The Augusta State University Jaguars men's basketball team is off to the NCAA Division II national championship.
That's after a win over the University of South Carolina-Aiken on Tuesday.
The Jags, now one of the conference's "Elite Eight," will take on Christian Brothers University of Memphis in the tourney's first game on March 25 in Springfield, Massachusetts.
This is the Jags' second NCAA national tourney.
The team nearly won the championship last year. The Jags had led Winona State University for much of the tournament's last game in 2008, but came in second when they were defeated in the final minutes of nail-biting play.
With the win on Tuesday, the Jags also captured the division's Southeast Regional title.
