Balance critical
for state champs
By Eric Peterson

No Eric Erdmann. No prob-
lem.
Four Fargo North starters
scored at least 15 points apiece
Friday at the North gym.
That balance carried the
Spartans to an 81-73 overtime
victory against Mandan in
North Dakota Class A boys
basketball.
The game was the season
opener for defending state
champion North.
“We don’t have a Mr.
Gatorade, a Mr. Basketball or
an Eric Erdmann out there this
year,” said North senior Justin
Lake, who scored 16 points,
including a key
3-pointer in overtime. “We need
to find people to play together.
We need a group effort.”
Erdmann – a first-team all-
state player and North Dakota
Gatorade player of the year
last season – graduated and is
playing at the University of
Mary.
“We’ve been playing togeth-
er all summer so I knew that
we had good team chemistry
right away,” said North junior
Jordan May, who scored a
team-high 17 points. “It should
be a fun season.”
All five North starters
scored seven points or more
after halftime. Senior Alex
Bergeron, the only starter to
not score in double figures,
netted all seven of his points
in the second half.
The Spartans scored the
first five points in overtime
and never trailed from that
point. Zach Wehri sank two
free throws and Lake swished
a 3-pointer from the left wing.
Lake’s shot staked North to a
71-66 lead with 2 minutes, 52
seconds to play in overtime.

Wisconsin took advantage of

lack of effort and execution to

ond period – a frame in which
UND didn’t get a shot until the

And the kicking game is impor-
tant. To me, that’s the key. If you
take that formula and use it,

Holtz is just one of many suc-

whom Wilson can draw inspira-
tion.
Wilson, the last of four candi-
dates to interview for the MSUM
job, has worked as an assistant for
Charlie Taaffe at The Citadel, Ken
Hatfield at Arkansas and Clem-
son, Bob Simmons at Oklahoma
State and Glen Mason at Min-

“We’re doing our best to pre-
pare for it,” said sophomore
Ryan Duncan, who scored
twice for UND.
“It seems like I’m saying the
same thing every night. We’ve

Scoundrel or savior?
Depends on where you’re

From scoundrel
in Cincy …
Huggins detractors had
plenty of material with which
to work, based on the coach’s
stay at Cincinnati.
Huggins built the Bearcats
into a national power and the
resume was impressive: a
Final Four appearance, three
times into the Elite Eight, 14
straight NCAA appearances,
five NBA first-round draft
picks including Kenyon
Martin and Nick Van Exel,
five national coach of the year
awards. His 572 victories in 24
years rank seventh among
active Division I coaches.
But there was a dark side.
Oh, was there a dark side.
Huggins was known as a
renegade who ran a program
filled with thugs, most of
whom did not graduate.
Nineteen players were
charged with crimes during
Huggins’ tenure. During his
time at Cincinnati, just 28
percent of incoming freshmen
graduated and in four of nine
reporting years, according to
the NCAA, there was a 0
percent graduation rate.
Cincinnati was slapped with
two years of NCAA probation
in 1998 after a player received
illegal benefits. The
organization determined
there was a “lack of
institutional control” over
Huggins’ program.
The end came after Huggins

Huggins disputes the

Cincinnati and players who
