The NEW Official Thread of the Augustana Vikings

[MrAugustana]

Looks like Augie gets 1st shot at the severely depleted ‘24-‘25 Bearcats in St Jo. 4 starters from last year and 2 assistant coaches went with Mac to Drake and the 5th starter is playing professional ball in Europe. Could get ugly

You could jam up the Mississippi with all the sandbags in that post...

Your diatribe can be mirrored with the coaching change at Augustana.

We're BACK!

NW Mo vs Augie at noon in St Joe.

I'm expecting all the property I've accumulated on Sam Rensch Island to appreciate in value many times over this season. I won't be able to watch today but looking forward to following via live stats to see how Sam, Akoi, and all the new pieces fit together.

It's still hilarious to me that this games happens the season after Billeter AND McCollum move on.

I want everyone to put the word out.....we back up.

[AU Vikings]

Slow start today and Missouri Western is unconscious.

[AU Vikings]

Anyone know what the deal is with Hinker?

I believe it's a back injury, I'm not sure if/when he'll be able to play this season. His rebounding and rim protection prowess was definitely missed vs Mo West.

Sunday afternoon's loss to Mo West was a large reality check. The Griffons got whatever they wanted on the dribble drive and the glass combined with some above average 3 point shooting. Augie struggled to create open shots on offense and had several bad turnovers. That will happen with a newly formed team that is still sorting out how things look when they don't scrimmage each other.

The few bright spots I noticed on Sunday: Kelton Coleman made several nice plays on offense both around the hoop and on the perimeter. TeSlaa and Hastreither can knock down open shots, Ferguson had zero turnovers, and they didn't back down from a mild brewhaha after words/shoves were exchanged.

To the Black Hills they go.

I found it a little strange that Don Don Ferguson was the only player who didn't see any playing time. Maybe I'm reading into it more than I should.

I was looking at the Mavs hockey schedule and see they play Augustana in Mankato Feb 7/8. It made me go back to the basketball schedule to see if…just by chance…the basketball team would be in Mankato that weekend as well. Nope 🙁 Even worse, it appears this season the Mavs and Vikings only have 1 game, and it’s December 7th

[MrAugustana]

Good bounce back win for the Vikes. Te Slaa is going to be a really solid player. Great to see Akoi have a good game too. On to BHSU tomorrow night!

[Augieholic]

Augie's win over SD Mines yesterday looks better now that the big bad Dragons only beat the Hardrockers by 6 today.

[AU Vikings]

Great weekend for Augie. Akoi and Rensch with two really good games with Akoi hitting a huge 3 pointer to win it against Black Hills State.

[Augieholic]

Augie guts out the weekend sweep in Spearfish! Akoi nailed a trey with 2 seconds to go that was the difference. He and Rensch carried the offense with a barrage of contested jumpers. That's a gritty win to improve to 3-1 after 4 straight road games.
