Here's a nice little mash-up video that Midco made for Sjerven:

HerHoopsStats.com (the ones that sponsor the mid-major POY award) put out an article with seven players they predict to have "breakout" years. Guess who is the only mid-major player on the list? LINKHannah Sjerven, senior center, South Dakota
2019-20 stats: 12.3 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 2.0 blocks in 20.1 minutes per game Sjerven has already had her breakout in the Summit League, as she was the conference’s Transfer and Sixth Woman of the Year in 2018-19 and its Defensive Player of the Year in 2019-20. She has been remarkably productive for the Coyotes despite averaging just 18 and 20 minutes per game in her two seasons: her total rebounding rate (21.9%) and block rate (11.5%) each ranked 11th nationally last season, and her 1.22 points per scoring attempt also ranked within the top 100. Sjerven was in foul trouble at times last year, but she also didn’t need to play major minutes because South Dakota had six other players who appeared in all 31 games and averaged at least 16 minutes. However, three of those six players graduated last year (including our 2020 Becky Hammon Mid-Major Player of the Year, Ciara Duffy), so Sjerven may be asked to play more minutes this season. If she can sustain her productivity in those additional minutes and limit her fouls, she could break out on a national stage and perhaps even garner some WNBA Draft attention.

They finally updated the Summit League record book with last year's data. Why is that news?
Because you have to coach in the League for four years minimum to qualify for the "Career winning percent" and "Summit League Winning Percent" records.....
And Coach P is #1 on both lists, overtaking the longtime #1, A.J.
Career winning % (min 4 years) 1. .820 (110-24) Dawn Plitzuweit, USD 2. .745 (322-110) Aaron Johnston, SDSU 3. .722 (83-32) Sal Buscaglia, Buffalo 4. .686 (96-44) Amy Williams, USD
Summit winning % (min 4 years) 1. .887 (55-7) Dawn Plitzuweit, USD 2. .836 (179-35) Aaron Johnston, SDSU 3. .735 (50-18) Sal Buscaglia, Buffalo 4. .726 (45-17) Amy Williams, USD
would be fun to use these rankings to promote the Showdown series games this year.... "#1 vs #2 Summit coaches" just to poke the bear a little.

Just to clarify, that is 1000 career points. It includes the 37 points scored at New Mexico. We know, however, that she will take care of that difference in short order...😍

How many POTW awards will be won by someone other than Sjerven or Selland. It seems like not many.
