Looks like nothing has changed. Duluth wasn't even that excited for the win. Yikes.
So what's up with Sarah Jacobson?

Way to many turnovers. Cant win being that sloppy. Not good.

Sarah did not log many minutes, Reilly never played and Sofija can not play until after semester break. The best plays the team ran were out of bounds plays under the basket. Turnovers is really what concerns me for the fact they did not play an over the top tempo last night. Team speed also seemed an issue as Bulldogs beat them to several loose balls and down the floor on fast breaks. As long as I am at it rebounding on the defense end needs to improve.
Turnover margin -9. That is nine less shots potentially and also could be missed free throws.
Offensive rebound margin -8. Lets assume this lead to another shot and not a turnover. Between these two stats is 15 less shots. In the game Bulldongs took 15 more shots in the game. NDSU shot 57.8% for the game. If they have the 17 more shots listed above and shot 57.8% on them that is another (assume all 2 point shots). This is another 18-20 points.
Free throw % was 46.2 (6-13) ouch. Bulldogs were 15-18 (83.3%). There is no doubt this team still has work in front of them. Season is still 0-0 but there is a seat that is hot warm from last year.

Another embarrassing loss. Doesn't matter to me that it was exhibition, or that Reilly didn't play, you have to win this game. You don't think kids in the Twin Cities (let alone North Dakota) see this result and ponder it when deciding where to play? Too many close games and losses with lower level schools. A 9 point win over VCSU last year, a 7 point win over Dickinson the year before, and a loss to Crookston the year before that. No knock on the girls we have, as they are great in the classroom and in the community, but the recruiting that is done on this staff is awful. We are winning recruiting battles against NAIA and D2 schools for players that should play at those levels. Maybe Maren isn't a bad coach, I'd still like to believe that, but whoever is in charge of our talent pool should probably look for a different job. This team wouldn't win the NSIC this year, and that's a problem.
She is, these are her recruits and she has not done anything to make me believe she is a good coach. This team is not good and not getting better. Thank god this is her last year. I hope Matt Larson does not make the same mistake Dorn did and give a 5 year deal to someone with zero experience. What in the sam hell was Gene thinking when he let Dorn do that???
