Re: GDT: SDSU Jackrabbits vs Omaha Mavs @ Baxter Arena 4:30pm

Last year at Omaha I found myself sitting in front of Mitch Hahn's extended family. Although I didn't enjoy losing (especially having the Jacks come to a complete stop in the second half allowing the Mavs to pull it out), I was impressed that this might be the turning point for Omaha basketball. It will always be seen as a cheap alternative to Creighton but they drew over 4,000. Well, they did it again during the holiday break. Like to win but think Omaha may have pushed its way into being the second best franchise in the Summit. Like the Baxter, too.

I'm too damn old to be driving 800 miles round trip in a winter storm, so I skipped. That means getting my fix by driving to ORU or WIU both of which are depressing experiences. Hopefully I'll be making future trips to Omaha as well a a hopefully improving Kansas City. Looking forward to '20-'21.

Also, never good to lose, but the Jacks looked pretty good on the highlight vids, especially considering the injuries.

Not much of an optimist, but I think I'm really pumped for this team in the future.

Teams are going to be very tired of trying to match up with him for the next 4 years.

I told my wife tonight he’s going to be an all time great.

The game wasn't on WNAX radio either (at least not on AM), which was kind of a bummer. Got to serve area radio listeners well to help build the fan base.

I had both games on 910 in he tractor moving snow. Never did try WNAX.

Noah Freidel had a great game. 28 points and he almost hit the game-tier at the buzzer.

Key and (to a lesser extent) Buchanan being out definitely affected this game, I think.

Especially when Omaha went with three guards in the second half. Wingett had to guard Gibson, which did not work. Having Key to team up defensively with Arians and Freidel would have matched up better against an offense like Omaha's.

Jackrabbits have more this week. ORU is here Thursday night and WIU visits Saturday night. Golden Eagles played tough in Utah against BYU. They were picked 3rd in conference with the preseason choices.

To the Jackrabbit Sports Network folks: The TuneIn app's JSN feed was totally, completely horked up for this game. I had to listen to KJJQ's station feed because the game wasn't available on the TuneIn JSN feed. And, KJJQ's JSN feed went away with post-game.

Perhaps you could have a word or two with the TuneIn folks?

Bringing a scoop shot up from your waist that close to the basket probably wasn't the best choice. Omaha was smart to put a smaller player on Wilson so Pile was there to protect the basket.

yeah, let's hope they learn from that. Easy to say now though, I guess.

Re: GDT: SDSU Jackrabbits vs Omaha Mavs @ Baxter Arena 4:30pm

Dentlinger needs help to cover Pile, who isn't a bad center at all.

I wasn't able to watch the first half but that was my take from the second hlf too. Hard to give help when they are shooting good though.

Not a great shot. Oof.

Really early, but this team can’t win the close games. Blown a few they could have won so far.

Growing pains.
