    Great week of basketball for the Rabbits. The team rallied on Wednsday night and went wire to wire on Satuday. A difficult road trip and two victories. Nice work Rabbits!

    I found it intereesting last night during the broadcast when the announcers were talking about all the advantages SDSU has in basketball over other Summit League teams. This is hot button issue with NDSU once again winning the FCS football championship. The annoucning team discussed how difficult of a road trip this is for "most" Summit League teams. Traveling to Denver and then Ft. Wayne. They mentioned due to larger budgets and commitment to basketball that SDSU was able to charter a plane from Denver and back to Brookings from Ft. Wayne. The announcer said most Summit League teams have to fly commercial and this road trip is a nightmare for them. Maybe the chartered plane helped as the Rabbits looked very fresh in the first half and built a 20 point lead at half time. It was just interesting to listen to someone else complain about money.....

    Go Rabbits!
    They also referenced the Horizon was an upgrade over the Summit which is debatable.

        When the Roos left for the WAC, it was an easier path to Final 64. That was the intention of the admin at UMKC. The upgrade at the Horizon might be the geographical footprint as the point of view of PFW. I do not know the conference ratings between the 2, but there is likely not a big jump to the top of the conference for the basketball programs. IUPUI women and men settled in similar positions on their move. Also-a plug for Nagy and a con for Kampe-both of those coaches settled into familiar conference positions. Geography is the best guess improvement and if the mileage is figured, it may not be as great as anticipated.

The teams traveled together, and they couldn't have flown out of Denver until late Thursday - early Friday morning after the women's game. And they were in Fort Wayne Friday afternoon as there were pictures posted of Hendo visiting ex-coach Iverson. If they did stop off in Brookings, it couldn't have been for long enough to give them any kind of advantage.
          They did not got back to Brookings. The men practiced in Denver Thursday then went to the women’s game and they chartered to Fort Wayne from Denver. I believe the men and women probably took the same charter.

            And there is a picture of the WBB attending the men's game in Ft Wayne....

              Depending when you heard this I think they were referencing the geographical footprint of the Horizon when comparing to the recent trip (Fargo, Grand Forks, Macomb) IPFW took.

                The women came back to Brookings for sure. They practiced yesterday in frost. Must've chartered to Ft Wayne in time for the men's game.

                  I heard that. They also commented Horizon was a tougher league after the travel discussion.

                    Mya was at her sister's game at BV Friday night.

                      Check the Jan11 tweet for Saturday night. Myah was on the road a bunch. Was she in Denver too?

                            It’s going to be interesting how they add Key into the mix. They move the ball so well together. That will be a challenge for the coaches because Key’s style is more ball oriented.

                              Since the Jacks are currently in first place in the standings because of having one more win than the other one loss teams, they get placed in the weekly NCAA bracketology guesses. Joe Lunardi of ESPN has the Jacks as a #15 seed playing #2 San Diego State. Wait for it - SDSU vs SDSU ! An announcer's dream !

                                I've been thinking the same thing for a little while now. Ball movement has been fantastic, which get's everyone in more of a rhythm and takes some pressure out of the post because we have been shooting much more efficiently. I love Key's Perimeter Defense and ability to get his one bucket but the team clearly plays better when the ball is being swung around.
