SDSU had a bad first five minutes, but owned everything after. 35-22 at the half over Oakland.

Production quality is about everything you'd expect. In other words, awful. I'm really digging the audio delay during pregame, halftime and interviews. It's bringing back wonderful Godzilla movie memories.

[Elephants Dream?]

I tried to online stream WNAX 570 but I got an announcement that for legal
reasons they couldn't stream live blah blah blah.

SDSU over Oakland 67-53 in the first game

[Hammersmith]

#2 IUPUI knocks out UMKC 59-47.

[roadwarrior]

IUPUI over Kansas City 59-47

[Hammersmith]

The 4/5 matchup of IPFW and WIU is going down to the wire. 84-81 WIU with 12sec to go.

Near-desperation 3 ties it up at 84 at the end of regulation. Going to OT.

[Hammersmith]

Feeling deja vu. 96-94 WIU with 13sec.

IPFW comes up big a second time.

96-all at the end of the first OT. Going for another.

[Hammersmith]

Don't want to jinx things, but it looks like IPFW is going to pull this thing out. 104-101 with 10sec left. And 2 IPFW FT make it 106-101.

And that's the final. NDSU/USD to start in around 30 minutes.

Hopefully we can be the first upset of the tourney(though I doubt it).

[Hammersmith]

17-all at the under 8 time out.

[gotts]

Birkel having heck of a first half. Bison doing a good job on the offensive glass.

[Hammersmith]

28-26 USD at the half.

[Bison"FANatic"]

So up by five with things going our way and girls are outplaying USD with three minutes to go so we take a timeout. USD goes on 7-0 run to take half time lead.

[Elephants Dream?]

OK, it's half. Do a little speculating.
Which coach will you bet on to do the best at making halftime adjustments?
A first year D1 coach, or a fifth year D1 coach? Interesting matchup.

[aces1180]

51 - 37 USD with 8:45 left.

This game is OVER...

[HandoEX]

Fire the coach!!!!!

[Hammersmith]

This is going to be a 20pt blowout.

Yep. 73-53 USD.

[tony]

Ouch. This is not how I wanted to see Dani DeGagne and Katie Birkel go out. Yeah, USD was shooting the lights out but that had a lot to do with NDSU not playing anything resembling defense.

Next year could be pretty bad because I'm not seeing anything to build on.

[Elephants Dream?]

"Next year could be pretty bad."
Understatement Alert!
-
The 21 to 2 free throw run sealed the deal.
10-19 year -- LD better sign her to another contract extension <-- purple font.
Now we get to listen to all the excuses, again.

[Bisonionette]

Tony, you have been to any practices? how do you know if you havent seen 'em play yet?

it'll be ok... try to be positive until proven otherwise...

Funny, cuz I made a critique about a recruits tape from a videographer and got blasted about being negative

[SpursBison]

Complaining about refs is usually not my thing, but.... And very little production from the underclassmen. It was hard to watch the second half.

[gotts]

Dehoff pretty emotional in the postgame presser...

If it will be ok, then I will expect another 4-6th place finish in the Summit and countless blowout losses which seems to be the norm around here.

If Coach DeHoff had talent redshirting this year instead of playing, that was a mistake on her part since the bench got outscored 30-2 or something insane like that.

Anyway, I've been trying to be positive since Ruley retired... it's like holding my breath, I can't do it forever. That said, I won't rip on Coach DeHoff. Either she'll turn the program around or she won't? Right now, I'd put the over/under on Bison WBB Summit wins next year at 3.

Who knows? Maybe this horrible season will light a fire under the team.

Well she has a year to prove herself. And it best be a top 3 team in the Summit. .500 should not be good enough next year. Anything short of both of those marks and she hits the bricks.

You have better lungs than me, I can't hold my breath anymore.

[HoopsBison]

bummer was hoping for win today from the girls.

[BlueKeyAlum]

I don't see any reason for optimism related to improvement over this season.

[tjbison]

terrible last couple years, doubt any other coach at a school that expects to win would still be employed

sub par is the benchmark for our ladies team i guess, guess its at least a couple more years till i "think" about going to their games

[Hammersmith]

[reposted from other thread]

IPFW must have pissed off SDSU some way. Mostly joking, but the Jacks are trouncing the 'Dons.

86-59 final

[Hammersmith]

USD is going to beat IUPUI to make it an all-South Dakota final tomorrow afternoon.

77-67 with a minute to go.


82-72 final

[GRAFTONBISON]

USD up on SDSU 28-22 with 3:30 left in the first half

[JSUBison]

USD up on SDSU 28-22 with 3:30 left in the first half

Game looks real good on espn, plus the place looks packed. The women's tourney probably has better attendance than many mens conference tourneys.

[NorthernBison]

50-50 with 4:37 left. Come on Yotes.

[TAILG8R]

USD down by 3 with 5.8 to go. SDSU fouls to eliminate the 3 point attempt.

[Hammersmith]

56-53 Jacks final

[TAILG8R]

Final 56 - 53 SDSU wins

[NorthernBison]

Final 56 - 53 SDSU wins

9 points scored in the last 4 minutes. Yuck.

[Tatanka]

Just read through this and couldn't shake this one stat from my head: 16 out of the last 17 meetings with your rival school resulting in a loss, and the scores aren't even close. Is that the hallmark of a winning program? Is that a hallmark of a program, period?

I guess we'll find out where the program stands based on the seed we get for the NCAA tournament. I think the selection show is tonight....wait, what?
