Waytashek scores on a wide open backdoor cut.

Jacks get a stop, Clarin gets a fast bucket. 13 points game.

Re: Semifinal GDT: USD

Waytashek had a good post move but missed the shot. Seekamp fouled on the rebound and makes 2.

Beware the byes of March.

Re: Semifinal GDT: USD

Had to happen eventually. At least there's one more game. Might even be at Frost.

Good work USD. Absolutely crushed us. Their inside game is what I expect the Jacks to have.

Re: Semifinal GDT: USD

USD didn't even shoot that well, they just outplayed us on the glass and in the paint. I hate this cliche, but they just wanted it more.

SDSU has played awful in spurts this year, and it caught up to them. The streaky 3pt shooting also came back to bite us.

I would think they would have at least one game in Brookings for the WNIT, but not entirely sure.

Re: Semifinal GDT: USD

Some horrible SDSU turnovers the last couple minutes. Unforced, too.

Do we have any shot of an at-large birth? 22-9, wins over Penn State, Georgetown, CMU, etc... RPI in the 40's, I believe.

An outside shot. Way outside, in the wilderness with no human habitation. I'd be floored if we got an at large.

Seriously doubtful. We were already projected as a #13 seed and I doubt there are any at large bids that low. Hoping for a game in Frost. I might make the trip up for that if it is on the right day.

Re: Semifinal GDT: USD

Sorry if this has already been stated,but there goes the "Summit Leagues" seed dropping in the NCAA Tournament,from 12/13 to.....14/15? If we can't beat Summit teams,we have no business playing in the NCAA's anyway.

Let's see how far we can go in the WNIT.

I was looking at this exact scenario this morning.

Last four in according to Charlie Creme

Oklahoma (18-14) RPI: 59 SOS: 23
Vanderbilt (18-12) RPI: 43 SOS: 15
Florida (19-12) RPI: 63 SOS: 30
Florida State (20-11) RPI: 39 SOS: 20

SDSU (22-9) RPI: 42 SOS: 150


I couldn't find an official NCAA SOS ranking, so I used this: http://warrennolan.com/basketballw/2013/sos. He just adds up opponents wins and losses.

Although I think we are a LONG shot to get an at large, I think we are at least in the conversation. I don't, however, think we deserve one. Way way way to inconsistent this year. We dominated the summit regular season, but let's face it. The summit is just not that strong of conference.

We lack a go to player. We really don't have anyone we can give the ball to that will get us a bucket when we need one. When we were really really good we had that in Jenn Warkenthein.
