With the holidays in full swing, both men's and women's basketball join women's wrestling as the lone teams competing over finals week. Following men's wrestling competing at the Clackamas Open last weekend, the women's squad now travels to Ontario, Oregon, to compete in their third tournament of the season at Treasure Valley. Men's and women's hoops got their first taste of Northwest Conference under their belt in the past two weeks, now resuming the end of Northwest Conference play, each hosting on game on Friday evening inside Ted Wilson Gymnasium.

Linfield men's basketball (1-6, 0-1 NWC) aims to rebound following last week's Northwest Conference opener at Pacific.
