For The Championship: Oakland vs. SDSU Game Thread

Re: For The Championship: Oakland vs. SDSU Game Thread

We talked for a long while with a couple of OU players' parents . . . as far as I'm concerned, OU should be going to the NCAA tournament, too, along with SDSU--I think they're that good. We just need to get the rest of the schools to raise the level of their WBB programs so that they don't absolutely kill our RPI once we get in conference.

Agree 100%. In all honesty, save for SDSU and Oakland, the Summit has been pretty disappointing. I expected NDSU to be more competitive and to a lesser extent, Oral Roberts.
Those IUABCXYZ's can play a little too, they need some more consistency.

Hopefully the Summit will improve next year, and continue to improve as the best mid-major conference in the biz. I think 2 tourney teams and 1 WNIT team is a reasonable goal each year.

I am expecting NDSU to be pretty tough next year. Lots of people coming back, hopefully they can avoid injuries.

Well, it should be on my DirecTV DVR back home . . . at least all but the last minute or two . . . not that it helps YOU very much . . .

Ya know, typically that comment would earn a smarmy statement but today... yep you're right lol


About NDSU... they were #3 in the league this year with half a team and a first year coach... I think their top 2? 3? players were out for the season because of injuries... they will be good next year.

As the team was celebrating, AJ was just outside the group, savoring the moment.

Quote from AJ:

We talk about what a special place Frost (Arena) is. But Frost is a building. Frost is a special place because of the people that come to that building to watch teams play. Fans come out to watch basketball, but a lot of people come out to watch these great women compete and what they’ve done for SDSU

Looks like a full transcript of the press conference here:

Interesting quote from Beckie Francis here:

After the game I told the team, let’s just run through the WNIT like South Dakota State did two years ago.

Hopefully, we'll be tougher next year to give you girls a test. We have what we think is a great recruiting class coming in, should be fun. Good luck in the dance, sweet 16 or bust. GO BUNNIES!

Re: For The Championship: Oakland vs. SDSU Game Thread

the charges on Wark were totally bs. she was backing in and the ou player would fall down

Worst calls I have seen in a while. All she did was make an aggressive turn to the bucket.....no idea how you can call that a charge once let alone twice!

Speaking of storming the court anyone see the NDSU fans nearly Kill Woodside last night?

They grab him on the run in celebration and promptly fall over....Woodside on the bottom.

There needs to be a rule about that....fine the institutions or something to get them to stop before someone get hurt. A couple weeks ago Duke the #6 team in the country lost a conference road game to Boston College. The fans stormed the court.

Hey idiots they were rated #6, not #1 and it was a conference road game. The win wasn't earth shattering enough to storm the court. It's beginning to happen too much.

I wasn't very nice after a couple of those calls. The ref with the short blond hair was sitting a couple rows ahead of us. I might have made a comment that even the blond haired ref would have got that call right. My bad. The Oakland player looked to have taken a flop class from Shaq, that's how bad the flops were.

Yes, that was lame. They were grabbing at his face, too. Very weird reaction to winning: Try to tear your star player into small pieces.

I put in a request for them to put the replay up and they sent back an e-mail saying the schedule was there. I responded asking again for them to put the replay up.
