Should be a good year for both teams. If Flack can get healthy I am on board with the 20 win train everyone is talking about. I also beleive the ladies are going to win the regular season and league tourney this year. If it happens it will make the last second missed layup 2 years ago in the championshp game hurt a little more as I feel we have the momentum to steal away this confernece from SDSU on a regular basis. Especially if we pull in a couple good recruiting classes before the new arena.

I like your optimism but SDSU has had 2 of the best recruiting classes in their D1 era the past couple of seasons and that's not even adding the #3 rated prep player from Minnesota in next years class. SDSU is going nowhere and will always be the class of women's basketball in the Dakota's.

I'm surprised that those recruiting rankings didn't result in a tourney bid last year....

Always want to be playing your best when it counts Would you rather win a conference championship or go to NCAA tourney? Curious to know!

Hopefully not just getting to the NCAA tourney, but winning a game or 2, should be the goal. Playing in the Summit League at this point means you must win the conference tourney to get to the Dance. Winning the conference regular season championship, plus some good non conference wins helps get a better seed, which helps with the ultimate goal.

Always want to be playing your best when it counts Would you rather win a conference championship or go to NCAA tourney? Curious to know! The obvious choice to me is the NCAA Tournament. The team gets a whole week of exposure and brings excitement around the area and university. But I also don't want my team to finish with a poor or an average conference record. With that being said, a regular season championship has more meaning and proves what team in the conference had the most success. Both are great accomplishments, its just unfortunate for the teams that have the best season in the conference don't make the NCAA Tournament unless they can get an at-large bid. But I guess that is why they call it March Madness. It would be interesting to see what coaches prefer.

Winning the conference regular season championship, plus some good non conference wins helps get a better seed, which helps with the ultimate goal. Just because you play in the Summit doesn't mean you can't get an at-large bid. If you have a good ooc sos, high RPI, no bad loses, and a couple of good wins, you are right in the discussion of getting an at-large. SDSU was right on the brink of it last year. The loss at IUPUI hurt. Also if SDSU would have won 1 more ooc game (say against Creighton), I truly think SDSU would have got an at-large. Its not about the conference. It's how the team sets itself up in the ooc portion and limiting the damage in conference games for smaller conference's like the Summit.

Always want to be playing your best when it counts Would you rather win a conference championship or go to NCAA tourney? Curious to know! Both. SDSU has achieved that several times. You'll ask: what if you don't win both, which would you choose? (Isn't this a game played by little kids? Okay, I will play along.) If I had to make a selection I would go with the NCAA Tourney. But winning the regular season title is of critical importance because one of these days it will be insurance for getting to the NCAA Tourney when those making selections recognize the Summit deserves two representatives. (Then we'll work on a third.) There may be a benefit for the long term when the regular season champs are bumped off in the Summit Tourney by a team that challenged for the regular season title. There's no question in my mind that the addition of the Williams-coached Coyotes to the League gets us closer to the goal of getting more than one team into the tourney.

We bring in Allison Arens, 3 other freshmen, and add transfer duffy(sophomore eligibility) from colroado state. Looking like some battles for years to come with the bunny rabbits.

I love the bubble/planet that SDSU fans are in. You also thought you were going to make a deep run in the NCAA tourney with Wolters a few years ago. Let me guess the only reason that didnt happen is because you played the eventual runner up in the first round. You are probably the people voting for NDSU to be ranked in the top 25 of FBS because they beat a 2-7 Iowa State team. Name the last time the summit league, or even when it was under the old conference name had an at large bid into the NCAA tournament. All of the buzz about SDSU getting an at large bid last year was created by local media and SDSU. It was very far from happening. I agree if it was possible the ladies tournament would be where it would happen. And it was a missed layup when we were down by 1 point. then SDSU sank 2 free throws if I remember correctly and then the missed 3 pointer.
