Surprised this hasn't been posted yet.  Highlands grad, Freshman Sam Vinson went OFF last night in is third game for the Norse.  The season started slow for him only scoring 1 pt in the 1st game and 5 pts in the 2nd BUT then "BOOM" last night goes crazy hitting 4 of 5 three point shots to be the leading scorer with 17 points!!!  Unfortunately, his minutes were a little low with 23 since he did foul out playing hard.

I know this is only 3 games but if this is the type of performance we might see for the next 4 years this is going to be so MUCH FUN for NKY!!!

Congrats to Sam!

#GO NORSE!

He was a steal for NKU. As he gets stronger he will be a really good Horizon League player.

Unfortunately for NKU, being in the midst of Cincinnati and X to the north and UK and U of L to the south, they become the forgotten child until late in the season and conference tourney time.  It's a shame.

Very true. The Horizon League is good basketball and NKU has had very nice teams even during the D1 transition period. Low ticket prices in a very nice arena. We handled UC during the 5/3rd arena remodel. Had traffic issues, but the fans, coaches, administration, and media seemed very happy during that year. It was very interesting dealing with a MAJOR program and a MID MAJOR program at the same time. Learned a ton!

Haven't been keeping up with NKU this year, but how is Faulkner playing?

Scored his 1,000th point a few games ago, averaging 12.3 pts a game and shooting 44.7% from 3, 37.3% overall.
