[2006/2007 Women's Basketball]

We will have a chance next year also to take on the NCC, so this won't be tha last go round. Hopefully we can finish the league on Top at the very end. But first let's take care of this year. Girls played well at St Paul, but we need to be more consistant inside, we missed way too may easy ones. Could be a good game Wednesday at Bemidji they are improved over the past, and then before the NCC starts one the trip to Seattle one of those teams is ranked so they must be good.

When is your last year to be able to compete in DII for a championship? Is it this year or next?

Great win Sioux! Hope when the year is over you still have that zero in the loss column.

It was a pretty good performance by the Sioux, but we'll need another good performance to win today. Northern is not a bad team at all. I'm hoping that Langen can stay out of foul trouble today, and that Jahner can regain her shooting touch as she's really struggling right now to put the ball in the basket.

It's really a luxury to be able to bring in a player like Kimbrough off the bench! I guarantee that nobody else in dII has a post player with that kind of offensive ability who isn't a starter. Last year, if Ashley was in foul trouble, I was very worried that we would have to completely rely on outside shooting, which could be very streaky. Now, while I want to see Langen in the game as much as possible, Kimbrough is more than capable of picking up the offensive slack.

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.
