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.

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.

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.

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.

Two very comfortable (as expected) wins on the weekend after the stinker last week in Minot. I did not go last night but was able to see the Wolves shoot the lights out of Wachs tonight. I still think Saul’s teams are too reliant on the three, but if Northern can shoot like they did tonight they can beat almost anybody. Part of that was the Bemidji D, but the Wolves still made 17 3PTs.
Nhial started both games this weekend and I hope that continues. I’ve been hoping to see more of him and apparently he has shown Saul enough on the defensive end to earn more plying time. He’s still pretty raw at times and still has work to do to become a better defender, but he seems to be pretty athletic and he can make shots. He also works hard when he’s on the floor.
