Not to be nit-picky, but I thought the team looked a bit sluggish against WIU (Seekamp included). Which leads to my observation about Saturday's game - the rabbits are beating teams consistently by 20, which is very hard to do. But the Yotes are beating those same teams by 30 (even on off nights), which is crazy hard/UCONN-esqe. I had predicted earlier a 27 point rout, but after seeing the slow start with WIU, a more reasonable mind has beset me. The Yotes will still win, but likely only by 24. 24 point win on Saturday huh? I'm going to hold you to that prediction. Well, the trend is down. It may get all the way down to 22 points by tip-off

I wish I could share the optimism some of you have towards this game. These will be two very good and evenly matched teams playing Saturday. As such, it doesn't take much margin for error (hot/cold shooting or turnovers) to swing this game one way or the other. I certainly know the ladies are capable of winning the game on Saturday but I also know there will most likely be nothing easy about it. I see it as an under 10 point game either way with scoring most likely in the 60's.

It's a good problem to have when you can look sluggish and still win by 36 points

I was comparing the posts to the rest of the team. USD's top 4 scorers are not your post players. They can post up but they aren't the 3 players that you named. McCloud and Liveringhouse can put up points (they are 5th and 6th on the team in scoring) but they average 14.5 points/game together. If your team didn't have two or so of your top four scorers, your post players would probably step up and score more but they just don't get as many shots because of all of the other weapons that you have. SDSU's post players are 3rd, 5th and 6th on their team in scoring. All three of them have hit a few 3-pointers on the season but most of their work is done down low(minus Boever some but she is 5'9"). There is only one player that is in the top four at either school that is a "post" player. There are probably games when all four (two for each team) of the top post players have lead their team in scoring but it just doesn't happen very consistently. SDSU will probably have a post player or two on the all conference team but I think most people look more at both teams guards. With all of the players that both teams play it is tough to get the stats to receive all-conference awards but both teams will have several players on those teams anyway just because they are head and shoulders better than the other teams. That is what makes it interesting about Seekamp, will she be the conference "Player of the Year". She probably will be because she is the best player on the team that is either 1 or 1a. Miller isn't far behind. They both will probably be in the top 5. Seekamp plays at a different level than Miller. She's a good ball player but it's not that close. Nice try. Seekamp is a 5th year senior, Miller is a true sophomore. Miller will get there. She has shown glimpses.

Relax everyone. No one - not even rabbit fans - are truly suggesting Miller over Seekamp. A more fun conversation, and a true theoretical one, is 'Sophomore Seekamp' vs. 'Right Now Miller'. Go ahead - come out swinging...

Go ahead - come out swinging... Because you insisted "Right Now" Miller: PPG- 15.7 FG%- 46% 3P%- 34% RPG- 4.5 APG- 2.8 A/TO- 1.9 "Sophomore" Seekamp: PPG- 15.5 FG%- 38% 3P%- 32% RPG- 4.0 APG- 3.8 A/TO- 1.6

I cannot think of anyone I have seen on the court this year-men or women-that can make the passes Seekamp makes. She also has the leadership spark that will be missed next year. She makes the rest of the team better. She is the key that made the success of this senior laden team.

Predicting a Coyote win by 20 plus is on the really, really optimistic side. If both teams were offensive oriented I could see it but the Jacks are going to bring their defense and even if the Yotes play well it will be tough to get too much above 70 points. I think I am being optimistic picking a 13 point Coyotes win but this 24 point win stuff is very unlikely to happen. When I say the Coyotes should be the clear favorites that does not mean I think they will win in a blowout.
As far as the Miller vs Seekamp comparison I don't really see it and not just who is the better player. They seem to do different things well. Miller is probably more athletic but even if she improves it will still be hard to equal Seekamp's scoring touch, passing ability and just general basketball IQ. Seekamp is lethal when she has an open jumper. She is one of the smartest players I have seen play. If Seekamp was really athletic she would be a top 10 WNBA draft pick. The only thing that will keep her out of the WNBA is a lack of athletisism compared to the kind of athletes in that league. She is just fine athletically in the Summit but in the big league that will be what keeps her out if anything does. Seekamp is USD's Wolters. Great college player, probably not so much in the (W)NBA. I hope that Seekamp does make it at the highest level.

Miller is really good, Seekamp is unbelievably great. Going to be a great day for South Dakota. Both deserve to make the big dance!

25-18 Coyotes. Fogg is taking over the game and leading the Coyotes on what is now a 13-0 run. The Jacks had a 9-0 run after an early deficit. All the calls were going the Jacks way for awhile but now all the calls are going in favor of the Yotes. Good overall intensity from both teams but the difference so far is the Coyotes ability to score. Both teams playing good defense.
