  • Southwest Minnesota GDT

    I don't expect the Jacks to have much trouble tonight - the Mustangs are 2-2 with wins over North Carolina Pembroke and Grand Canyon. The Mustangs lost to Cal State Dominguez Hills who in turn lost to Biola University which is a small christian university in LA. The Mustangs lost to Michigan Tech also. I'm not expecting much of a crowd tonight with the student body largely back home with their families for the holidays. I think Frost will see one of the smallest crowds of the season tonight.
    Message for the youth: “Set your goals high and work for them, because if you set your goals where they should be, it’s going to require a lot of hard work. And even if you don’t achieve them, it shows longevity, and it shows commitment. And those are both things you need for the rest of your life,” Tony Fiegen

      Biola is the alma mater for Senator John Thune. Seems like he got his masters from USD. He is not a bad guy. He had to wear a Bison Jersey since we lost to NDSU on Nov 10th. Glad he bit the bullet for the Jacks. Maybe he will show tonight at the game.

          That's not how I would word it Goon but yes, SMSU Head Coach Brad Bigler tragically lost his 5 month old son Drake in a recent car accident with a repeat offender drunk driver. Coach Bigler was hospitalized with serious injuries as was his mother in law but thankfully all are slowly recovering.

                      timeout 1.21 to play before the half, Jacks lead 35-33. The Mustangs just hit a 3 after 3.30 without a score.

                        Wolters hits a 3 on the half time buzzer to make it 38-33 at the break.

                        Skippy's key to the game at this point - Offensive Rebounding - when we are not shooting well we need to give ourselves second chances - smh in frustration at this point and I'm sure the Coaching Staff will be making this point in the locker room!

                          Tonight the Jacks are too willing to settle for three-pointers. Dykstra just kind of floats around the perimeter - he should be able to post up against this team.

                            Tyler is right,it's the Nate Wolters show in the first half. I'm sure coach Nagy is giving them an earful. I predict a huge blowout in the 2nd half.
