Also, file this with Ripley’s Believe it or Not…

Margenthaler and Kaminsky are unhappy with the officiating. Yeah, it’s true.

UIU sweeps the weekend. Handles Sioux Falls Friday in fairly easy fashion. Tonight was a defensive and physical battle with SMSU. UIU lead most of game. SMSU ties it late, but UIU goes on a run after that to ice the game. Tough game by both teams.

Looks like numerous Augie legends are in the crowd at St Paul tonight: Jameson Bryan, Tyler Riemersma, and simple

Nice to know, Simple has our back.

The year was 2012 was the last time Concordia beat Augustana in Basketball. Once again Tom says he likes the team and the direction they are heading.

I know coaching is a fraternity of sorts, but I was pretty surprised how complimentary Bigler was of Eisner's coaching. Called him perhaps the best defensive coach in the league.

Biglar is a standup guy and will speak well of the opposition in victory or defeat. Eisner’s teams do play solid defense which is functions of technique and hard effort. Big fan of defense but sometimes you desperately need that because you don’t have the other. The fact that they hold their own rebounding despite lack of size is is an indicator that have these things. But his teams are just too small and dependent on long range shooting. Despite talk that they have shooters the results belie it. Seems Connor Dillon can knock them down but as a whole not that good. They need a lineup that offers some versatile talent. I don’t see it. Too damn many short guards and not enough other.

Let me see if I have this straight. Augie, which had the second-worst field goal percentage in the league, actually lowered that percentage with their performance last night and found a way to beat the No. 9 team in the country on their home court. And one player, Graves, had more than half their points. Crazy.

Don't get me wrong. It was a great, unexpected win. And as a Augieholic said, it was good to see the Graves that was advertised. I'm glad Vegas doesn't post odds for D2 games, because I'd be homeless today. Would have bet the house on Mankato.

That would mean we both would be homeless today.

Augie is young and inconsistent but when they lock in they are as good defensively as anyone they've played. It feels extremely odd for that to be the best characteristic of a team with so little experience but here we are.

Winona is worse than I thought a week ago. If this is the best Eisner can put on the floor he needs to go. He has a great record at lower college levels but obviously it does not translate to D2. He’s had enough time to show weight and has failed. Move on.

Graves had not shot a free throw all season until tonight and made all 4

He used the dribble drive to get into the paint more times tonight than he had all season. It was phenomenal to see

Augie wins 63-57 in Kato. Jadan Graves was ABSURD, 35 of Augie's 63. I cant believe what I just saw.
