I was really impressed with the Sioux women when they played in Aberdeen earlier in the year. I have never seen a womens basketball team pass the ball the way they can. Their bench could start for most teams - such quality depth. They're a double edged sword - shut down the inside game and they will kill you from the outside - guard em tight on the outside and they'll kill you underneath. The wolves were able to play with them for a while until the outside shooters warmed up, then it was game over. The only way someone is going to beat the Sioux this year is if they are ice cold from the perimeter for the whole game.
I think we may stay in the game as long as our starters remain fresh but after that it could get away (we don't have much depth). I'm predicting a fairly close game for 25-30 minutes and the Sioux pulling away to a 14-18 point win. The Huskies should then beat CSP rather easily setting up a rematch of last years final. The Sioux will get sweet revenge!
PS. Please go D1! We are going to have a decent team the next few years but with your young girls on the bench and good recruits coming in its going to be a tough time for any team to come through this region as long as UND is in it.
