SDSU 56, Denver 52

The Jackrabbits go to 5 and 6 on the season. They're learning to win the close ones.

Kai had a great night...I think he had 26 pts.

I tuned in late too . . .

Merry Christmas, Kai's got his double-double, according to the SDSU game tracker, 25 points, 10 rebounds. (I came in late, too!)

Re: U Denver

Jacks win, nice. How could the UD coach lose it like that? Good sign to see the Jacks hang in there and persevere.

One of five precincts reporting in Yankton, the incumbunts are 3rd and 4th in votes so far. Top 2 get the seats.

Re: U Denver

Yippee, Jacks win by 4. It went down just about to the the final horn. Pretty low score against a slow-down team, but both teams seemed to shoot well. Kai gets double double, 25 points and 10 rebounds.

Re: U Denver

Coach sounds quite pleased by Moss' contributions, including 21 minutes of playing time. It's nice to have another guard option emerging. ... Congrats, Jacks.

Moss played very well. His athleticism was a big factor in this game. That block (possibly goaltend) at the end was amazing!

Another bad attendance figure: 1307. I don't remember any crowds like that forty years ago in the Barn when the enrollment was 4000. If we're D1, encourage the students to attend games.

Re: U Denver

Missed the game, had a meeting. Good win anyway. Now trying to find out recall election results here in Yankton.

Re: U Denver

Good job Jacks. 5-6 record, one more win and we already match the win total from last year.

I was at the game. Kai had a good game offensively 5 for 5 first five three point attempts. He got his share of the boards, but I dont know if he got 10. Dale Moss lite up Frost with his rebounds, blocked shots and key buckets. For a true freshman he is a very good athlete. Ben Beran continues to have problems with fouls. We still are having those terrible turnovers just when the fans are expecting some spectular offensively.

Key person of interest to me was the U Denver coach Joe Scott. A very emotional guy. I think early in the game he recognized the patterns that we run and I suspect some of these patterns are built to give Kai a big three. One or more of his guys were not staying with Kai and did Coach Scott let his guys know it. Finally, toward the end Kai pulled down a board and maybe from the coaches angle, it appeared to be a goal tend and he went completely ballistic and threw his nice dress jacket into the stands. Unfortuately, the ref saw that and his emotional outrage and called a technical. Garrett iced the free throws that by and large won the game since there was only seconds left. I got a feeling this coach will be seeing Kai in his dreams for a week or so, and then maybe some one else will have gotten his goat.

I am proud of our guys. The younger guys are getting better and if we can sweep the California trip, we will face Oakland with a winning record of 8-6 on Jan 3.

Defensively, we are improving a great deal. A key to stopping Denver was to deny the lay ups and that they did most of the time.
