Congrats to Kimbrough on the All-Indpendant honor...and to the other THREE whom were honorable mentions...I think we especially owe Danye and Kierah our thanks for using thier talents to start us off in this venture...considering Mankato is heading for the Elite 8 and Seattle Pacific was 1 game away..Ball State is in the big dance......Thank you...I know everyone is crazy about the hockey team..and good for them too, but for all of the other sports (we had 2 men on the honorable mention team!) hang in there...hopefully we will be in a legit conference soon. Great last blog tho...makes me proud to be a FIGHTING SIOUX fan!!! KK's Blog

USD played North Carolina today in Chapel Hill. Pretty impressive showing by USD. USD vs NC Would have been nice if UND could have arranged something like that. Not sure how they got that scheduled with conference tournaments going on but a nice way for those 5 seniors to end their seasons...Spring Thaw was ok, but Chapel Hill?

Kudos to the Bison men. Hope you make like Cinderella and dance well past midnight!! Best of Luck! What a way to make the most of your first year of eligibility.

My congratulations to her too. What a tremendous career! It has been a pleasure watching her and the entire Sioux team. The 2 seniors will be greatly missed. Congrats to the women also finishing the year strong with a tournament victory and going undefeated at home. All in all a great transiton year and thanks for all of your dedication and hard work...GO SIOUX!!

The ladies are playing some good basketball shorthanded. Nice game for Kimbrough. We will really miss her and Guinn. I know they are having a tournament next weekend, and it's no use to think "if only", but I noticed on a D-II site that Mankato State is ranked #1 in the nation and Seattle-Pacific is in the top 10. I really think we would have had a great chance of making it to the elite 8, it really makes it hard to get excited about the next few years. I can only imagine how it is for the athletes, especially the seniors. I hope they make the tournament special for the players AND the fans. I realize that if we are making the change it has to happen at some time...I'm just not sure it was the right decision for ALL of the sports.

I'll be there. I cannot believe the lack of in put on this thread. The WBB team has given us much to cheer about. Everyone get out and support them. Go Sioux !

I guess a win is a win. Good job on the road!

9:44 to go, Sioux up by 21

Did that answer your question?

Welcome back Travis...this is tremendous news for the womens program!!

Because we can spell???

Good luck to the Lady Coyotes today! I think they have a National Championship very well in hand. For the young women on the team and for a first-rate classy coach, I wish them the best. I am also looking forward to next season as at least we get a chance to play a possibly defending D-II championship team. Twice I hope. Hopefully it will help with scheduling and we do have a nice rivalry going so it something close to home to look forward to. It is also sad to see the end of the NCC, what better way to go out for a historically successful conference!

I too extend my congratulations to Kimbrough & Langen. Sadly, this will probably be the last All-Americans for some time to come for our program. I'm quite sure if were remaining D-II, we'd have at least one agin next year, but maybe that makes these even more special. Good luck next season Ladies. I think we can still prove how special this program is.

In what could be considered another upset, Alaska-Anchorage beats undefeated Seattle-Pacific to go to the Elite Eight. Congrats to the Coyotes. They started off a little cold, but poured it on in the end. Kimbrough named to the 5 member Regional Tournament team. Pretty remarkable as UND lost in the quarterfinals. Congrats to her too.

I too was very let down with the Sioux loss to Wayne State. Although I do agree with some comments here, some of them are ridiculous, bordering on mean. The fake tan/jersey fitting comment is ridiculous. What does that mean? Jerseys get untucked when people grab them and refs tell you to tuck them back in. The tan comment is just stupid. How do we know what goes on in practice/huddles or even their lives for that matter. Is there a problems with team relations or parents getting along? We are upset by the talent of our bench, but we shouldn't hold a coach accountable? Is the coach not responsible for recruiting such talent (or non-talent?) IMO it is a coach's responsibilty to motivate a team or settle a team down as well as guide them. Are you implying the team doesn't listen? I can't see Roebuck putting up with that. I do think that eventhough a coach doesn't play, he calls the shots. our lack of playing zone has killed us for years...that's not the players choice. We think the team choked and are upset by that. Do any of you watch sports on a regular basis? Upsets or "chokes" happen all of the time. it's March maddness, you'll probably hear of one or more a day for the next 2 weeks. It is not just UND suffering from this. We played a horrible game at the worst possible time. Tournament time. That's sports. To say that a team who sacraficed an ENTIRE year to work for it didn't care is insulting. I don't know what goes on in practice, etc, but to say they lack work ethic, unless you have info to the contrary, is odd to me. This was the last chance to play for something for a long time for ALL of these girls, not just the seniors. I would say they probably wanted this pretty bad. The team we have left will have a tough road and I would hope we will cheer for them and support them. I agree that some of our players did not play up to their ability, but I don't think it is because they didn't care. There were some bright spots. Kimbrough's play especially. It will be interesting to see how she does at a higher level. She had great tournament play. I thought Beck played well too. I thought Bergan played well off the bench. We will need some good recruits, guards and some help inside, but that will be hard with our situation. I hope this board doesn't turn into a bash-fest for these young women who are really sacraficing a chance to play for anything to bring UND through the transition. Congrats on a good year and I'll be cheering you on next year!
