Not sure why we didn't have ALL 3-pt shooters in at the end when we were down 3??? Maybe even run a play with more than one option??

Wake up BisonDan! The gates will the same anyway? Come on, it would be standing room only! You and Gene Taylor must be in cahoots.

Football may be a bit more complicated, but there is no doubt that both the Men's and Women's basketball teams should be playing each other.

Just look at last night. USD is behind 28-27 at the half with there "Big Three" combining for 2 points. Fortunately, Shannon Daly, who doesn't usually score a whole lot, puts in 15 points in the first half to hold them in it until the floodgates opened up in the second half for USD. So, to me, USD was tight and we've seen that before here. As a coach, it's hard to find which button to push to relieve that pressure that players put on themselves. I think that day off in-between the semi-final and final adds to the problem because there is more time to think about it. Two years ago, as deep as we were, we were better off playing 3 days in a row and not letting St. Cloud rest because they weren't nearly as deep as us. But, that's the way the schedule was/is and you have to live with it.

The UND women work extremely hard all year long and sometimes in big games I think they want it too much and it interferes with their ability to perform. Granted, sometimes coaches can add to that pressure with a "short leash". The other factor that people are forgetting is the absence of Bagaason. She would have helped this squad a lot.
