Welcome to the Summit League USD

Re: Welcome to the Summit League USD

Gotta play great defense to beat OU and ORU. USD hasn't played great defense in at least 15 years. SDSU has played great defense occasionally. As 2002 said, if its a race to 90 OU is going to win most of the time. As far as Bader, I don't think you can defend that guy when he is feeling it. You have to hope he has just an average night. He was on fire last night 8-13 behind the arc.

I don't remember what year it was, but whatever year USD lost to Winona in the regional final, after SDSU went D1, was a great defensive team, mainly due to size and athleticism. That team started players at 6'5", 6'6", 6'7", 6'10", 7'0". That team was suffocating defensively. I agree with your general point though that USD teams are usually soft defensively.

The last really good defensive teams I can remember were in the mid 90's. I must admit that I quite following the NCC closely when I left that state in 2000 and quite following USD all together when SDSU went DI. My point, Boots doesn't generally recruit with a defensive mind not does he coach that way. Match-up zones can be affective when you are the more athletic team. At this level, in the Summit league, there are some athletic players and teams.

Re: Welcome to the Summit League USD

I saw Oakland play against a bad Arkansas team early this season here in Fayetteville. I think the Jacks have to be the favorite in the Oakland game in Brookings, we play an uptemo type game as well, and Arkansas ran them off the court with good 3 point shooting and offensive putbacks. Now the game in Rochester is another story. Just my two cents.

totally agreed. I heard about that game and was blown away. And btw..LOVE the signature

Oakland 101 - USD 83

This might be a typical Summit score on their court this year. This might be premature smack.

The game was never in doubt, really pure domination by OU. USD was missing Andreoti (big guy) and Tecker left with a broken nose but they could not compete with OU. Could have easily been a 30 + point blowout. Not sure how much credit to give USD for playing hard the whole way but they did do that.

Re: Welcome to the Summit League USD

Well I think I figured out why they call USD the "605". When USD goes on the road and losses (which happens all the time), the opposing team can tell the bus driver "Take them back to the 605". The bus drive knows to take them back to South Dakota.

So now for every USD road loss, it will now be referred to as being 605'd.

Re: Welcome to the Summit League USD

I have so many questions. Do they not go back to South Dakota after wins, or is only after losses? Why is the opposing team instructing the bus driver? Wouldn't the bus driver know where to take them since they most likely came from the same spot?

I think you really 605'd that post.

Oh I don't know. Mighty Utah Valley from the Great West did a little better then the Yotes at the O'Rena this year.

Oakland 89 - UVU 83

Oakland 101 - USD 83

Re: Welcome to the Summit League USD

I think we should have waited until the end of last night's game to say "Welcome to the SL USD!"

I think we should wait until the rematch in Verm town before we have to much to say. I am hoping our Jackrabbits don't pull another UND flop in Verm town! We are clearly the better men's program right now. It will be a much more difficult game at the dome. Tough place to play with the sight lines on the open floor of the dome. Plus, the yotes will have a little extra fire in the belly. Getting embarrashed in Brookings in one thing...........getting embarrashed in Verm town is another. That said: Jacks will still win by double digits.

C'mon guys, take this intramural fight to your own board.
If you'll take a word of advice, these are the times that test real fans. Transitions are hard. Patience. The Jacks need you to be competitive again... Hang in there!
