Re: NJIT

I hate to say it but you could tell in warmups last night that NJIT was going to get absolutely thumped. They were small, slow, and unathletic. I kept thinking, "what is the coach telling them in the huddle every time she calls a time out?"

It wasn't like the lid was on the basket, they were just that bad! I think the Bobcat team from last year would have taken it to them! Yeah, the Brookings Bobcats!!!!

Next year will be awesome when we have a Mid-Con schedule!

Re: NJIT

Unfortunately the Mid-Con is as bad as they come for women's basketball.
I would assume the Jacks have a good shot at the conference title next year, and
probably a good shot at the NCAA's the next year.
Here's this years records and RPI.

Team Record RPI
1 SDSU 15-5 55
2 Oakland 10-10 117
3 NDSU 7-10 156
4 Oral Roberts 12-9 215
5 UIPIU 9-13 232
6 W. Illinois 7-18 295
7. S. Utah 7-13 296
8. Missouri-KC 6-16 307
9. Centary 4-20 330

Bad Signs: NDSU is currently 3rd on this list, only Oral Roberts & SDSU have winning records, Jacks only team under 100 in RPI, 4 teams with RPI's worse than 290.

Re: NJIT

They have some classy players especially #33 who had the pleasure of giving me the bird while she was at the scorer's table in the second half. And then after she did that we were on her case the rest of the game. Blow outs can be fun...I think. Nice to see all the girls get some good playing time.

The Lady Jacks took another step toward the Women's National Invitation Tournament with a victory on Thursday night. In front of 1,309 fans, the Jacks' dueled the New Jersey Institute of Technology Highlanders. With a healthy dose of domination, SDSU demolished the Highlanders, 96-30, improving to 17-5 on the season. With the loss, NJIT fell to 3-19 on the season.

The Jackrabbits came out on a strong 7-0 run to start the game, with two early layups from Andrea Verdegan and Jennifer Warkenthien. A basket by New Jersey's Aine O'Dwyer cut the Jacks lead to five points. But after the bucket, it rained baskets for the Jacks, while the rim had a lid on it for the Highlanders. Using consecutive 3-pointers by Megan Vogel and back to back layups by Abby Kratovil, the Lady Jacks went on 17-0 run mid-way through first half. The half ended 43-10 in favor of the Jacks.

The Jacks used smothering defense, especially on Kelly Crowe, the second highest career point leader for NJIT. She only scored two points, with at least one Jack on her shadow at all times.

Rebounding was another area the Jacks dominated. The Jacks outrebounded the Highlanders 56-30, and nearly doubled the Highlanders' offense rebounds, 20-11. Ketty Cornemann, Morgan Meier and Boever all had seven rebounds, while Vogel grabbed eight boards. Kathryn Wighton had a game-high 12 rebounds for the Highlanders.

Although the rebounds were one-sided, what separated the Jacks from the visitors was putting the basketball in the hoop.

One Jackrabbit fan noted, "You guys (NJIT) are really good at passing." The Highlanders used motion offense effectively, but most of the action was 30-feet away from the hoop. Baskets and assists were difficult for NJIT. The Highlanders shot only 20.7 percent for the game, while the Jacks hit 49.3 percent of their shots. NJIT had only five assists, compared to 23 for SDSU.

Re: NJIT

It's good to see the Collegian doing something different with posting a story right after the event happens. Kimmes is doing a pretty good job there, too bad he is a senior.

It helps that Kimmes is in his second year as Sports Editor. For a couple years, the Collegian was changing sports editors every semester. Hopefully, there will be good continuity next year and the sports coverage will continue to impress.

btw, Kimmes is NOT a journalism major

Perhaps that's one of the secrets of his success.
