The NEW Official Thread of the Augustana Vikings

[MrAugustana]

Vikings really struggling. Down 55-44 with 15:39 to go.

I'm bad at regular updates on scores and crap. But 17-14 Augie with 11:18 to go.

No worries, just meant more if you make a post can you share a score. Congratulations, following Augie score via message board is better than suffering through yet another Hallmark movie. We've discovered a way for you to get me to care about your program;)

BHSU up 37-32 on Augie at the half. Yellow Jackets are much improved compared to last year, their freshmen big Joel Scott leads the way with 14 points. Augie missed several good looks offensively and surrendered far too many easy baskets defensively.

Tom Billeter flummoxing the Yellow Jackets with some exotic zone defense. 17-14 Augie at the under 12 TO

Going to depend on the boards for updates...I click live stats and I get not this game

Trevor Hanson making his first appearance of the season.

And he immediately bounces in a three. I'll take it.

So far...it has not.

Now they're back in business.

Interestingly this BHSU team beat a top 25 Tarleton State team last Sunday. They could be pretty solid.

First words spoken by the announcer over the BHSU feed is "I hope it works"

Congrats to Matt Cartwright on his first NSIC South Player of the Week award: https://goaugie.com/news/2019/11/12/...-the-week.aspx

Hoping there will be at least a few more of these over the next two years. When he gets going, he can definitely be tough to stop.

Augie had a house warming party at the Pentagon while thoroughly dismantling the Cobbers from Moorhead. The first half was another clinic by Texas Tom's gang with contributions across the board. It was highlighted by this lightning bolt from Adam Dykman:

The second half sloughed along, thankfully the games start counting a week from tomorrow. Good to see Dylan LeBrun back on the court in time to play in Warrensburg.

As noted in the 2019 Recruiting thread (due to the lack of a 2020 Recruiting thread, which I will probably remedy shortly), Augie picked up a commitment from Sioux Falls O'Gorman 2020 forward Akoi Akoi.

I don't know a ton about Akoi as I don't generally follow HS basketball all that closely, but he seems to be a long and athletic player who could make for a solid forward for us. Here are some tweets/highlights/etc.
