The NEW Official Thread of the Augustana Vikings

[Augieholic]

Based on the way Vishe went down and later limping around the Pentagon last night this is extremely surprising, and exciting, news.

Riemersma was a force in the boards, and Schaefer had a great game as well. Really, all the Augie frontcourt players looked great. The limited minutes for Cartwright though were odd. Good win for you guys.

Foul trouble and poor rebounding doomed Wayne. Still think the Wildcats will be a tough team by February but there will be growing pains as this is a thin and young roster.

Cartwright is coming back from an injury he suffered out in the East/West Challenge in the Black Hills. I would imagine he was just getting his legs under him more than coming in to play impact minutes. That being said, I'm glad we were able to pull off the win with him only playing limited minutes, as he is a key part (at times the only part, concerningly) of our offense.

Augie guts it out 75-66. 17-11 for Schaefer despite missing 5 FTs and 20-16 for Riemersma despite missing three FTs. Cartwright was 2-8 from the field while Todd was 4-19 with some extremely questionable shot selections. Offense is not Wayne's world but Augie showed some defensive mettle down the stretch.

Augie nudges ahead 63-59 at the under 5 TO. Ugly shooting game by both teams. Michael Schaefer picked up another flop warning and we got a cylinder call from Votava. Basically referee bingo blackout.

Wayne runs some of the best half court offense in the league. Elevator doors, back screens, curl screens into pick and pops. Kaminsky is a bad mamma mamma. Wayne by 3 on Augie with 940 to go.

Question for NorthernSunExperience if you/they are around the boards any more: would it be possible to figure out how we can get the audio synced up for the Augie home games? During the past couple of games, the announcer has been a legitimate 5-7 seconds behind the action of the game, and it makes the games really tough to watch. Just figured I'd check and see if there was anything that could be done for future broadcasts.

That's embarrassing...

Less embarrassing...more just annoying.

As if tonight's loss wasn't disappointing enough, Northern comes away from this weekend 2-0. Insult to injury.

Mines wins 76-71, they shot the ball well all night.

Terrible loss for Augie. They're much worse defensively than I thought and tonight the offense totally fell apart with countless open looks being missed from 3 and around the rim. They've got two NAIA opponents to go before NSIC play.

Augie finally takes a 1 point lead with under a minute to go and promptly gives up a 4 point play despite the shot being made by one of the guys being shadowed in a triangle and two. Augie down 3 with 30 seconds left

[MrAugustana]

Ugh. I would love for the Vikings to be not losing this game.

[Augieholic]

Augie has missed an obscene amount of good looks. They're down 4 at the under 4 TO

[Augieholic]

Augie briefly takes a lead but Mines makes back to back 3s to take a 5 point lead at the under 8 TO
