I like how you look at things. Don't you remember when USD beat UND 85-46? Lamb- 30 minutes (average 32 minutes.game) Krull- 31 minutes (average 32 minutes/game) Korngable- 26 minutes (average 32 minutes/game) Watson- 24 minutes (average 26 minutes/game) Sjerven- 23 minutes (average 24 minutes/game) Nelson (24) and Irwin (23) played the most minutes for SDSU and they played as many minutes as USD's fewest minutes for a starter. SDSU played the last players off the bench 8, 8, 8, 8 and 9 minutes. USD's last players off the bench played 2, 3, 5, 5 and 7 minutes. Burkhard played 4.5 minutes less than she normally plays. That is just about half of a quarter and about 80% of her normal minutes. According to your calculations, Korngable was the only USD player that played less than her normal minutes. I know that SDSU won by more than 39 but I would think that should be a big enough margin to play USD's bench more, too. SDSU has scored at least 71 points in 10 of their last 11 games. The only game they scored less than 71 points was when USD shut them down. USD held them to 42 points. That was a combination of USD's great defense and SDSU having an off night. USD is just that much better than the other teams SDSU has played in that stretch. Unfortunately, you are preaching to the choir. Rather than defending the minutes and margin, this board was commenting around that time about it being too many minutes for the starters. It was Oldhare who tried to make it look like the regulars didn't play much for SDSU, implying minutes were appropriately shared.
And though we all get the negatives, I know I was generally happier with the Denver game, where it was out of hand early, and the regulars sat (and Denver shaved ~20 points off the lead). Thank you pointing out that AJ is not allowing his starters to play but an average of 123 minutes/game. I thought 107 minutes was conservative, but only 16% cutback. It is not quite in the ballpark of calling AJ out for running up the score, but the teams that are being shellacked in the Summit may have some needs for improving. Players need to stay or get into game condition on every team. Meanwhile, I am trying to figure out why AJ does not play starters up to 35 minutes on a regular basis. February 5 is not likely going to be an argument over playing time for starters and unlikely discussion of running up the score.

Bunnies lead WIU 62-22 …. At the half. You can already hear the media headlines coming for the rivalry meeting in a couple of weeks. Update: 88-33 at the end of 3. Comeback not likely for the leathernecks. Side note, in true SDSU classsiness the starters are still contributing heavily in the game. Bench has only chipped in 17 points. Keep it classy AJ. Check the box score and find that the starters logged less than 107 of 200 minutes. Facts are there for viewing. gojacks.com/boxscore.aspx?path=wbball&id=12682

I looked at the USD/SDSU doubleheader attendance for Vermillion and I saw 5300-6000 in 2019 & 2020. Would the individual games draw better? The mirror schedule will certainly reduce the Jackrabbit travel for these contests. It seems that even the older crowd will come for afternoon doubleheaders since that is the only game for the week. It is physically possible(although harder on older crowd) to attend the women's game at 1pm & make it back to Brookings for the men at 6pm(why not 7pm?).

It would seem possible to have Saturday doubleheader games on the USD/SDSU week. It certainly would be a gate success for either program. The NDSU/UND week is likely not as easy to pull with the mirror schedule and Thursday/Saturday games. Hopefully the coaches and Summit administration could bend for the "rivalry" games play outside the mirror frame.

Let the schools sell the tickets to each of their fan bases and those schools that don't sell their allocation can go back to public purchase. The allocations for schools is a relatively small number of the total tickets sold and normally those tickets would be the seats behind the team during the game the team is involved. After that, the team ticket is not any particular seat. The session tickets are the lion's share of ticket sales which do not involve the tickets for seats behind the team. You can also plan to buy session tickets for all games in order to lock in a spot. Individual game tickets will likely be the last ticket sold before walk up sales. The tickets will be sold before we know the seedings. Also, consider the idea that this is a perfect time to increase ticket revenue for the facility and conference with "premium" seating defined in the arena.

