This thread has turned ridiculously dumb. Can we start a thread with every social media follow, from anyone in the USD Athletics Department? Well your contributions to it have been awesome and helpful. Sometimes reading the tea leaves with twitter follows is pointless, and sometimes it has some value. I've just tried to generate some talking points during the transfer season with what little information is out there. Speculation can be fun... but feel free to ignore it if you couldn't care less. You don't have to be a dick about it though. On the Women's side we were able to guess who the two transfers were a few days before the announcement, only using twitter follows. For whatever that's worth to you. If it makes you cry less, I can put my speculation in a different thread that you can just ignore. Lol I like the info- and I do the same thing to get it. It is about the only thing we have in the Transfer portal era at our level to have any idea of who our coaches are looking at. Thanks Kiyoat.

My comment was more around playing time/rotation. I don’t really care who starts to begin the year- more interested in who our final 5 are come March end of games. If we want to be better than this year, we will need newcomers(not in the rotation this year) to have significant impact. I agree klosterbauer is who I’m most interested in seeing healthy- along with the 2 freshmen. Unsure what we will get from coons year 1 coming off an acl injury. Hell I could see kieffer breaking into the starting lineup. She was one of the few players that has the foot speed to move on defense this year, along with Ambrosi.

I really hope we see some great development of our young, recruited talent like Coral, Avery, and Addison this off season. Kieffer is going to be a good one! I do too, but right now the starting lineup is pretty much set with upperclassmen, so I'm wondering how much time will be available. Injuries could obviously factor in, but basically the top 8 are set. For next year? Pretty wide open behind larkins to earn minutes IMO.

Poor poor defense and no offensive plan. I wonder if they watched any film before this game. I wondered the exact same thing. Poor coaching Lol

Any insight on the addition mentioned in Tweets by Kayla/Gabby Johnosn last night? Transfer or Recruit? Feels like a transfer incoming.

I think we'll take a step back this year mostly due to reverting to the mean. Just about everything went our way last year and we won't be as good defense. There he is! dynamite drop in. There is alot of dudes on the roster at LB. I think we will have the next wave but could be some struggles there early while those guys get acclimated. The good news is the back end is strong enough to pick up the slack as those guys get rolling. D line is the biggest concern for me. we seem to do fine against anyone not named XDSU on the D line but thats where we need the jump talent wise and also in size to raise the ceiling. Offense: we are strong everywhere but hoping a playmaker or two steps out of the receiver room that we have not yet heard much about.

I wonder if Walker will play in the WNIT? Would be unusual given how these transfers play out. Also puts the coaches in a tough spot- pretty hard to play someone in the portal.

Man disappointing finish. With that in mind, im understanding of the frustration but also think this fan base needs a reality check. Let’s give this guy some time and grace to build a program- not a year to year stop gap like his predecessor. If you have watched basketball for any period of time and listen to EP talk hoops you know it’s a matter of time. He hasn’t hit the lottery with Matt Mooney like smith did just yet but his first full class hits campus this summer. Whining here and on social media is embarrassing - be better. Support this program and let’s turn it around. Go yotes.

Just a note that Montana and sdsu both had a D2 opponent this year. Seemed to work out ok for them. Not like fcs teams outside the big sky are lining up to play us.

Well, I think part of the problem offensively is there always seems to be two guys on the court that aren't confident offensively, so when the ball gets rotated to them and they don't want to shoot or make a move, the flow gets interrupted. Just started following the game. Why does Stewart not appear to have played in the 2nd half? What a coincidence, I just stopped following it. I was optimistic when we beat NDSU, but now I have no confidence in our chances in the SL. I'm the transfer portal era, it shouldn't take more than a year or two to get a basketball program competitive. I don't like the direction this team is going. Lol yes. We should have expected instant success. Not every coach is going to build/fill a roster from transfers(I know that was our prior coaches only means of recruiting) but EP’s first full recruiting class are Freshmen now and would note all 3 of those freshmen would be in the rotation if not for Eberwein’s injury. Can we please not go full Nebraska football fans here.

2 single tickets all that are showing now. Unsure if there are other tickets we are still vetting or that will be available if season ticket holders did not submit claims but as of now, essentially sold out.

Some cancellations trickling in over at bisonville- you know this will be handled maturely by their fans.

As always, to err is human, but it takes a computer to really foul things up. This sounds like a mess. If I buy tickets tomorrow I sure would like to know that I HAVE tickets. Reading all these posts, I think I'll watch it on TV. At least then I know I have a seat. If you are a season ticket holder or HP member you will have tickets. Let’s not use this as an excuse to not show up Saturday. As has been said this team deserves as much red in the dome as possible and we need to be loud- as we know the bison fans will be regardless of their number.

NDSU is laying an absolute beatdown on UNI. Will this be enough for NDSU to earn a seed? On the other side of that coin, UNI definitely is not going to make the playoffs now with a 6-5 finish. Wild considering they looked like they were on a mission until last Saturday against Missouri State. We are going to see three MVFC teams finish at 7-4: UND, SIU, and YSU. How many of them get in? I'm guessing UND and SIU to give the MVFC 5 teams. YSU has two very weak OOC wins that are probably going to haunt them. Ndsu should be seeded. Hopefully not 6th.

The die hard fan base comes for the game. I suppose a better sound system and overall game day experience might attract more casual fans, but in Vermillion SD with a limited budget, how much can we really do? And its hard for me to imagine a bunch of people saying "Hey, there's a great half time show in Vermillion this weekend, let's go!" Personally, 9-2 is what I care about. Doing that every year will do more for attendance than anything else. This. I’ve been to many football games and events both before and after remodel. I don’t think I’ve ever recall sitting there thinking about the sound system- but that’s just me. Usually either tuned into the game or making small talk between plays. Would think there’s bigger fish to fry? Do we really need a dome club and 2 different iterations of “coyote landing” or can we repurpose one of those spaces for say a student in game tailgate?
