	Description:		After an 8-0 start to the season, the third-ranked UW-La Crosse men’s basketball team finally suffered a loss. The Eagles shot just 24% from deep and 56% from the line in losing to Augustana 82-75 at the Wisconsin Dells tournament. Sam Grieger scored 25 points on 10-of-21 shooting and teammate JJ Paider went 5-for-6 from the field — but 2 of 8 from the line — in scoring 12, but no others had double figures. The five other UW-L (8-1) players combined to shoot 13-for-34 from the field. The Vikings (6-4), who beat No. 8 Calvin the day before, hit 40% of its 3-pointers and 72% of its free throws in the win. Nex up for the Eagles is the St. Norbert tournament Dec. 29-30.
