First year HC Eighmy has the yotes at 3-3. They are on a 2 game losing streak after playing UND & NDSU. Larkins is the lead player as she is clocking 38.5 minutes/game in conference play. She is the leading player with 29ppg, 11.7 rpg, & 5+ apg in conference play. Larkins will be the main event for the yotes. The yotes normally have trouble getting their share of rebounds with 9.7 deficit on the boards in conference. The rivalry game should bring a crowd to Vermillion. There were plenty of tickets available yesterday. The Jackrabbits should be prepared for the Larkins attack. Go Jacks!!

Best to remember these are kids and they are doing everything they can to entertain us, be scholars, and all in all be great humans. Jackedforlife -
There will be more blue than red in the crowd. -
The area behind the visitor bench is sold out. It will be a quick trip to get back for the men.Originally posted by salemjack View PostBest to remember these are kids and they are doing everything they can to entertain us, be scholars, and all in all be great humans. JackedforlifeComment

What student section? No one comes to their games down thereOriginally posted by 98Jackfarmer View PostComment

I think there is a small section immediately behind bench for visitors. Seems like asking for trouble if there ever would be a packed houseOriginally posted by 98Jackfarmer View PostComment

Agreed, especially in a rivalry game. My guess is they moved it to make things look better on tv with people sitting behind benches. I’ve heard attendance this year down there has hit a low point. They still report numbers that are multiple times higher than people in the stands of course.Originally posted by jakejc795 View Post
As far as the game, they’ve really struggled this year under the new coaching staff. Larkins is putting up crazy numbers but having to take a lot of shots to do so. Not much production at all around her. They will struggle against our size.Comment

It will be interesting to see how USD approaches this game. On offense they like to run 5 out and let Larkins get downhill. Their secondary option on offense is to run 5 out and let Larkins get downhill and then kick it out…. They don’t even try to rebound on offense and want to get back and set up on defense.
Defensively they are undersized and can be abused down low. Against NDSU they ran mainly MtM but shifted to zone when Larkins was in foul trouble. I could see them packing in a zone if Brooklyn starts to get cooking against them.
Overall it seems like a really positive matchup for us. Get Larkins into foul trouble and they have no chance. I would like to see Vasecka keep cooking and getting more confidence in being a go to offense player. But feed the posts and kick out for 3’s if they crash a double team.Comment

We have enough guard depth this season to be able to run fresh players guarding Larkins and hopefully really make her work to get her points. They have no answer for our posts.Originally posted by SteelSD View PostComment

12:05 AJ responding to Grace question. sounds like question is from Jay Eisen from Midco. The follow-up is interesting at the 13:18 mark. Is it as simple as stop her and win the game?
21 Michigan State v 24 Michigan (for UM 3 of the 4 players they have scoring 10+ ppg are freshmen) use an adblock
Creighton also plays UConn today

Every time I see their arena I am amazed how they designed it. I think it holds 6,000 with a student section that looks like it could satisfy the Duke Blue Devils.Originally posted by salemjack View PostComment

Judging by the views on tv, might be the smallest crowd I've ever seen in this rivalry. Very empty appearing. Couple rows of student behind our bench but nothing big.Comment

USD should be fortunate we didn’t hit as many 3’s as we should have. The rebounding is going to be very lopsided.Comment

The bad thing about a ball dominant player like Larkins is a lot of standing around by everyone else.Comment
