As noted, many people get “anonymous keyboard courage”, and feel they can make comments about the players just because. They need to realize, these young ladies are somebody’s sister. Somebody’s daughter. Somebody’s granddaughter. Would you want your loved ones treated this way? As a parent of...

I am excited to see Janay get some more meaningful minutes. She has a lot of spunk and drive. As the season has progressed, she’s gotten better at dishing the ball sooner, and then rolling to the basket and getting open. And her on-ball defense is really good. She definitely makes a difference...

Yes it does. For a secondary defender, you have to be outside the circle. With the primary defender, in men’s or women’s basketball, the circle does not matter as long as you are set.

In their defense, most of the Utah team were suffering from food poisoning the night before the game. (According to Social Media). Including the coach.

In response to an earlier question, if a player plays both basketball and volleyball, and is on scholarship, it has to be a basketball scholarship. It’s an NCAA scholarship rule, unless it changed in the last 7 years.

The coach did mention that they are hoping she will be able to rejoin the team at a later date this season. So I’m guessing that her athletic scholarship is still covered this year. When my daughter played, you were not allowed to have an academic scholarship or other local scholarship if you...

I can honestly say I knew she was special and the right hire, all along! My daughter benefited from her coaching for 5 years, both on the court and in life, and is still reaping those benefits.

The game is showing on the ESPN streaming schedule for tonight. I think being able to watch it depends on whether or not your cable contract includes the SEC Network.

Many games are scheduled a year out, because they are home and homes. The buy games are different. For the new match ups, coaches start working / networking in November and December, sometimes talking to other coaches when they are at holiday tournaments, or watching how teams perform against...

This is not true. These games were added within a day or two after the new staff was signed, but they were added by the administration, not the coaches.

I disagree, I think we play our game plan. If they are playing five out, maybe their post is not as good coming inside to defend. And Sophie has shown huge improvement on moving to defend outside and to adjust to the switches.

We spent some time talking to her dad after Sunday’s game. Such a nice guy, and very knowledgeable about the game, but also such an encouraging #girldad.

It was a fun game to be at. I really enjoyed watching Sophie go to work, calling for the ball, pivoting, and putting it up mor often. And today they actually threw it TO her, rather than at her feet. The guards have to adjust to her height, but I feel that as a season goes on and they get more...

I do like how the players are moving without the ball, getting open. It’s better than what we saw last year.

NDSU is really good at doing that switch to make the Post/Center stuck on Heaven Hamling on the perimeter. I can’t tell you how many times it happened to the South Dakota team. But the players adjusted and were able to switch back.

We only faced them in the tournament one time with Collins as the coach. In her six years at South Dakota, she only lost to NDSU once, in her first year.

I think we have a big help in that Coach P has coached against Jory Collins for three years while in the Summit League. We played / defeated NDSU in each regular season twice, and then in the Summit League Tournament one of the three years, so she is very familiar with his coaching style. You...

We have been very impressed with Sanders. She is athletic, has a nose for the ball on both ends of the floor, and looks to pass to her teammates. I think she is playing more consistently than Battle.

I’m pretty sure Brooke Jensen from Vermillion is committed to Augustana. D2.

That article was very well written, and 100% true. It doesn’t matter who you are, if you do not play defense or follow her game plan, you will sit on the bench. Looking forward to a fun season!