The change is also likely to create some premium seating for the Premier. I would expect the 2023 prices to reflect the demand on the price points indicated in the letter. "The Summit League will continue to provide unique ticket packages, at various price points for future championships starting with the 2023 edition." This is likely to bring a chorus of those who oppose premium seating in most settings. Normally the most may be unhappy about the lack of opportunity for the best seats for the same price. The walk up buyer for 1 game/day finds it difficult to sit in the good seats. As many, I expect to have a chance for the complete bundle that keeps me watching all games every year.

I believe that the scholarship situation for those that stay beyond the normal senior year will not be effected. It will require the school to fund extra scholarships for additional freshman. It would move the number from 15 to include "seniors" as additional scholarships during this time. Some schools may not be able to afford the cost in the programs. This is where the earlier statement about haves and have nots comes to focus. If you have 3 players remain for another season, then you would be able to fund 18 scholarships. I am not sure how the second year will be viewed. That is where the fund raising becomes reality for each school. It is possible some schools will not be able to take advantage of this situation.

The Sooners also drive the ball frequently which is drawing some help on defense and the pass is quick to the uncovered player. Oklahoma has more speed than normally seen in the Summit.

Oklahoma has been playing physical tough defense. They also are on fire shooting 61% to USD 32%. Of course Sjerven sitting after 2 quick 1st quarter fouls took some wind out of the sails.

3 game is 3 days is not much different than the OOC tourneys. The playing within conference is different. The conference is set this year for 2 games in 2 days which we saw with the NDSU women against Green Bay format which had a less close game Day 2. No fans allowed is the big silencer which makes the games more scrimmage environment(welcome to 2020). It is great that the teams are trying to make the season longer by creating this round robin. It will create a rough situation if 1 of the teams goes without a win.

USD & SDState will once again be the favorites heading into next season. I think USD will be the favorites, but if Selland returns at full strength (and I hope she does), the Yotes won't have much margin for error. I have read that Selland's foot issues are chronic, so there is no guarantee that she will be at 100%. It is difficult to find another coach in the Summit that either team would prefer while nearly every team would love to have Coach P or Coach AJ on the bench. That is the catalyst for both programs enjoying great leadership which draws some great talent. It was very handicapping to lose Selland for much of the season, but the Jackrabbits seem to find their way. It could have been better no doubt when you lose the top scorer and good ballhandler just before a promising freshman takes a season ending injury. That is the key to both teams' performance under good leadership on the bench. Players make the plays I know, but coaching is the highway they travel.

I’m really hoping the game gets postponed till Monday. There’s no way in heck we can get there and I’d love to watch this game. Player safety getting there is a large concern and the refs being able to make it. Selfishly I’m hoping it gets postponed Is a double header on Sunday in play?

I was curious about why ORU's women's team had been under-performing so far. Apparently their star guard, Maya Mayberry, hasn't been playing for a reason that hasn't been disclosed to the public. Could be medical or personal reasons, who knows? One of the posters at the ORU fan board suggested she could be sandbagging in order to have an extra season playing with her younger sister, who will be on campus next year. I sincerely hope that is not the reason. Selfish, if true. Her father is an assistant coach there, so I'm sure whatever the reason is, it is endorsed by the staff. Jentry Holt, a 6'-3" grad transfer Center from Oklahoma State, has also not been playing. I don't know what the reason was there either, but her absence was likely felt in their lackluster non-conference showing. She did finally play at their most recent game vs. Rogers State. Her stat line looks good: 11 points/ 4 reb/ 1 asst/ 0 TO/ 1 steal/ 1 block 5/7 FG (71.4%) I think that if Mayberry doesn't come back that will be a big loss, but they have a number of good shooting guards to fill in. Holt could be a game-changer for them, as Sjerven is for us. Don't sleep on them, but I'm not as bullish on them pulling big upsets this year without Mayberry. They play tonight at Frost, so I guess we will find out what they look like with Holt in a hurry. Holt could be the real thing, but she should be a stud playing 2-11 DII Rogers St. The school(OSU) she left just hammered ORU 78-44. The last big that transferred to ORU was 6'7" McIntyre who was a load, but she did not translate to big wins for conference or post season. ORU appears to be rebounding better and Holt will reinforce that stat.
