The defending national champion Vincennes University Trailblazers were beaten in the District Tournament final Friday night at Rend Lake College. The second seeded #9 Blazers were knocked off by #1 seed John A Logan 78-67. The game was even at 36 at the half before the Volunteers began to slowly pull away. Kevin Osawe led VU with 20 points and Craig Porter added 16. The Trailblazers fall to 28-5 with the loss. Despite losing, there is still the possibility that VU will recieve an at-large bid to the NJCAA finals starting March 16th in Hutchinson Kansas. Eight at-large bids will be announced Monday afternoon. In 2019, VU recieved an at-large bid and went on to win the championship.
