Pressure on Jacks?

[Men's League Waterboy]

Is the Jackrabbit men’s collapse going to factor at all into the anxiety and pressure their women will feel in the next two games at the Denny?

Or is the belief that the Summit’s top two women’s teams are already in the Big Dance enough to counteract that?

Probably the latter. Plus SDSU women are much better comparitively than the SDSU men versus the other respective men’s teams.

Hard to say.  I could see it going either way TBH.  I think the "Blue Sea" might be a little more anxious to get the championship due to the Men's team failure, and that could add pressure.  You could argue that the Coyotes have just as much pressure to get over the hump, due to our past frustrations vs. the Jacks in the SLT championship game.

For the ORU-SDSU game, Oral Roberts might play a little looser, giving them an advantage.  Who knows?  For whatever reason, they have given the Yotes more trouble than the Jacks this season.  Maybe it's a match-up thing.

AJ seems to always have his team playing their best in tournament time, and they have had plenty of pressure before.  We are the team that "blinked" last year in the tournament.  I hope Dawn has learned from that.

I just figured a couple of days of listening to fans lament the men's loss might turn the pressure up a bit.

That certainly didn't appear to be the case. Jacks look like their typical, hitting-their-stride-right-when-they-want-to selves.
