The NEW Official Thread of the Augustana Vikings

Re: The NEW Official Thread of the Augustana Vikings

If live stats were correct, WSC had five players foul out and two more with 4.

Not quite as bad on the Augie side, but we did have one foul-out and three guys with 4 fouls. It was a bit of a sloppy night with fouls.

They might sneak up on some teams. Played SDSU close too.

It might just be that we aren't as good as I would like to hope, but I'll be surprised if Wayne ends the year 15th out of 16 teams. They looked like they'll throw more than a few teams off this year, especially in the early part of conference play. I know it's early, but Kaminsky is looking like he might have been a pretty good hire by the Wildcats.

Augie survives Wayne with the help of 46 free throw attempts on 37 Wayne fouls. Spencer ends with 23pts-9ast-4reb to blaze a trail to victory on banner raising night.

I didn't get to watch the game but Wayne is clearly improved and the only two meaningful changes from last year are the hiring of Kaminsky and the return of Kendall Jacks. Fylling and company mentioned numerous times that they play almost exclusively small ball which creates mismatches all over the court.

Augie needs to shore up their FT shooting and dribble drive defense before the Mavericks come to town in two weekends for the Busack Bowl. The offense clearly has firepower but finding any sort of consistency is proving exactly as difficult as replacing three future Hall of Famers should be.

Wow, no video....good thing NSIC doesn't charge like other conferences do. (I paid $22 over the weekend for the two SMSU games)

Wayne up 77-73 with 4:10 to go.

Might be a service to Augie fans if it's not.

Augie leads Wayne by 4 at the half. Male Jordan Spencer's 11pts-4ast lead 10 Vikings who have scored while Cornelius and something called a Luke TerHark have spearheaded the 'Cat attack.

Fun fact: Augie shot 8-14 from the 3 point line and the FT line in that half.

Re: The NEW Official Thread of the Augustana Vikings

Just stumbled across these comments from Coach K after the Augie/Duke game. Very complimentary of the Vikes and Augie as a program overall, as well as Jordan Spencer specifically and the graduated trio of Jansen/Schilling/Richter. (Comments about the Vikes start around the 6:15 mark or so.)

Also, he has a pretty funny reaction to the question that follows his comments about Augie.
