The men and women of Augustana Men and the USF Cougar are preparing for the first round games in the NSIC tournament on Wednesday.
They will travel for AGI to take the Minnesota-Dulut on the road respectively in the game of 11-6 seeds on Wednesday night. The Dulut advice is at 18:00.
Here’s a little match visualization:

Augustana and Minnesota Dulut will be compared for the 38th time of all time, with the bulldogs leading 19-18. AU dropped five straight into the series, including a pair of losses this season. The history of the two games this year came to the charity strip. UMD has shot 52 free throws in two games, while the Vikings fired only 25. Only two other NSIC teams have reached the line more than UMD this season.
The winner of the game moves to the Pentagon to take Murhead on Sunday night, 7:00 time for advice.
The USF Cougar women have a home match while men go on the road to take the Minot State.
Cougar women are the 5-seine and play the host of the 12th Craxton Seeds here, in Siou Falls on Wednesday night at 18:00. The winner of the match moves to face #4 North in the Pentagon of Sanford on Sunday:
This marks the third clash between these programs this season, with the USF stating both previous meetings. The couges provided a 75-65 victory in Crowxton on January 4, before bringing a command of 83-64 at home on February 14th.
On the part of the men, the cougities are 9-seines and head to the way to Minot, North Dakota to take the 8th seeds. The advice is set for 18:00.
Here are the nuts and bolts of the match:
These two teams met once this season, with the USF presenting a statement 85-61 winning over Minot State on January 10 at Sioux Falls. At that time, the beavers were ranked # 4 in the country, but the cougities controlled the game from beginning to end.
However, the game in Minot State Dome is a different challenge, since Cougars are only 5-4 for all time on the road against beans.
The winner between Beats and Kugari will take over with the highest-month Concordia-CV. Paul inside the Pentagon on Saturday at 4:30.
