Coyote offense doing a good job of getting Kate open looks from the arc. Just like last year with our forwards. Coach P mentioned in the pre-game that Creighton's D likes to swarm the ball, which should provide kick-out opportunities. Surprised it isn't Jaycee taking the shots, though.

52-40 after the third quarter. The Coyote D tonight has made up for a lot of other things that haven't gone as smoothly. The D and the hustle have been very good tonight. Coach Smith would be proud of the Women and their GATA ball tonight. Lets finish the job.

Trimboli must be hurt again. She isn't dressed, but sitting with the team. Coach Plitzuweit said that she is battling an illness.

Kate with 18 so far - inside and out. She has a nice hook shot that's hard to defend.
AA getting her groove back a little - nice to see.

Not to jinx us with only 37 secs left, but the ladies are 16 of 16 from the free throw line. Amazing free throw skills!

Great win, 73-68! This team looks different, but what a great start! I can't wait to see what they look like once they start conference play. The defense made some strides today. More aggressive, steals and transition points.

Final 73-68 South Dakota over Creighton
I was very happy with the performance from the Coyotes tonight. They were scrappy and the D was definitely head and shoulders above the Iowa State game. I hope I am not leaving out anyone but the players that stood out to me tonight were A Arens, Liveringhouse and McKeever. Arens had a very timely three pointer just when Creighton cut it to a one possession game. McKeever had an athletic steal where she reached into the air to swipe the ball away. Liveringhouse is really good right now with her inside/outside game. I am proud of her. She has been a good soldier for 3 years coming off the bench and now as a senior she is starting and looking as good as ever. She has earned her success, no doubt.
I really thought the Coyotes did great with the ball denial defense. I thought Creighton seemed to get more benefit of the doubt with the stripes. They got many calls and it seemed like towards the middle of the game they were either traveling or close to it on just about every possession. They also got some favorable out of bounds calls as well. In the 4th quarter it didn't seen like the Jays were living on that edge as often with the traveling. The late free throws were solid with most of them going to Allison. She missed one but I can't think of any others missed down the stretch. Pre game I thought the D would be the key and it certainly was. Without it the Coyotes might not win tonight. I thought the Coyotes actually were unlucky to win by only 5. I felt they were 12-15 points better tonight.
Dawn's comments on the post game
She said she was happy with the D for most of the night and happy with the lack of turnovers. She said Creighton is known for their offense but they make it tough for opponents to score. She thought the Yotes played a fun style of basketball. Dawn happy with Kate so far and said she has played hard and efficiently. She has tough defensive assignments as well and much of her growth is on defense. Feels fortunate to come out on top. Talked about Wichita and their big and good post player.

Announcers said Trimboli was sick. Nice win over a very good Creighton team. Lady Yotes made it a little more interesting at the end than necessary with some sloppy interior D and untimely fouls. Similar for the men this squad is talented and deep. Good to see some freshmen with decent playing time. GO YOTES!!!

Talked about Wichita and their big and good post player. I agree with pretty much everything here. I think it was defense that really was the thing that changed from the Iowa State game. The only thing that I've been more nervous about and maybe disagree is the play of Arens. Besides the last 10 free throws, she had only 8 points. I'm hoping this is just a first part of the year fluke, but she hasn't been able to get into the lane like last year, which worries me. And when she's not doing driving, she struggles to pass the ball. Against good teams, we'll need her to get into the lane in order to win.

If Creighton is anywhere near as good as they were last year then this will stand as a fantastic victory for us. Felt so good to be at a basketball game again tonight. Going to be a great year for both teams.

Thayer calls a good game. much better than the guy doing Volleyball. I think the volleyball guy is a student so Thayer probably gets paid a lot more too... Can't be any worse than the Bowling Green color girl though!
