Re: Bracketology 2010 NCAA Women's Tournament

Oh, and don't leave out the cousin of, NBA star Byron Russell, of #21 Thompson from OU. They have the name, Jacks have the game

The same Byron Russell who thought it was a good idea to respond to Michael Jordan's question: "Is it Brian or By-ron?" with another question: "Is it Michael or Michelle?" during the NBA Finals?

I think we all know how that worked out...

Re: Oklahoma!

Just an FYI, single session tickets will be $28 for adults and $18 for students to reflect a $3 processing fee.

Game time is set for an 8:30 p.m. Central Time at the Lloyd Noble Center with television coverage on ESPN2 in South Dakota. All tournament games will be streamed online at ESPN360.com.

The winner will meet the winner of Sunday's earlier game between sixth-seeded Georgia Tech (23-9) and 11th-seeded Arkansas-Little Rock (26-6) on Tuesday, March 23.

Tickets will go on sale at 1 p.m. Tuesday at the Jackrabbit Ticket Office. All orders through the Jackrabbit Ticket Office must be processed by noon Wednesday. Single-session prices are $28 for adults and $18 for students (prices updated to include processing fees). All-session tickets are $46 for adults and $31 for students. All persons, regardless of age, must have a ticket to gain admission.

Re: Oklahoma!

Placed my order for tickets. Priority for season ticket holders. Not sure how many tickets they have total. My understanding, they take your order through tomorrow at 12 noon. First call/order, first chance with the priority for season ticket holders. Again, I don't know how many tickets they gave us. Find out tomorrow who got tickets and how many. Tickets will be distributed at the arena in Oklahoma like last year.

It is a huge arena so there will be plenty of seats the only question is where. Anybody know what they average for attendance?

Re: Oklahoma!

If I am reading their web page correctly, the women's attendance averaged 7945 at home, and the men 10,650

Re: Bracketology 2010 NCAA Women's Tournament

Needless to say that rebounding ,especially keeping them off thier offensive board, will be one of the key factors in winning this game.Also, in regard to pressuring,it's hard to pressure (using your words) a very,very quick team.Not to be a smart a** or anything, just wondering if that might backfire on us?

Sorry no I didn't mean anything by SDSU's standards. What I meant by the statement that they're very very quick is that I heard the commentators mention that their back-guards are the quickest in the Big 12 and possibly the nation. I think just their ellusiveness makes them more challenging for defenders to defend regardless of conference.

When I saw the OKST vs. OK game I saw that they got by a lot of defenders. Hopefully the pressure of SDSU can offset this as in not letting them get into transition like they'd like..... I don't wanna seem like a dumbing down SDSU ability defensively in any way so I hope I don't come off that way.

I think your point is an excellent one. Against Baylor last year we could match them or exceed them in every area except quickness and speed. Their back court players were just plain and simple quicker/faster than ours. I expect we'll see the same situation with Oklahoma. The Baylor game didn't end in our favor for a variety of reasons and one of those reasons was very clearly quickness/speed. If Oklahoma can quicken the pace and we don't shoot well they could run us out of the gym. There is no way around that fact.

So, you play your game, take open shots, knock them down like you know you can and set up your half court defense. They are going to get some breakaways on missed outside shots, don't sweat it. Hit the offensive glass at the right times, make FT's and MINIMIZE the turnovers. Play like we did during the middle of the ORU game and we can beat Oklahoma. Going to take our best effort of the year, I'm confident we can give that.

Re: Oklahoma!

I really like this matchup...it's giving me the same feeling I had against Baylor last year, it's gonna be a close fight. Oklahoma will underestimate us, how can they not? They will be too busy thinking about their rematch with Nebraska. Every year the women keep on adding to their reputation. Nebraska and Iowa State would not overlook SDSU, so I'm glad they aren't playing. I think this is a great matchup. Although I will Captain Obvious one item: We cannot turn the BALL OVER!!!!!!!!
(Also whoever came up with the term "Horn-frogged", I like it.)

Re: Oklahoma!

ESPN interviewed the top 25 coaches today. When they talked to Oklahoma's coach, they did not even mention us. All they talked about was the later round games. It is safe to say they are overlooking us.

Re: Oklahoma!

Two years in a row SDSU plays the same time slot as Iowa St. That means no SDSU for regional coverage. Saw very little of the SDSU games last year.

Re: Oklahoma!

The game is on ESPN2 in South Dakota. Last year it was too. I saw the whole first game. ESPN will show one game in Standard Def while showing the national game in HD.

Wow. All the players and coach's can talk about is going to KC after playing in Norman. I would like nother better than to knock them out in the first round. Time to focus ladies and put a few games together. Thumped OK state a couple of years ago and recenlty beat another team from the state of OK - I think they came from Tulsa! May as well add OK to our list.
