Re: Indiana - Game Thread

Admission dept using game for recruiting students. My senior daughter who is going to SDSU next year received an e-mail from admissions to "Back the Jacks" and informed them of the webcast and radio coverage. Nice, colorful promotion. An event like this does more for the school than just athletics.

[quote author=filbert link=1174351918/75#89 date=1174500045]Mr. Bluehatman needs to find a free web hosting site to put this stuff up himself (as well as pay for the shareware he's using to create the pdf file ), but just this once, here's his little samizdat called the Rabbit Den Reader for the Indiana game (pdf).

What can I say. Poor college student can't afford to buy software to make distribution of rabbit den readers easier. I gave it my best shot.[/quote]
Dude, download OpenOffice . . . it's a MS-Office clone, and will create .pdf files without the nasty shareware beg/whine message at the bottom. It's on the huge side, however, but well worth the (free) price . . .

I'd volunteer to help you with the Fanaddicts/Den Reader site, but I think Snookums would kill me daid if I took on another computer-related obligation . . .

ok, let's try this link for a decent copy of the rabbit den readers. I think I found some better FREE software with nothing covered up in the Dens.

I've got one for sale! My wife had to go on a business trip, and I had made two for the Illinois State game for us. Of course I have to keep the one, but probably won't go two-fisted to the game!! GO JACKS!!!!

Depth could hurt Indiana
Hoosiers only have 7 players on roster entering 3rd-round battle

By Terry Vandrovec

Published: March 22, 2007

BROOKINGS - There were so many unknowns in South Dakota State's WNIT opener: the first playoff experience for every player except one, the state's first NCAA Division I postseason contest, the first meeting with a top 100 program in two months, the first game action in two weeks, the first single-game, sellout crowd.

Sure, experience is helpful, but in tonight's third-round WNIT contest against Indiana, the Jackrabbits - the reigning academic national champs - will have to guard against thinking they know it all.

"I think the second game in a tournament is always the hardest," SDSU coach Aaron Johnston said. "Because there's always that level of anxiety in the first game; you almost scare yourself into playing well, and in the second game - if you have success - it's so easy to take a deep breath and relax. In reality, every game gets harder. The teams you play at this point are winning and moving forward."

Despite an alarmingly short roster, Indiana (19-13), the first Big Ten team to visit sold-out Frost Arena since the 1975-76 season, is one of them. So while the Jacks (24-5) may try to exploit that lack of depth, they won't get too worked up about it.

"The sensational seven," first-year Hoosiers coach Felisha Legette-Jack calls what is left of her team. One returning player chose not to rejoin the club at the beginning of the season and four more have been lost along the way - the most recent following the Big Ten tournament - for reasons ranging from injury to academic issues. In Monday's second-round game against Iona, six of the seven remaining bodies, including 6-foot-7 third-team all-Big Ten center Sarah McKay, played more than 25 minutes.

The situation has cut down on laundry and travel costs, but it hasn't affected Indiana's style. Offensively, the Hoosiers - who reached the WNIT quarterfinals last season - are ultra-aggressive, as Johnston put it, both in shot selection and getting to the rim. On the other end, they're downright disruptive, utilizing an amoeba defense, a unique match-up zone scheme. . . . (read more)

Jacks reserve has Hoosier heritage
Meier's father, Todd, played on Indiana's 1987 national championship team

Published: March 22, 2007

BROOKINGS - The people of Indiana are connected to Indiana University basketball on an almost biological level. The program is both in their veins and on their brains, Morgan Meier said. And she knows better than most.

The South Dakota State guard/forward, a Bloomington, Ind., native, was literally born into Hoosier hoops. Her dad, Todd Meier, was a 6-foot-8 reserve senior on the Indiana team that won the 1987 NCAA Division I men's national championship. She was about four months old at the time.

"I don't remember anything," said Meier, a 5-10 sophomore sub for the Jackrabbits, who host Indiana tonight in the third round of the WNIT, "but a lot of people do." . . . (read more)

6-foot-7 Hoosier awaits Grimsrud

By John Papendick
American News Sports Editor

South Dakota State University women's basketball post player Courtney Grimsrud and her teammates have a tall job order to deal with at 7 tonight in Brookings.

The 6-foot-2 junior from Sisseton and the Jacks will attempt to match up with Indiana University senior Sarah McKay.

McKay is 6-foot-7.

In Division I basketball, however, the Jackrabbits find themselves as the shorter team many times. So tonight is not that much different for Grimsrud and her teammates as they prepare for the Hoosiers. Both Grimsrud and McKay are prolific shot-blockers.

It promises to be a big night at Frost Arena as South Dakota State (24-5) will host the third-round Women's National Invitational Tournament basketball game against the Indiana Hoosiers (19-13). SDSU, in conjunction with South Dakota Public Broadcasting, will provide a free video Webcast of tonight's game, which is sold out. . . . (read more)
