The NEW Official Thread of the Augustana Vikings

[Augieholic]

Speaking of other NSIC names from the recent past…

Parker Fox said this morning he really wanted to go to Augustana, that was his first choice. But they never offered.

Never heard of them

Mike Busack going from Mankato to Augie.

Mike Busack enjoyed his 1 year at Augustana so much he still shows Augie on his twitter page header. He had 3 years at Mankato.

Mike Busack going from Mankato to Augie.

Good one.

Does Augie have the depth? After their top 4 it gets a little dicey for me. Hinker misses essentially 3 games and they immediately go 0-3.

Augie was 8-43 from 3 in the two NSIC games Hink missed, the space wasn't spacing and the math wasn't mathing.

What's the NSIC equivalent of the Giannis to the Timberwolves rumors?

Stanger86 with the best sand bagging we will see until May when men's league golf starts again. Bigler is the best coach in the conference outside of Margs, he will have them ready and I just saw all this defensive player of year stuff for you guys. You got the horses, lets not act like the conference doesn't run through you.

Did you see what happened this weekend?

Same could be said for all conference teams. Like the Mustangs couldn't replace Braaten, the Vikings would be really hurting without Tameron Ferguson.

Similar to what we just saw this weekend for the Mustangs with a sick Braaten.

At this point, I think I have Augie as the team to beat entering February. I put the Mustangs second and the Huskies third.

Cody's crew found two different ways to win this weekend and stretched their run to six straight Ws.

Friday night the Vikings couldn't get any consistent looks vs the Beavers 3/4 trap and defensively they could not keep Shannon or Josephson out of the paint. But over the final 335 they got two pick 6s by Sam Rensch, a three and some FTs from Hinker, a three point play from Tam, and two FTs from Tanner to slide past Boschee's Beavers. Theres no groundbreaking analysis to justify how you win a game where you attempt nine fewer FGs and get out rebounded by 16 but life finds a way.

Saturday started with visual confirmation of the NSIC's amazing coaching chia pet and ended with him getting a tech arguing with the refs who earlier that half had called 8 fouls on Augustana and only 1 on the Bulldogs. Augustana's offensive execution, especially in the 2nd half, was ruthless against the Bulldogs. Games like yesterday are the reason I ramble so much about Tanner TeSlaa's 3 point shooting, when the dam opens up this offense is multi dimensional instead of seeing how many difficult shots Tam can make or create in 40 minutes.

Neither team score for over 5 minutes before that buzzer beater, truly sicko stuff
