I'm not expecting 91-56 like a couple weeks ago. But a hope for a solid win.

first SLT for many of the girls. Hopefully not a factor, but the game today could be closer than we would like.

We played them very well in Vermillion but we struggled a lot against them down in Omaha earlier. Omaha led and had control of most of the game and fortunately we were able to put some nice plays together mid way through the fourth quarter to pull off a win. I think we'll win today but we're going to have to play some of our best basketball to do it.

IMHO Yotes way too deliberate, predictable and not aggressive enough on offense. I hate always running the shot clock down--giving the opponents D a chance to get all matched up! Our D, as has been the case some this year, left a lot of 3 point shooters unchallenged knowing Omaha is a 3 pt shooting team. Give Omaha credit after the blowout in the SCSC to not give up.
There's little good news right now but the Lady Yotes should still be in the post season with their record. Would have a chance to end the season on a more positive note. If in will need to show a lot of grit and resolve!! GO YOTES!!!

Stat of the day: 4/26 from 3
Team looked so unorganized today. See our play out of a timeout with 8 on the shot clock. Played our worst basketball to end the season. Not good.

Dawn has been so good and has really done well considering the circumstances but I think this one was on her today. It didn't help that the Coyote fans just can't seem to cheer for more then about 30-60 seconds at a time. The girls really needed the support and the crowd could have willed them to win IMO. Just didn't happen today and the team kind of ran out of gas at the end of the season. They played two of their worst games of the season in the last 3. The team really over achieved for most of the year but the fact is the bar was raised and they really didn't live up to that bar in the end.
Ya just can't lose this game to a team that the Coyotes are clearly better than and in an environment that should have even helped the cause some more. I really hope Western Illinois wins the tourney and they will really have an advantage now playing Omaha instead of USD and then getting what could be a tired Jacks team in the final but the way things are going in this tourney nothing can be taken for granted.

If in will need to show a lot of grit and resolve!! GO YOTES!!! I hope we are selected in the WNIT. We have now lost our last 3 games, so I'm not sure what our chances are there now. The seniors deserve another shot at a postseason tournament, and I hope they get one.

Unfortunately, I think this season is over.

The seniors deserve another shot at a postseason tournament, and I hope they get one. I was thinking of the post season as I was walking out of the arena today. I cannot say with a straight face that competitively the Coyotes deserve a WNIT birth with the way the season ended but what happened last year with the crowds that USD drew will be on the minds of the committee that makes the selections of teams. It wouldn't surprise me either way. One thing I will never understand is why a school would ever turn down a post season birth even if it was something like the WBI or whatever it is called. Any opportunity to play is an opportunity to get better and the Coyotes should always welcome that opportunity.

I would say we are definitely playing at least one more game, and I would guess it's in the NIT unless they don't want to invite 3 teams from the Summit. No way we aren't in the postseason. Even in 2013 we went to the WBI with a 17-15 record.

I forgot bout the WBI, I guess we will see. Disappointing to lose in the first round.

I came into the tourney thinking we had one NCAA qualifier and 3 WNIT teams and don't think that should change even with your early out. I would think your success last year and quality season should still get you in. Would be kind of a screw job in my eyes if you didn't.
