Iowa scores with 26 seconds left 74-70. Looks like the officials may have missed a travel before the last bucket.
Gotta score on this possession or the season is probably over.

Duffy got hammered driving to the hoop by 3 Iowa players and no call. Now of course Iowa gets fouled. Not looking good.

Duffy gets a lay up with 9 seconds left. 76-72. No more 2 pointers can be afforded and maybe not that one either.

FINAL
SOUTH DAKOTA 73 IOWA 78
Not a good day for me, Nova loses and the Coyotes lose. Aahh.
Good year for the Coyotes. They put up a good fight today. I think going forward two things should really help a lot. The Coyotes experience will be nice for next year and even more importantly the depth should improve. If Caitlyn Duffy and Trimboli come back plus a couple of freshman and maybe a transfer big the Yotes should have more energy left in the tank at the end of next year like the team from last year had.

Great effort Lady Yotes in this game as in all your games this year!! For a little perspective you were playing at a Big 10 school who has been in post season tournaments 10 years in a row with 8 of those appearances in the NCAA tournament. They've had the same coach for 17 years. You gave them all they wanted and then some!! Super proud Ladies!!

Wow, tough loss. The girls really left it all out on the court today! They refused to just go away, and just about pulled it off in front of a hostile crowd.
Gotta say this loss bums me out more than all the others, because it means no more Coyote BB this year. Very proud of what this young squad has accomplished, and looking forward to the future. Sad to see Bridget and Abigaill go, though.
Normally I am knee-deep in watching the men's NCAA tournament, and my brackets, but this year is different. I'm too depressed about the loss to really watch any more BB tonight. Crap.

Also to put things into perspective the losses of the men and women at Iowa in the NIT hurts about 10 times less collectively then the Coyote Men's loss to SDSU in the conference tourney semi-final game. Both teams played well in those games and it's easier to have peace with those losses then it is with the way the Yotes lost to the Jacks in Sioux Falls. That is a punch to the gut that still hurts.
The men had about a 20% chance to win at Iowa and the Women maybe 40%.
