Augie already won next years season and tourney title

Thank you for speaking it into existence.

Re: Northern State Wolves 2019-2020

Depending on who that is next year. I thought Augie already won next years season and tourney title?

Augie will be very good, in my opinion. Moorhead has a problem with post I have been describing with Jesse bergh. One of biggest players in conference. Tons of potential. Can have problem getting out to guard ball screens on perimeter, etc. Closer to the basket...rebounding and blocking shots he can be difference maker. Needs to improve his defense.

Pretty sure northern will have plenty of wins next year. They have a lot of talent coming back. If nsu pg plays well they will play with anyone.

Re: Northern State Wolves 2019-2020

He was third in line so not struggling with a different style at all. It will be the same Northern basketball as it has been just potentially not as many wins this coming year.

Re: Northern State Wolves 2019-2020

No debate that northern has had some of best D2 big guys in the country in recent past. My point is that nsu may be forced at some point to play more like many other successful teams who win without great posts. Of course, any team would prefer to have great posts rather than not. I think you have been spoiled at northern in recent past with such good posts and may be struggling with the thought of potentially playing a different style of game in the future??

Re: Northern State Wolves 2019-2020

Then you should look at who our posts were...they were not 7 foot slow guys. Balcome showed that in HS, maybe it would have translated to college and maybe it wouldn't. Like I said he was also a guy that could knock down a three at 6'10". Depth is nice at any position. We saw it when Doyle and Evans got in foul trouble and we had to play Decker two years in the 17-18 season. He wasnt very good that year and still was better than having no one to step in to that spot. Thankfully Decker had a nice year and Fox was able to develop nicely at a new position this past season.

Re: Northern State Wolves 2019-2020

Right...when we took Arizona State to OT and the same year went to the title game, had nothing to do with our two stellar post players. Makes sense now.

I never said it was easy but our best success has been to have that as part of our game plan, it has worked and will keep working. What better feature than to have something others don't. I'm not the only member of a fan base looking for a post presence on their team, why dont you go rail on them for awhile.

I'll sleep just fine and I don't live in Abedeen, much to my dismay
