The WNIT is 64 teams with 32 auto bids. Having won it last year and the Lady Yotes fan support in the tournament last year should help. The WBI is a 16 team field. Basically both decided on March 13th right after NCAA bids...

I'd be VERY surprised if we don't get a WNIT invite

This may be better for a true end of season type of post but if you combine last years team with this year these are arguably the top players on the roster, not in any particular order.
Seekamp - graduated Hemiller - graduated Stewart - graduated McCloud - graduated A Arens - Sophomore Fogg - Senior Caitlyn Duffy - injured Trimboli - injured
So of the top 8 players 2 of them are playing. That is 4 graduations and 2 injured players from the top 8 of a rotation plus a new coach with a new system. Who overcomes that the way the Coyotes did? Not many programs would be able to have the success that the Yotes did this year.
Based on what I heard initially from Dawn I think she would like to have a deeper team that pushes the tempo a littler more. Better stop now and allow some of this for the true end of the season. This was obviously already known but this just reiterates just what this team had to over come.

I think the freshman ran out of gas quite simply. If they get Duffy and Trimboli back next year, I like our future.

That was a clunker. Again.

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. I would like to know what Russ Rose, Kayla Tetschlag, Aaron Horn, and Alex Antonen were doing during the timeout before we got the shot clock violation. What are they doing on the bench during the game if they aren't planning to help out coach the team?

Allison and Jaycee combined to shoot 3-22 This. We can sugarcoat it and talk about gas and coaching and organization all we want but it's a simple fact in the game of basketball, no matter what level, you will almost never win if your two leading scorers go 3-for-22 from the floor.

Any of you guys think AA lost some confidence in the latter half of the season? Or did our opponents just game-plan her out of games? She never really dominated any games after the loss to State. Maybe she just was in a slump.

I'd guess it was a combination of opponents getting familiar with her and the new system, some fatigue and maybe a little loss of confidence as a result. It was always going to be tough to keep the pace she set over the first half of the season. For anybody. But you could tell that Omaha was making a conscious effort not to let her find body contact around the rim and forcing her to finish shots instead of fouling her and sending her to the line. I don't know, but I would guess that was a conference wide realization through the second half of the season.

I think the end of the season was a combination of a lot of things. They had to play in Frost, and at IUPUI and Western Illinois. That is a damn tough assignment. Having to go on that last road trip took some of the swagger out of the Coyotes. One thing that should also be considered and maybe this doesn't really mean much but I have noticed that the men and women tend to not play their best games when they are coming off of a week off. I don't like that in this league that there are a few one game weeks. When UND comes in the league that should stop I would assume.

This was obviously already known but this just reiterates just what this team had to over come. I still thought that USD would finish 2nd or 3rd in the conference (IUPUI). I didn't see Western Illinois coming. Of course, that was before the injuries to Duffy and Trimboli. I might have to start thinking that some of the other teams in the Summit League like Western, IUPUI, Omaha and Oral Roberts aren't that far behind in WBB. You normally wouldn't think a team that lost as much as USD did would stay up there but I did. I think both SDSU and USD will be better next year. Will IUPUI and Omaha drop back some or will they keep getting better? I do think that Oral Roberts will be better next season, too. I might have SDSU, USD and Western at the top then a drop off before IUPUI, Oral Roberts and Omaha. The other teams might still have some ground to make up. I do think that SDSU's MBB team was in about the same shape as USD's WBB team. Parks- graduated Marshall- graduated Bittle- graduated Moffitt- graduated Daum- Sophomore Reed- Junior Ian- Junior but played less than 1 total of the last 10 games because of injury. That would make 4 1/2 of SDSU's top 7 players are gone and they also added a new coach with a new system. Their coach has never been a head coach before so he might have been feeling his way out for a while (a hopeful thought for a SDSU fan). The one thing about USD"s women is they picked up about where they left off. SDSU's men struggled for the first 3 months of the season but they are playing better now. They were playing fairy ugly basketball and they started 4 different PG's, switched back and forth from zone to man-to-man, etc... USD's injuries hurt them some but even in a "rebuilding year" (partially because of injuries) they are still up there. Will both Duffy and Trimboli both get redshirts for this season? If they do, does USD have enough room on their roster for both of them? I wouldn't think that you would keep 2 scholarships open for a late juco, transfer or something like that. I think most years SDSU keeps one open and Miller might take that one for 2 years from now but unless you can talk somebody out of theirs, it could be tough.

I think most years SDSU keeps one open and Miller might take that one for 2 years from now but unless you can talk somebody out of theirs, it could be tough. Yes and yes. Both will get redshirts, and USD does have room. Right now we are at the 13 scholly limit, but we lose Fogg, B. Arens, and K. Biltoft (5th year VB player). We have 3 frosh coming in. We don't have any room for transfers, and all the players we lose are post players, so it would be nice to get a juco or transfer Center. No one on the roster qualifies as a true "big" but Fogg. Not sure how, but coaches have ways of making things like that happen. Like counting players against previous or subsequent years. At least I've seen that in football. *edit: I just realized we have 4 frosh coming in. Korngable, M. Arens, Kunzer, and Lamb. Maybe someone will have to "move on" or greyshirt. I'd guess it would be a guard. Maybe Trimboli or Severyn.

If someone is the odd player out it is going to be Severyn before it would be Trimboli. I doubt Jasmine is going to stick around just to have her career end plus she is the much more proven asset.
