Round 2 NCAA GDT: Jackrabbits vs Hokies Cassell Coliseum 4pm CT ESPN2

[jakejc795]

Never apologize for an NCAA win. Heck of a season. For those that think they would do well in the B1G over 20 games it would be ugly. But who cares, that’s why men’s teams like Xavier can excel in the tournament when it’s a one game season. Never ever be in the 8/9 matchup because it’s the worst barring a lightning strike.

It'll be interesting to see how USC/UCLA fare in the B1G

So many chances to make that a tight game. That’s pretty stunning, considering how VT came out shooting. We clearly didn’t have to be perfect, but there’s no room for missed layups.

Keep the perspective though. They just played the #4 team in the country on their sold-out home court. Almost zero teams are winning that game there.

One of these years we have to pull a top-4 seed and bring some Frost magic into play.

i agree and i totally believe WE WILL host ncaa games in frost sooner than later!!!

i really dont think we were bothered by the crowd but i would like to see how they would have played on a neutral or hostile floor. almost all seniors they would probably been fine too

This game was obviously lost in the first half since we won second half but more specifically the last 3 min of the first half. If they can get that game to the half down around 10-12 I would’ve really liked our chances but to beat a team like that and on their home floor no less you can’t shoot 2-15 from 3.

[GoJacks2011]

Lots to say but our seniors are going out as probably the most successful class ever from the state of South Dakota. Nothing to be ashamed of. Today our shots didn’t fall but we fought back and can still compete at the highest level. Next season will look different but the foundation that is there and our talented underclassmen should be able to write new history.

The way the first half ended it would have been easy to just go through the motions in the second. But they fought like hell until the end. If just one of those late 3's would have went down, it may have been a different game.

[LetsGoRabbits]

slow start for us OR fast start for them was one of the big keys

the 3pt line was the other. they made 10 more 3s that is ten more points and we lost by 12

obviously we outplayed them in the second half

we stayed in front of them on the dribble. not sure why the difference?? because they did not shoot the 3 as well?? did anyone make a 3 for them except amoore?

we really had them where we wanted them in the second half

Soule really carried their offense- probably a bit unexpected
every 3 they made in the second half was a dagger!!
and some brutal misses

14 and 14 for Kitley but i really thought we stopped her from having too much impact on the game. she had some big O boards in the first half. besides that we kept her under control

anyone know what attendance was like at the other sites? NOT EVERY school with good WBB puts this kind of crowd in the stands. that said i dont think the crowd had any impact on our girls

[SteelSD]

Missed layups are again our undoing. Frankly outside of Selland no one is leaving this team that came to play in the tourney.

[LetsGoRabbits]

VERY VERY impressive never never quit

really needed the shooting from the arc we had last year. i hope our 3 freshman who scored about 8000 points in high school are ready to put the ball thru the hoop next year. when you struggle to score it puts a lot of pressure on every other part of the game

[jakejc795]

Amoore can go back to Australia any time she wants

[LetsGoRabbits]

Kallie is a defensive wizard!!!!

zero question she is the best defensive player in our league

again today their best player has done very very VERY little when she is in the game


SHOCKING after a long review the other team gets the ball

[jakejc795]

Kitley touched that last

[LetsGoRabbits]

Soule built like plays like a linebacker somehow just got her second foul
