Lost to these teams on the road by 22 and 15. Ladies need to put forth a solid effort and play hard and a home sweep is not out of the question. USD is first at 7-2 and Western is tied for 2nd at 6-3. We are 5-4 and a couple wins will vault us right near the top of the conference standings.

It would be nice to see some fans return to watching women's basketball this weekend. Two big games against teams above us in the standings.

Brutal schedule to begin the the second half of conference SDSU, WIU and SD... If we can get just one win from those three games we would be set up to run the table the rest of the way... looking at 10-6 conference record... bold prediction but IUPUI, IPFW, Denver, Omaha and ORU are ALL beatable

Bison down to USD by 23 at one point. Currently down 2 with the ball and a minute to go.

Dammit. Offensive foul. USD ball with 40 sec.

That's twice the Bison had the chance to tie it up in the last minute.

Bison steal the ball but can't get the shot.

USD ball with 10 sec.

Bison foul. (Lamar out)

FT1: good

Two games that could have easily gone the other way.

Two games that could have easily gone the other way.

Unlike a Dehoff coached team which could have lost by 30. The girls showed character and could have won as said both games.

Yep. I'm not saying Walseth should be Summit COY, but she'd be a good runner up. Next year will be very interesting. It feels good to be optimistic about Bison WBB again.

Looked like last season when the score was 36-13.

We didn't give up and got the deficit down to 16 at half. In the second half we scored 49 and had the Coyote lead down to 2 a couple of times but missed a couple of chances to tie the game in the final minutes.

USD has a solid team.

Have to give kudos to crowd today, yellow suits sorry why are you at the end where there is only the band. At Scheels
Arena at least you try to get the students to stand, but most of the students there just sit and do nothing.

Several chicks were after the official enough the female came and gave them what seemed like a verbal warning right before half.
