Very very good

[HerdBot]

Keeping in state elite players. The foundation of a good program.

[DORMIE]

This is a great get for Coach Walseth. She was 2 years behind in recruiting because kids commit so early these days(the Tracy kid). But she didn't panic is is taking her lumps until this class of "17 (looks good on paper) shows up. Great job Maren.

[ndsubison1]

Huge get!!!

[BisBison]

love getting the in-state talent! Good get Maren.

[Kujava23]

Great addition to the program!!! Sarah will be an impact player I have NO DOUBT

For those who don't get the Forum, big Sarah Jacobson article.
She needs 13 points to be the all-time Class A scoring leader.

Tonight!

Sarah at 2108 points, family leader.....



Jacobson's mother, Pat (Smykowski) Jacobson scored 2,097 points at Lidgerwood High School from 1979-1984 before becoming an All-American at North Dakota State. Jacobson's older brother, A.J., is North Dakota's all-time Class A boys leading scorer with 2,002 points and now plays basketball at NDSU.

[bruinbison]

Shanley with their 60th straight victory last night, all-time ND Class A
record. Next up on the record books, Minot Ryan's overall record of 63.
Sara Jacobson with 25 points, Lauren Rotunda 14 (University of Mary signee). 6' 2" junior Emily Dietz with 18 points.

[bruinbison]

Shanley ties Minot Bishop Ryans' all-time win-streak record of 63
with a 84-36 victory over West Fargo Sheyenne yesterday.
Sara Jacobson with 23 points.

This is why we let certain players walk so we can load up on younger stars that fit the system with 4 years of eligibility. Only x amount of scholarships available.

Shanley 1 point lead - 5:04 to go against Minot
Class A quarterfinals

[bruinbison]

Deacons lead by 3 with 51 secs left

[bruinbison]

Dietz with 2 clutch ft , Shanley by 5

[bruinbison]

Shanley holds on to win by 5
Jacobson with 18, Rotunda 22, Askvig & Reynolds 18 each

[bruinbison]

Both Rylee Nudell and Sarah Jacobson are nominated for
Miss ND Basketball. All-time Class B leading scorer vs All-time leading
Class A scorer. Who should win?
I think of Shanley's win streak and go that way.....

Also nominated - Shanley's Lauren Rotunds (Univrsity of Mary)
Minot's Cassie Askvig (also Mary), Thompson's Shaice Marx (Bemidji State)
and Watford City's Katie Mogen.

Two very worthy candidates

[bruinbison]

Hoping that Shanley takes out Wahpeton's Wascally Wabbit
in the semi-finals tomorrow - Tylee Irwin (2017) - SDSU verbal
Watched Irwin's game tonight, she looks to be 5' 11" - 6' with a slim build.
My amateur take was she has a very good handle, shoots well & can create her own shot as well.
Will never be built like a PF or a C, but with her ball-handling skills
can be a SF/SG. Shanley/Wahpeton had a tough game in the regional,
but am guessing Shanley has enough weapons to beat the Huskies again.

Just an interesting look at Pat's career vs Sarah first year. Different style of play. Minutes logged by Sarah are more and will continue to be that way I feel. Pat shot better from outside but both are close at free throw line. Sarah needs to get them more. I hope this off season Sarah and her teammates take that next step to put this program back on top. They have the pieces to do it. Remember Sarah's mom ranks in the two 2 or 3 in a lot of offensive categories. She was one of the best ever to put on the uniform. Sarah will make her own claim on NDSU. We know she has that in her.

I dont think is appropriate to make this comparison, not fair to sarah, and apples to oranges as to DII to DI competition

Two sources confirm that former #NDSU guard Sarah Jacobson will transfer to MSU Moorhead next year. The former Miss Basketball will have two years of eligibility remaining with the Dragons

[MNLonghorn10]

Dragons will have a very good team next year... they return 4 staters.

Maybe they can host a region if they dominate the conference

[Greta Van Herd]

I think D2 is the right level of play for her, and MSUM is a good place to land.

I think she’ll be a solid contributor off the bench for the Dragons, but not a starter or a “star” per se.

I might be wrong, and only time will tell. Best of luck to her.

It will be interesting to see if she starts or comes off the bench. Maybe she'll be the starting replacement for Volkert.

[El_Chapo]

oh no. where will ndsu replace that 9 points per game and 3 assists per game from a point guard!!!??? LOL

Ill miss her last game at Summit League Tournament:

2-10 shooting 6 points ONE assist and she wasn't even fast enough to chase down sdsu guards to foul them at the end. yikes.

[bisoneer]

I think she will start at MSUM or why would she go there to be a bench player? Its D2....

