a crowd of over 2,300.

It will be a full day of basketball at Rock Valley College, starting at noon with the Golden Eagles women taking on Milwaukee Area Technical College in the final game of the regular season. The RVC women are defending national champions and are currently ranked #1 in the nation for NJCAA (National Junior College Athletic Association) Division III with a record of 26-2.

That will be followed by East versus Auburn at 2:00 p.m. and the afternoon will conclude with the RVC men taking on Milwaukee Area Technical College at 4:00 p.m. The RVC men are 15-12 overall this season and lost a 104-99 overtime thriller when they faced Milwaukee on January 30.

Admission for Saturday will be $4 for adults and $3 for children and will be good for all three games.

For more information, contact the RVC Athletics office at 815-921-3807.
