With seven titles in nine years to their credit and an undefeated season in progress, the Carleton Ravens are the class of the field at the 2012 Canadian Interuniversity Sport men's basketball championship.

Carleton is looking to make history by tying the University of Victoria as the most decorated Canadian men's basketball program. The Vikes racked up eight W.P. McGee trophies - highlighted by seven in a row from 1980-86 - but the Ravens can match that number with three wins this weekend at the Halifax Metro Centre.

The seven other teams would like nothing more than to spoil Carleton's party and each will bring a different challenge for the favourites.
