Re: Centenary GDT-Men

That was the best I have seen the men play team defense in a long time. I'm not gonna knock anyone for tonights game. Even the entire bench looked good (like to see Radar work on his footing). Shot a lot less threes for the game, mainly because there were lanes to the hoop players couldn't pass up. Really liked the ball movement in the first half when Cent. went with the zone. Extra passes along with taking time off the clock. Nice game guys!!

Re: Centenary GDT-Men

Best back-to-back games SDSU has played since the D-II days, hands-down.

The guys look very much like they figured a few things out over the Christmas break and came back intending to play the game like it needs to be played. Total team effort--everybody brought their A games, it seems.

Next: proving that they can take this new, improved Jackrabbit show on the road and win two winnable games in Kansas City and Cedar City.

But tonight, I'm a happy Rabbit.

Re: Centenary GDT-Men

We should all expect that there will still be a few stumbles the rest of the way.

Knowing that I hope we can take them in stride.

Re: Centenary GDT-Men

How big was the win over Centenary? Does it compare to the ORU win?

I think it compares with the ORU win from the standpoint of 2 consistant efforts in a row.

This. As thrilled as I was that the Jacks kerblastificated an opponent, it was still Centenary.

The Jackrabbit team that showed up tonight was the most hustling, intense Jackrabbit team that I've seen in a long time. (the first men's game I've been to this year)

I was definately happy they came out and played well after beating ORU, instead of coming out with a big let down.

I noticed right way how much better this team is able to run the floor, had some very quick transitions.

Way to go men!

Re: Centenary GDT-Men

Two things; The dunk by Moss on the missed shot was the greatest dunk ever in Frost Arena!


Radio announcer had a comment when i left back to sioux falls with a few minutes to go talking about the freshman for Centenary that scored a few baskets at the end and celebrated altittle: "Tyler said, if he continues to play like that he will be a D-3 all-american in a couple of years! That was a good shot at that player! I was laughing for miles!

Re: Centenary GDT-Men

The dunk by Moss was great but not the best ever at Frost. There has been many great ones in Frost if you go back a ways.

Can you name one? It has to be a putback since those are the most amazing! He reached back fully extended and hammered it!

Re: Centenary GDT-Men

It was a good dunk and got me to my feet, but not sure if "best ever" is right.

I can remember many dunks from Bob Winzenburg, Steve Lingenfelter and Jim Walker on fastbreaks that were more powerful and often over more than one player. I remember one game, I think in the 79-80 year, where they had four straight trips with dunks all of which were as powerful as tonights. The first and last were on lobs from Kevin McNamara I think.

That is just from one game in one year, so best ever at Frost may be a stretch.

EDIT: Oh, and it does not have to be a put back, the timing, force, leaping and stretch can be just as good on long lob as a put back.

Re: Centenary GDT-Men

...not to be a thread-jacker, but since we're talking about it....the best dunk I ever saw at Frost was Greg Himler vs. USD on 2/16/96. He took off from about 1 step inside the free throw line (via a pass on a 2 on 1 fast break) and one-handed tomahawked it over a hapless Coyote.

...back to the game. Ok, it appears we may have figured out this intensity thingy at home...now let's take it on the road and kerblastificate some teams

Kai had one two games ago at home. It was a good dunk for both of them. My view was right in line with the basket for Dale's and it was very nice. But to say it is the best dunk of all times in Frost is going a little far. There have been some nice dunkers in the 20+ years of SDSU BB I have watched. I just enjoy every dunk as it gets the crowd going even more.

Re: Centenary GDT-Men

Moss's dunk was great in one aspect. It fired up the crowd even more and kept the place rockin until the end.

C'mon...The win over ORU was big (actually HUGE)...but Cenentary is the bottom feeder school. It was fun to watch, but the road is the challenge. Don't make too much out of beating Cenentary. Take it to UMKC and SUU!!! THAT is the test.
I agree with Steve and Tyler. There's a different look and feel about the team and it was fun to see Scott actually get into the game.
