A shot at the Sweet 16: GDT Jackrabbits vs Orange @ Carrier Dome

Re: Sweet 16 GDT: Jackrabbits vs Orange @ Carrier Dome

Craig Mattick said on KWSN that winning the WNIT is a greater feat than reaching the Sweet 16 in the NCAA Tournament. That's when I turned off KWSN. ...

Winning the WNIT was a very good accomplishment, one USD can be proud of. But come on, the goal of most college teams is not to beat the 80th or 90th best team in the nation. It's to play and beat the best teams at their level. Some major colleges don't even want to play in the WNIT or NIT. It's the NCAA or nothing.

Oof.... I agree he’s just trying to stir up a response. That’s just part of the job.

In truth, the Sweet 16 is pretty much the Holy Grail for a mid-major WBB team. The home court aspect plus the normal canyon of difference in talent between the 1-seeds and everyone else make it about impossible to ever get farther. It’s very different than the men’s tournament.

Hopefully we’ll be celebrating finally getting there in about four hours.

Well, maybe the team and coaches shouldn't go on the show until they win a WNIT title.

It wouldn’t surprise me one bit if a player as a graduate looking back on their career said yeah, I’m glad I got to win the Xxxx tourney as a underclassman and experience the excitement of being crowned champions. Assuming then, that they had their chance to experience the Big Dance as many times as possible after that. JMO.

Winning the rebounding battle may determine the game tonight, IMO.

Winning the WNIT is 65th place.

What he also isn't factoring in is the history of the accomplishment. Sure, winning the WNIT is a great accomplishment. But being the first class to ever make the Sweet 16 tops that IMO. Look at how we look at that team that won the first-ever NCAA game, even though the team has won other games in the tournament those women are on a different level.

Sure, it's all about perspective. When I competed for SDSU on the Livestock Judging Team we went to a couple of smaller competitions instead of the bigger ones. Lack of money for travel was some of the factor, but we went to those couple where they had the setup where we excelled at. I don't regret one thing, it was the whole experience looking back. JMPO

If she can get some rest here and there and the team can hang with Syracuse I'm all for it. A rested Macy in the 4th is our best offense

After 1st qtr, Jacks 20, Cuse 23.

First quarter on foreign turf. Collet ourselves, make adjustments. We could be fine.

Oh I get that for sure! Long game but Jacks had a couple tough possessions without her

The zone is killing us right now. Macy needs to be more aggressive offensively.
