Re: GDT:Jackrabbits vs. Mavericks

The last few years, they've been getting three or four at least into the mid-major poll. Maybe we can benefit by scheduling and hopefully beating them. We played and beat Gonzaga on the road and at home back when they had Vandersloot (now in WNBA).Our level of play dropped a little since then( not much,but it doesn't take much either)and theirs went up a little.They're NCAA Tournament record is a little better than ours,mainly because they earned the better seeding. Gonzaga has pretty much dominated the WCC, thus the rise of the others in an effort to finally get past them and the reason they elevated their game.To the Zags credit,they've managed to stay a step ahead.

Hopefully,we've finally got the team this year,and particually next year to turn the corner and get past the first round again.Can't look past the SLT this year either,it'll be a battle also, as it always is.

Yeah, I kind of miss the matchups with Gonzaga. Even at their best we always seemed to be a tough matchup for them. Wonder if San Diego is going to want to do a home/away series to get Chynna back to SD.

That would be nice,to play USD (the other one).

I remember the game at Frost with the Zags,was back and forth the whole game , it was hot in the gym and it was such an intense battle that I think Vandersloot was getting muscle cramps form dehydration , it came down to Ketty Cornemann literally lunging at a perimeter pass and deflecting it to Jill Young ,who was subsequently fouled (she shot about 90% from the FT line) and she iced it for us.......Graham Hayes attended and wrote a good artIcle about the game for ESPN. Classic battle between two very good basketball programs,the fans in attendence got their money's worth that day.
