GDT: Jackrabbits vs Pioneers 7pm Hamilton Gym SLN

[OldHare]

Under 4th year HC Woods the Pios are 4-9 in conference. They will shoot many 3pt shots as 45% of all shots are behind the line. They average 31.4% on those shots. There are 4 starters that are double figure scorers. The Jackrabbits will need to endure the altitude today. This is the only game Denver has this week so they will have 1 chance for a win. Denver is floating from 6 seed to a potential 9 seed. Jackrabbits should handle Pios on their court. Go Jacks!!

Here is a clip of the Denver crowd for the WBB. The other 200 must be sitting on the closer side.

They were definitely right to move basketball out of their hockey arena and to a smaller gymnasium. That being said the video quality was clear.

The post-game interview with HC Woods said she was measuring the single digit loss as significant. It was the only game to be added to the bison victory that was single digits. Woods is 36-74 into her 4th year with only 4 conference wins this season. 1-3 years may be her shelf life in Denver without some success. Rodney Billups was given 5 years at Denver for the men's team. Denver is currently the 7 seed with a chance of the 6th seed with a road trip to KC & home game with the Tommies.

That concave camera shot from the top of the backboard that they use on free throws got to be really annoying.

The lady that was play by play was not on the ball. She was calling fouls on wrong players. She had no solid idea where Vlastuin might be but she knew that she had the lead for 3pt makes until Mathiowetz passed her. Denver is not getting any ad dollars for the SLN as the camera just gave that favorite end court look in timeouts. In her defense, it sounded like she may have a partner other times. She did have good interviews with the coaches before and after the game.
