HC Jamie Carey begins her head coaching in Omaha as the preseason 8th place team. Carey played for Stanford & Texas in college and Connecticut Sun in the WNBA. She has been involved in basketball most of her life. She is still looking for her team's first D1 win. She has lost a key player in Cora Olsen to injury. 5 of the 8 in regular rotation will be freshman with one sophomore added. There will be 2 6'+ players found in the rotation. The Jackrabbits could be adding Thul back to the rotation today. Vasecka should get in better game shape today as well. Omaha averages 56 ppg. I expect the Jackrabbit defense work to keep that score lower if AJ was serious about the postgame comments for the Tommies. 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 -
10-4 Omaha @ first media timeout. Brad Peterson notes this might be the earliest Dunn has entered the game to spell Meyer. 7 or 8-0 Omaha run to go along with SDSU's 5 turnovers.Comment

Five minutes of extremely sloppy basketball by the Jacks. Five turnovers.Comment

The fact that we are trailing at all in this game is honestly quite disappointing.Comment

The Bison have their faults. But at this time they look like the hungrier/best team in the Summit.Comment

It's going to be disappointing if they don't come out of the locker room playing like their hair is on fire.Comment

We are going to set a record for jump balls.Comment

postgame AJ said team came out flat and gave up offensive rebounds, loose balls team didn't even dive for, Omaha beating the team on straight line drives. mentioned the great effort plays in the second half that the "team hadn't got in a while" -> o boards, diving for loose balls, deflections, turnovers that were forced ".. that got better as the game went on"
mentioned it being another game where the team didn't shoot well and said the wide open 3's that don't go in can be a bit deflating and let Omaha hang in there. Said two games in a row but doesn't think it's worth hitting the panic button.
he liked that the team turned a "little bit of a corner.." in the 2nd half with the defensive intensity -> forcing turnovers, getting down the floor, rebounding better
"I think since Christmas we've been flat. We have not been the same basketball team that we were in November and December, that's for sure. You know, for stretches in games, I can say that we have but not consistently. Not consistently in practice, consistently in games, so that's just going to be something we'll have to get better with, and I think we will."
said first 8 minutes were hard to watch - said Omaha guarded the team how everyone else does - stand by Brooklyn come and double from the backside
"We have to look at our plan, maybe it is getting too easy and we have to adjust a little bit, but we were just so slow and unresponsive in our decision making that it was just tough."
mentioned katie still working back, Hadley practiced yesterday but had been out for 4 days. Shortened up rotations in second half to create rhythm for some players which helpedComment
