Game tomorrow and no thread on this yet. Indicative of real apathy. I guess I'll start the thread. WIU has a comparable record to ours. So do we win this one, given the home court advantage that comes with 200 cheering fans?

I am at a 50/50 shot of coming down. That really bothers me too. I love basketball more than football.Quote:

i listened to the bison basketball radio show that someone posted in a separate thread and richman said the team has to improve on the defensive end. also mentioned something about figuring out the rotation, will be relistening to the episode tonight.
Pretty much a must win with a stretch of 6 games out the next 7 on the road looming.
WIU is 1-2 in the league, they beat Denver and got demolished by SDSU and ORU.
It's a WINNABLE game---one of the 10-11 I counted this preseason for Richman!!!
Did Richman really say he needs to figure out a rotation??? 17 FRECKIN GAMES IN!!!!! GREAT COACHING
I'm not surprised by anything when it comes to LACKING in COACHING DEPARTMENT when mention RICHMAN anymore----
Bison 67 WIU 61 in an ugly game with lots of turnovers!! Perfect type game we can win because EXECUTION of an offense or GAME ADJUSTMENTS are not as MUCH needed when other team gives the ball away via the turnover
Don't know if I will even watch or check score during game
I'll be there as well. I dropped my season tickets this year, but a buddy and I are going to this one. It'll be good to see the SHAC again. I know a lot of people dis on it, but I think it's a pretty good arena. Oh for the days when it would be full.Quote:

WIU guard Kobe Webster was at Hector last night just before midnight.....all alone holding a large duffle bag. Overheard him on the phone telling someone that the airline finally found his bag and that he needed someone to come back from the hotel to pick him up. Felt bad for the guy.
And you couldn’t drive him to grand forks for free? Shame on youQuote:

Hope someone is ready to draw some fouls in the paint.
Leatherneck 7 footer Brandon Gilbeck averages 4 blocks, was last season’s Summit League Defensive POY.
Would be nice to get him out if the game. If nothing else, Rocky & Deng need to hit from 3 land to draw him away from the rim. Gilbeck also averages 9 ppg, 8 rpg.
Just heard on the radio that Western is 7-50 in their last 57 road games and havent won a toad game in 2 years!! We better win this one tonight.
I'm a glutton for punishment and will be watching. Go Bison!!!!
shahid, samuelson, ward, griesel, and kreuser starting
deng subs in for kreuser
I think 2 bigs on the floor together would destroy WIU. Kreuser hitting those early 3's pulls their shotblocker out and Deng would have a field day inside.
Shame that Gilbeck just wastes his career in the abyss that is WIU.
no horn or cook in the first half. maybe this is richman “figuring out” the rotation?
When is Cam Hunter scheduled to return?
Nice to see Sam getting healthier. He has great length that can defend multiple positions. On offense he is patient and attacks when the gap is there. Also prolly the best passer on the team.

Bison putting it in on WIU now, would love to see the team do this at Denver. Sam is coming back into form nicely.
5.3 million raised by Team Makers just announced at the game.
Sounds like next week hopefully.Quote:

How good is WIU??
WIU might not be participating in the Summit tournament but still nice to see the team dominate the way they should.Quote:

IPFW 94

Denver 66
SDSU 78....Denver continues to struggle, NDSU heads out there next.
Omaha 92
F'n Hawks 91....UND loses at the buzzer. Sad!
If we dont keep our heads out of our butts, players and coaches, we could lose twice to the hawks and then how will we feel?Quote:

We have split with UND the last 2 years?Quote:

So I try pretty consistently to not be unrealistic and annoying about Augie, but watching 20+ minutes of this game tonight and reading stats like this, I find it hard to believe Augie can't be at least competitive in the Summit League to the degree that WIU is "competitive."Quote:

Also, I'm not trying to hijack this thread and turn this into any sort of Augie D1 discussion, I was just watching the game tonight and this was the thought that popped into my head after 5-10 minutes. Seeing the stat quoted above just motivated me to log in and comment about it.
Or maybe its about getting other players back that were out with injuries??Quote:

Dont you feel bad that they dont even have a TV station in town there anymore?
Since patsweeney hit the social security circuit finally the rivalry in the press is finished, thank god.
He had a can of gas wherever he went, today that could be called terrorism
I, for one, have never thought Augustana couldn't compete in Summit basketball. I think this year's Augie team would beat this year's NDSU team 5 times out of 10. Of course, that's not saying much for how you'd fare against better conference foes. But in any case, I don't think you'd be in the Summit basement.Quote:

Enjoyable game to watch and maybe some confidence for next week on the road.
I'll take any positive I can get with this team and last night was a positive step. That said WIU is now 7-51 in road games since the start of 2015/16 (I believe that's the stat I heard on the pregame show last night) so they'll need to build on this in order to beat better teams on the road.
So what you are saying then is that Augie would at least split with every Summit team? I don't agree with your comment.Quote:

It'll be nice to give Vinny a bit more of a breather than he's had, help keep him fresh for the whole season.
It is amazing what can happen when you can get to the rim and finish. You can not play the game of basketball outside the 3 point line for 90% of the time you have the ball. Can we continue to do that against better teams???????????? Time will tell but I am not optimistic, PLEASE Bison prove me wrong!!!!!
