Wow. I thought WSU was going to take it with that lead. Losing big leads seems to be common in the NSIC this season.

[MStateMaverick]

Amazing ending to the WSU-UMD game; quite an offensive run by the Bulldogs to get the victory.

[RollStangs]

RollStangs avoids the crow....can only imagine what the live bet would have been with UMD down 15 with five minutes to go...crazy stuff

Duluth saves me big time, wow!! Quite a crazy game and wild comeback!! I knew it was a win for them the entire game ;)

Who woulda thunk Mankato would be the last South team standing

Was able to get a clip to share of this call. Just a reminder this was allegedly called on Riemersma, reviewed, and confirmed as Riemersma's 5th foul.

If you watch the next few seconds after the clip cuts off, the ref tells King the foul is on him, King puts his hands to his mouth in dismay, and then they head to the review.

Just one call in a game where Augie missed plenty of shots and had other bad plays, but it was a pretty important momentum changer. Could've cut it to 2 with 3 minutes left and instead it gets reversed, our first-team all-conference player is fouled out, and King makes two free throws to put them up 6. Really a bummer. But it is what it is. Need to have a good offseason and be ready to compete next year like we should've been ready to compete this year.

Unlikely. Noon game on my biggest day means I likely won't have any idea of any happenings of the game.

But our Dragon pal can certain puff all he'd like

Puff, puff...

Anybody really believe that nsu4life will be waiting until the 10 pm sports broadcast Monday night to find out if the wolves found a way to win earlier at noon? I have a feeling he will find a way to catch the game. Never met (online) a bigger homer who pretends that he’s too busy/disinterested...in order to what hedge his emotional bet on his favorite team?

Dragons played one of their best games of the season against UIU. In all fairness, I think Msum matches up very well with UIU and some of UIU’s youth was on display. Watch out for UIU in the next few years.

Beeninga was terrific blowing by UIU guards all game. Baumgartner continues to make clutch plays like most of the year. His hammer dunk early in game sent a message that Moorhead came to play. Moorhead big men all contributed solid and significant minutes and controlled the paint from start to finish. Solid team effort.

With th respect to semifinals against NSU...couldn’t think of a better scenario for the young dragons. On the road (on nsu’s second home court) against the top seed in conference with 2,500 nsu fans in attendance versus 200 dragon fans. Tough matchup for sure...Nobody gives MSUM a chance. Not sure I mind such a scenario. Dragons, just like the entire season, keep on flying under the radar. Should be fun.

Unless they win it all it'll be the first Regional since the creation of the NSIC South without a team from the NSIC South.

Unless they win it all it'll be the first Regional since the creation of the NSIC South without a team from the NSIC South.

Also the first without any of the longtime NCC schools. (UMD incidentally hasn't made it since before joining the NCC in 2004.)

Homer? Pretends to be disinterested? Life is busy so no, I can't watch every game. You can call me homer but I didn't make a case for Saul as COY or Parker as player of the year nor didni pick the Wolves to win the season either of the last two years...but sure, keep adding to the fire.

You don't have to believe me, and not that anyone(except you) cares about my work life, but this Monday is usually 13 hours without even getting a lunch, plus I drive so....will I be checking as I can, of course. But following along will be next to impossible. Life as an adult is rough, but don't let that get you down for when your day comes.

13 hours without a lunch...not sure that’s even legal. You may want to talk to an employment attorney. Economy is pretty good...maybe some other opportunities out there that let you eat lunch? If not, stay safe...don’t want this to be our last opportunity to go at it. Good luck Monday to both you and your wolves.

One day every two week, its fine

It takes a special sort of following to support Parker Fox. No offense.

I agree this was a bad call and not sure what happened with the video replay. However, Lebrun, Schaefer and dykman going 1 for 13 from three point land was the bigger problem. Heck of a good game...one that augie had every opportunity to win, but came a bit short. If Cartwright can come back healthy, augie will be very good next year.
