There have been a lot of great things that have happened since SDSU made the transition to Division I. They are well documented on this board. The level of pride I feel in our programs has never been higher than it is now!
This week may very well hold something very special for Jackrabbits fans. The possibility of a Top 25 Ranking for the Women's Basketball Team. It's still hard for me to quite grasp it but it could, should happen! Not in some subdivision but at the highest level!
Where am I going with this? Well, who knows what the chances of watching a top 25 ranked Jackrabbit team in any sport other than football will be in the future. We have the chance right here, right now and I would encourage anyone who is a fan of basketball to get to Frost Arena and watch these ladies get after it. If things continue, this team will not only make the NCAA tournament but they will be a team that absolutely nobody wants to play. The future of our women's program is extremely bright but who knows if they can continue this kind of pace. Of course, I hope they do but it would be an unrealistic expectation.
If AJ read this he would say we have a lot of season yet and let's not get overconfident. He'd be right. However, there certainly isn't anything wrong with the fans marking a milestone and this one is huge. Who knows how long AJ will be with us? I hope he spends his career at SDSU but I would be excited for him if a higher opportunity arises. He may have no desire to leave. Only he knows. With the start the team has had this year he will no doubt be on the radar for other universities in much bigger conferences. My guess is the more people we put in the stands, the better offer we can make to keep him at home.
All I know is we need to enjoy the moment this week and savor the rest of the season which is certain to be one that no Jackrabbit fan will ever forget! There are 9 chances to see the team in Frost Arena, plus the Summit League Championships in Sioux Falls, and a likely opportunity to watch them in either the NCAA Tournament or the WNIT.
Keep up the great work ladies!
GB, GB, GJ!
