Augie coach Cody Schilling on 2nd year success, show-stopping point guard Tameron Ferguson, in-state studs

Augustana's all-time leading scorer when he graduated from the school in 2012, Schilling has his alma mater rolling in his second year as head coach. After growing pains of a 12-18 rookie campaign, the former Tom Billiter player and assistant coach has led the Vikings to a 12-7 record and 10-4 mark in the Northern Sun, good for third-best out of 16 teams.    Augie has won four consecutive games, all on the road, and returns to the Elmen Center for home contests against Bemidji State on Friday night and Minnesota-Duluth on Saturday afternoon.   In a 40-minute interview on the floor where he poured in hundreds of points, Schilling explains how his second squad is surging behind likely All-NSIC first team guard Tameron Ferguson, who is at or near the top of several offensive categories, including third in scoring (21.5 points). In-state recruits like Mitchell's Caden Hinker and Marcus Talley are also in the mix.   All this while Schilling's wife is eight months pregnant, with a due date right around the regular season finale against arch-rival Sioux Falls and the NSIC Tournament in February.
