Today at 2PM USD renews the rivalry with UND. This game will be broadcast on Fox Sports North, so anyone with any kind of cable subscription in the area should have the opportunity to tune in to this one.
UND does not look to be up to the level they were in years prior, but they are 4-5 with three wins over Summit League teams (UNO, NDSU, WIU) and a UNI team that torched us when we were without Seekamp. This is a game I enjoy seeing on our schedule and would like to see the men add it to theirs. This is the third year in a row that the women are playing UND and I should think that they will make a return trip to Vermillion next year as well. If this were a permanent fixture on our basketball schedule I would have no complaints, but I would have a few laughs over their team name every time.

When was the last game? It'll be one of the games I'm going to be following today. I think USD will win comfortably.

I am predicting a tough game this afternoon. UND is still a solid team and they have home court this time. Why is it that the men and women play at the same time so often lately?
I am going to predict a hard fought 82-79 win in this one but I would not be surprised if UND came out on top. Hopefully the power of the USD Women will show through and this will be a double digit win. I can't help but go back to last year how tough UND played the Coyotes at the dome.

Will Duffy be playing today? She was in a walking boot on Thursday but I haven't heard anything on the severity of the injury.

35-24 Coyotes at the half. Duffy is not playing. Impressive defensive effort causing at least 14 UND first half turnovers. The Yotes are swarming all over the ball. Quite honestly UND is lucky to be this close at halftime. If the Yotes were having an average day shooting they would be up 20. Not impressed with UND at all as I gave them entirely too much credit, but there is one half yet to go.

Coyotes win 73-70 in a hard fought battle. This is a good win today as I thought any win would be a good win in this game. The Coyotes didn't have as big of a lead at half as I would have liked considering how well they played. It almost cost them the game that they didn't have a bigger margin. Luckily after the Fighting Hawks made their run USD played better when it mattered most down the stretch. I though McCloud was a big factor inside today, and Seekamp, well she is Seekamp. Amy Williams is a spark plug on the bench. She stands up for her players and did end up getting T'd up. She just will not allow the Coyotes to get the short end of the stick. I like that about her that she has the backs of her players. Composure it what this team is all about and they showed it today. Good defensive effort today.
