and the reason the Jacks won the regular season in 2013-14 is because Seekamp was out during a portion of the year with injury. The reason the Jacks won all their Summit titles was because USD wasn't in the league yet. I could go on and on and on and on but why do so. Excuses are weak and for losers in my book. USD was the better team period in 2014-15 and they proved it during the Summit League round robin that last I checked had a schedule that was exactly the same for both teams. This was exactly what I was going to say. Nice work coyotefan. Jacks fans are turning into raiders fans of the summit. Obnoxious with an inflated sense of who they actually are (ok maybe they were always that way). Whenever they lose there is always an excuse because in their minds no one is better than them. The schedule will get tougher for USD. It's all part of the process. The bunnies were not playing powerhouses right away either. Scheduling better teams in an actual arena will be easier compared to the Dome. Dont forget where you came from and the last 100 year history the 2 programs have had. You're not Butler or Witchita State. You are the same as USD. Just benefiting from a transition 5 years earlier. Be humble for a change.

So, Im assuming Amy Williams will be implementing the platoon system this year? But on a serious note, I think we must have a departure as that commit puts the Yotes at 11 returness+4 freshmen+1 JUCO= 1 too many? I have heard that Jackson may very well not be coming back to the program. This came from a pretty good source so that would free up one of the spots.

Ah yes, I had heard similar but It was hearsay so I did not want to announce that without more knowledge. it would make sense. Quite the logjam at guard with the 2 Nebraska girls that just came in.

You're not Butler or Witchita State. You are the same as USD. Just benefiting from a transition 5 years earlier. Be humble for a change. Do you do any research before posting? SDSU has always had one of the toughest SOS for a mid-major. In SDSU's 1st year of eligibility in the Summit the Jacks played Missouri, Wisconsin, Utah, Oregon, #10 Maryland, Illinois, Minnesota, and Gonzaga. Even in the transition years SDSU played #17 Rutgers, Kentucky, Oregon State, #20 Purdue, #19 USC, Alabama,#15 Baylor, Virginia, Colorado, Kansas, and#20 Marquette. I recommend that you go and look and SDSU scheduling history. Here is a link to SDSU 1st D1 season. espn.go.com/womens-college-basketball/team/schedule/_/id/2571/year/2005/south-dakota-state-jackrabbitsAs for you saying SDSU is in the same class as USD as a solid mid-major, that's not right. SDSU is a top tier mid-major program. Many high profile wbb analysts, and coaches will would agree with me. SDSU has proved that they can beat and play with top 25 teams in the nation. In fact, SDSU has beat a top 25 team the past 3 years. Don't blame the transition years. SDSU stepped up right away and hasn't looked back. SDSU has averaged 2.25 loses since joining the Summit (2006-2007). And the 4 loses this past season was the 2nd most conference loses SDSU has had since going D1. 6 loses was the most which happened in 2010-2011. After re-reading my initial post, it didn't come off was what I wanted. Some people stated that there won't be an "upset" in Sioux Falls again now that Seekamp is back and that it's a lock for the Yotes to win the regular conference again next year. I was trying to just point out that it was somewhat a down year during the conference season for the Jacks but their ooc was stellar. Who ever wins the league's regular season title next year will have 2 or less conference loses. This post will also probably come off as arrogant and a "raider's fan." If so, so be it. I am entitled to my own opinion, and I can back all my statements up with facts.

You can go post your facts and pat yourselves on the back on the SDSU board. This is a place to discuss USD athletics.

sadakotastate--I guess you'd agree that as great as the bunnies are they will be able to be referred to in the national media in all sports as sdsu instead of San Diego State who now has that honor. Anywhere in the U.S. except 2 or 3 states SDSU means San Diego State. The bunnies MBB uniforms just say it all--state. More and more in the future it will mean "state" of confusion!

You're not Butler or Witchita State. You are the same as USD. Just benefiting from a transition 5 years earlier. Be humble for a change. Tough schedules are nice but they are only as good as the number of wins you get with them. What good is a tough schedule if it produces mostly losses. That tough schedule for the Jacks last year was not enough to prepare them to win the Summit League. However tough you want to rate the Coyote schedule is debatable but does it really matter. The Yotes were the better team in the Summit League through the long haul last year. The Jacks got hot at the right time just like the Yotes did the year before. Lets say the Coyotes will play a really tough non conference schedule next year but end up going 4-7 during that difficult schedule and end up 14-2 in the Summit League. If they ended up not winning the Summit tourney but endured 10 total losses with an improved Strength of Schedule does that really make their chances any better. I don't think that is enough to get them an at large bid either. If they play an average non conference and only take 5 total losses I would think the chances would be just as good to get that at large bid.

One other thing in response to the post of SDSU's tough non conference SOS. What has that really gotten them. They didn't get an at large bid the year they didn't win the Summit tourney. It certainly hasn't done much to help them get a very favorable seed in the NCAA tourney. The year they were a #7 seed it was because they had an unbelievable record that year not necessarily because of their SOS.
It's mostly jealously and denial. The Coyotes are here to stay and the Jackrabbit Women's fans have a very tough time accepting that because the prevailing thought from Rabbit fans is that the Jacks should dominate period and anything else is simply blasphemy. Just because the Jacks have had a very nice run doesn't necessarily mean that will last forever. Good things can come to an end and who knows maybe in the future the Rabbits become the doormat of the Summit. That seems unlikely but one never knows. Aaron Johnston almost left once so who is to say that he is still there 3 years from now. Who is to say that Amy Williams is here 3 years from now. One just never knows but if I were a Jacks fans I would just simply be greatful to have a good program and lose the sense of entitlement.

In 2008-09 part of the reason SDSU did receive a top 10 was due to quality wins against major conferences. Beat Missouri Beat Wisconsin Beat Utah Beat Oregon Beat Illinois Beat Minnesota #25 Beat Gonzaga (receiving votes) Lost to #10 Maryland Had we played patsies out of conference there is no way we would have gotten a top 10. Just saying.

Thanks for posting coyotecrazie5, a good article. Sounds like the fire is burning with Nicole and team, looking forward to another great season.

Great article Crazie5. Thanks for posting! I'd sure enjoy seeing Nic set the all time scoring mark this season, but I know she'd be much happier with another NCAA tourney appearance instead. Getting excited to see what this women's team can do this year.
Also, love how immediately after your (correct application) post we get a snarky Jack fan taking issue with something posted in April. As he concluded, just saying. (insert eye roll)
