Setting up to be a big game on Saturday night between Moorhead and Augie. Based on wins/losses this weekend, Augie will most likely move up to #4 and Moorhead will move up to #6, maybe even #5. Probably one of the highest-profile matchups the NSIC has seen since the Winona State national championship teams took on those highly-ranked Northern State teams.
On the plus side for Moorhead, as I mentioned in a previous post, Augie will have to face a pretty feisty Northern State team (currently 3rd in the conference) on Friday night while Moorhead will be taking on a 5-17 Wayne State team (last in the conference) and should roll them by 20-30, easy. If the Vikes manage to take down Northern State, it will be a big time matchup on Saturday night in Sioux Falls. Well, it'll be a big time matchup either way, but even bigger if both teams still only have one loss on the year. Should be a fun weekend of basketball down in Sioux Falls.

Man, NDSU really missed on Aaron Lien

Do not forget about a different level with the team NDSU plays vs MSU teams they play.
