The NEW Official Thread of the Augustana Vikings

[Augieholic]

The Mo West coach spends more time on the court than most of his players.

[Augieholic]

Augie starting Fink, Graves, Akoi, Brady Helgren, and Bennett Otto vs MO West. I think this team should be able to score with anybody on the perimeter but there are concerns down low and defensively. I cant wait to see Dallas Bear and Brayson Laube make their debuts.

Well will be here soon. Vikings men picked 5th seems appropriate. Team is very young 2 grad students, 1 senior, 1 junior, 3 soph. and 6 fr. Viking men's webpage has been updated with all photos. Looking forward to Augieholic and MrAugustana take on upcoming season.

Augie released both basketball schedules today.

The men's non-conference schedule is similar to the last few seasons: two games in KC (MoWest and SEOK this year) and the BHSU/SDSMT double dip out in Rapid. This new NSIC schedule makes as much sense as a cylinder call from Doug Votava.

Augie plays USF ONCE!! Augie plays Wayne and SMSU ONCE!! This is preposterous. Yeah it's nice to get a true home and home with Northern but why is Mary the "travel" partner of the Wolves? Is the NSIC trying to ghost Minot into leaving? Why are their regular season games on every night of the week except Monday?

I had this same dialogue with myself earlier in the offseason, but it's actually not. They change them depending on how close (or far) you are. Augie (and SMSU/USF, for reference) play Northern and UMary the same weekend, but Winona (and Mankato) face UMary and Minot the following weekend. Similarly, the travel pairings are different for Augie to Duluth (with CSP) than they are for Northern to Duluth (with St Cloud)

Utterly ridiculous. Vikings only playing it's three natural rivals only once, not to mention three closest foes. What was conference schedule makers thinking.

Very true. Howevah, UIU announced they were leaving the NSIC last November. The NSIC had 9ish months to come up with a 15 team basketball schedule and where it ended makes it look like they forgot about it until a few weeks ago. It's not just Augie: Northern vs Moorhead, Mankato vs Winona, and Bemidji vs Duluth only happen once.

Agree. The sh!t’s wonky AF. I like the not-always-Friday/Saturday-games. But it does look like they kinda forgot about basketball after scrambling to complete football schedules.

Awesome! Always fun to see a kid coming from outside our standard recruiting footprint. Would be curious to learn how the coaching staff came across Justin. Either way, excited to see him in Viking blue next season. Welcome to Augie, Justin!

Here are a couple of highlight videos from Twitter of recent AAU tourneys, for those interested:
