Jacks beat DSU in exhibition finale

BY LONNY ANDERSON The Brookings Register
Published: November 6th, 2006

So far, so good.

The South Dakota State University men’s basketball team closed out its preseason schedule with an 88-72 win over Dakota State at Frost Arena Sunday night, giving the Jackrabbits a 2-0 exhibition record.

Dakota State tied the score at two-all early in the game, but SDSU went on a 10-0 run and the score was never close again.

The Jacks shot 50 percent (36-for-72 ) from the field, and had five players (including a quartet of freshmen) score in double figures led by freshman Kai Williams, who recorded a double-double with 17 points and 11 rebounds. Williams awed the crowd early in the first half, as he caught an alley-oop pass from point guard Mackenzie Casey and flushed home a two-handed dunk.

Freshman Thomas Bassett also recorded a double-double with 16 points and 10 rebounds, and redshirt freshman Mark Engen just missed a double-double with 13 points and nine rebounds.

South Dakota State head coach Scott Nagy said he saw some improvement in his post players from SDSU’s first exhibition game on Oct. 31.
“They shot the ball well and rebounded the ball a lot better than they did the last game, and that’s what I was most pleased with,” Nagy said.
“They did not rebound the ball at all (in our game) against Southwest Minnesota State.”

SDSU Freshman Cam Hornby scored 11 points in the win, and sophomore Matt Cadwell finished with 10 points. . . . (read more)


Go State!

From the Register Article:
"Nagy added that the team is progressing, but that with such a young team (eight freshmen and a sophomore) it would probably not be until Christmas that the Jacks were playing at the level the coaching staff would like them to be at."

This is something we need to keep in mind for this season.  We are incredibly young this year, will probably end up as one of the youngest teams in the nation.  Its going to be an up and down year to say the least.

Re: SDSU vs. Dakota State

Messed up the first time, will try again: HOLY COW (or actually HOLY JACKRABBIT). I had no idea the board was up again. I've been lost since the previous site got closed down. Way to go...Jackrabbit89 and Filbert, or whoever gets the credit. Since I'm back, and posting a reply on this subject, I'll just make a comment on my one pet peeve from earlier days: Post your information (a great way for us all to hear something we didn't know), post your opinions (so we can agree or disagree), but for heaven's sakes, drop the back and forth shots. Correct misinformation, disagree or agree with a previous post, but don't ready something sinister into every word of every post. (End of editorial comment)!

It's great to see some familiar posters (JackMD, Jackrabbit89, Filbert etal) and great to be back!!!

Go JACKS!

Re: SDSU vs. Dakota State

We should've beat General Beadle State College, I mean Dakota State, by 35 points.  SDSU provides 13 full ride scholarships and DSU gives out 3-5!!!!!  I love our Jacks, but please, no justifying the lowly win against Dakota State.  They are predicted to get 8th in the Dac 10.  Jackmd is right - we should've manhandled DSU.

I love our Jacks, but we aren't great yet.  We are getting better and improving.  Nags has a few great gets with Kai Williams and Bassett plus his future classes, but the fact is they should've dominated DSU from the tip off.

After watching both exhibition games, I dont think there are very many teams that SDSU could beat by 35 points. The youngsters have talent and are indeed fun to watch, but they need some more time on the floor before they can start putting it together as a team unit. I dont think we have a motivation or head problem with any one on the team, its just that they are still cubs and not man-killing mountain lions. The killer and put away instinct will come with time.

But at least we have one man-killing mountain lion. Vote Caddy for Govenor!

Re: SDSU vs. Dakota State

When I look at the DSU game, I don't see DSU really making any threat towards winning the game.  The Jacks handled them(as they should), but like someone else said.  I don't think this team is going to beat anyone by 35 - no matter who they play.  They had DSU down by 20 a couple times, and let them stay in it in that range the whole game.  They could sneak up on a few teams this year, but I think could lose some winnable games as well. They are a very young squad, and that could lead to an up and down season, but there is some good talent on the team...

I see the Northwestern Red Raiders from Orange City defeated DSU 116-68 last night. If you compare scores it shows just how far we have to go. I still believe.

Re: SDSU vs. Dakota State

Whats the point of all of these exhibition comparisons? Heres a comparison:

Halftime:

Northern Iowa 32
SW Minnesota 31

End of Game

Northern Iowa 70
SW Minnesota 58

So is Northern Iowa in trouble this year? Do they have a long ways to go? Or is it just an exhibition game?

We beat them missing 6 players, and playing Cadwell about 20 minutes. Could it be that we maybe just want to give everybody playing experience, especially Williams and Basset? I'm positive we could have played the starters for 40 minutes and blown DSU straight out of Frost Arena. And we could have pounded on SW, but whats the point? Its an exhibition game. Nagy probably didn't really even care if we won that SW game, and I think I remember him saying that. I don't know what pounding on an NAIA team would have proven to board members here, but I'm glad Nagy is the coach and has enough common sense to use these games for what their intended for-playing the new players.

Well said, gotta agree with you there.

Re: SDSU vs. Dakota State

Last night in exhibition Winona State beat Minnesota. If you remember back to the first couple of games when we went D-I, we beat these same Winona players with starting guards of Brady Hockenson and Luke Geiver, two WALK-ONs. By the end of the next season those same Winona players won a D-II national championship. The next season they have beaten the gophers. I'm not saying that to bring down Winona, I'm pointing out what a difference two seasons of experience makes in basketball. Just think about that... two years ago Winona was losing to our walk-ons, now they're beating Big 10 teams in basketball.

Just something to think about as the season progresses, and we watch A LOT of young talent on this squad. One other thing to point out... since we have moved D-I, Nagy has only played one player during his Freshman year- Holdren, the others he redshirted. This year he is going to play two, and maybe three freshman when Calahan is better. What does that say about the talent level on the team?

SW Minn subbed 5 in and 5 out all first half to get everyone minutes.  They played 11 players and 10 got double digit minutes according to the box score. (also, the box shows Cadwell playing 26 minutes and he was on the floor when the game was on the line) If either team was "trying to give everybody playing experience", it seems to me SW was the team trying to get a lot of guys a lot of minutes and if they won or lost really wasn't that important.  To say SDSU could have "pounded" on SW Minn is not very objective, as a matter of fact it is a statement that is reallly kind of ridiculous!!!

Will SDSU ever get tired of making the "missing guys" excuse?  Maybe I am crazy, but with 13 sholly's, shouldn't the Jacks be able to at least get 7-9 legit DI kids on the floor and thump a DII team, even if they are red-shirting a couple of the 13 and 2-4 others are injured.  Like I said, call me crazy, but I want a legitimate answer to that question from Jackrabbit apologists.

I will tell you before you start ripping me, I am not the biggest SDSU fan, if at all, but I have stated in the past I really liked watching SDSU's teams in the early 2000's.  If it is wrong to ask this type of question, let me know.

Ok,

You are crazy.   ;D  Next what do we need to apologize for, it was an Exhibition game and we won with only 9 players.  End of story.