[twinsguy03]

I think she will start at MSUM or why would she go there to be a bench player? Its D2....

She probably will start but there's not a lot of disparity between d-1 and d-2. Augie will be competitive in the Summit when they arrive. Half of the NSIC teams would compete for the Summit title if they were in that league.

[Bison bison]

They would compete against SDSU and USD? Pfft.

[DIBISON]

No they wouldn't.

[Greta Van Herd]

Quoted for preposterity.

[twinsguy03]

I would bet MSUM and UMD would give SDSU and USD a run for their money.

[Greta Van Herd]

I would bet MSUM and UMD would give SDSU and USD a run for their money.

By “a run for their money” do you mean that they would come in and run up and down the court for a while if USD and SDSU pays them to do it?

That’s the only way I can make sense of your statement.

[Vet70]

I would bet MSUM and UMD would give SDSU and USD a run for their money.

So you didn't mean half of the NSIC teams would compete for the title?

[twinsguy03]

By “a run for their money” do you mean that they would come in and run up and down the court for a while if USD and SDSU pays them to do it?

That’s the only way I can make sense of your statement.

Evidently you haven't seen them play if you think just because a school is d-1 it means their players are that much greater than d-2 players.

[twinsguy03]

So you didn't mean half of the NSIC teams would compete for the title?

Haha, I meant they would be in the upper half of the league.

[SteelSD]

A box score from last year that really doesn’t support your argument.

Also last year's team, not the roster that made it to the 2nd round of the tourney this year. Obviously SDSU has a good program, but some people think the disparity between d-1 and winning d-2 teams is huge and it really isn't.

I think this is kind of a generalization. Maybe the disparity between winning D2 and some D1 teams is not that great. Get out of the mid-majors and the teams you are referring to would get destroyed.

[twinsguy03]

Absolutely agree

And it also wasn’t the SDSU team that is a 6 seed in the NCAA tournament.

Now I don’t disagree that the top NSIC teams could battle the middle of the pack Summit teams, but right now USD and SDSU are significantly better than the top teams of the NSIC. SDSU plays at least 1 NSIC exhibition game every year and since 2010 only 1 game has been closer than 22 points. Now I’m not saying they play the top team every year, but the games are typically 30+ point affairs. But granted they are also always in Frost so that certainly plays a role, but I would expect both SD schools would roll through the NSIC, at least right now.

[summitfever]

Another thing to consider is that playing one game against a D1 team is much different than playing D1 every game. Exhibition games are much different in a regular season game.

Now you are sounding like every internet guy from an FBS school whose football team was whomped by the Bison.

[Twentysix]

Agreed. But SDSU and USD are incredible right now in wbb. Better than ndsu sure, but no way they out perform the South Dakota schools.

No, the Bison have not made the NCAA or NIT tournaments since moving to DI.

No, the Bison are not even a regular .500 team in the Summit. Two years below .500 for every one year at or above .500. Under .500 since 2012.

Amy Ruley had 1 year in the Summit League and had as many conference wins as the last 4 years under Walseth. She also had the old BSA to draw recruits.

DeHoff looks like coach K compared to Walseth but all of her success was with Ruleys players.

Coaching is everything in basketball

[Bisonionette]

in 2015 they started out 5-2 (finished 7-9) in summit, then had some unfortunate, and close loses... coulda woulda shoulda

Thanks Hammersmith.
"Yes, the Bison have won only one game in Sioux Falls; 2009 vs. (6) WIU. First year eligible for the tourney."

I've been in too many gyms with them, and attended too many games, to keep it all straight.

Meant it sort of as saying at their best they essentially were .500. But understandably it could have been read the other way.

Can we just be real and say NDSU’s WBB team has absolutely sucked in the last 10-15 years and we need a good, solid coach that doesn’t go on European trips to “find” mediocre players?


Plus I’m not sure on the motivation for hiring or recruiting. NDSU WBBs has been rampant as far as lesbians go. I have no issue with that, as long as its not prejudiced against straight/heterosexual females and or males in terms of coaches and players.

Let’s get real hear and be sane.

I’ve been involved with Bison Athletics for decades, and know some of the former coaches and assistant ADs personally. IOW, I have direct knowledge. Is that good enough for you?

And I don’t care if new coach is gay, but let’s just not make it a job qualification nor use that info in any way when selecting a new coach.

This is a quote, said to me from a former woman in our athletic department when discussing with her one of our great teams back in late 80’s: “Aren’t they long and athletic and beautiful”? And yes, the woman who said it was lesbian—which was well-known/understood, although not talked about much back then, at least openly and publicly.
