Minnesota should be kicked out of the big 10. They can't even get the color band on the team names correctly. The have South Dakota in maroon and Minnesota in red. Don't they even care to notice that and get it right.

Damn tied at 17 and the big bad gophers have to call time out.

We are holding our own. We’re capable of getting a set with a break or two.
My over / under for USD points was 55. We have 40
This is a great effort by our gals. Minnesota is having to earn this match. That was my hope

The Coyotes are just playing so so IMO. They are making alot of errors that aren't really a result of how good Minnesota is. Actually I don't think Minnesota is some great team either. They are good but not some juggernaut.
I hope Coyotes fans start raising their expectations a bit. A sweep is a sweep which is likely where this is heading.

Self-inflicted errors. Terrible passing. Honestly not really over matched, just playing ugly.

Ball game. 25-17 in the 3rd. Very poor 3rd set. Great run overall but I thought today could have been a bit better.

I mean, I think winning the conference is a realistic expectation every year. You were saying the same thing about WBB when they were in the islands two weeks ago. I mean, getting to the tournament should be the goal every year, but once we get there, we're going to be the underdog. That's just the nature of being a mid- major program. I'm not saying we can't go into games like this and steal one here and there, but it's not going to happen every time.

If you combine tonight, the football team and women's hoops they all seem just too satisfied to be in the playoffs but when they get their none of them have played well. The Jacks are doing more in the post season so now as a fan base we should expect a little more as well. Football is very new to this but now women's hoops and volleyball need to be better in the ncaa's. That isn't to take away from a good season but let's raise the bar higher.

If the yotes WBB would get an easy first round like the state had in the years they've won, we'd pick up a few tournament wins too. They get a Syracuse or something and we end up playing Stanford or the most under-seeded Oregon team of all time. Volleyball is a different animal. You don't see many upsets in volleyball. The better team generally wins. Building a lead doesn't matter when you have to win 3 individual games.

For WBB the Coyotes are as good or better than the Jacks but there is no comparison to how the two teams have played in the NCAAs. The Jacks have won multiples games.

I’m disappointed we didn’t break through and win a set, but I’m proud of how this team wasn’t intimidated by the opponent or the moment. They weren’t perfect but they were damn good. Good enough to make a top-16 team have to fight hard to finish each set.
I think they represented themselves and their school very well.
They earned some respect today, and who knows? Maybe the next Elizabeth Juhnke was watching from the stands…

The Coyotes were competitive sort of but I wouldn't call it the kind of performance that we should be cheering that loudly about. For some reason anytime someone brings up expectations or trying to strive for more many people get their panties in a bunch. There is nothing wrong with being happy about the season but expecting a bit more in the post season. They don't have to be mutually exclusive to one another and I just happen to be in the minority by being both.

They don't have to be mutually exclusive to one another and I just happen to be in the minority by being both. I like your attitude, I really do. And nobody here is about moral victories. The thing you have to realize is that we are always going to be the underdog in the NCAA tournament. We could go undefeated in conference play, but we're still not going to be a top seed. It's just part of being a mid major and playing in the Summit League. We can cheer and yell and get all fired up, but when you're playing a team that is full of bigger and stronger players, it's going to be an uphill battle. At some point you can't be too upset about losing to a team that's just plain better than you. Come in and give them your best shot and try to knock them off. I feel like the volleyball team did that. They didn't play their best game of the season which is unfortunate, but they carried themselves well and played Minnesota tougher than a lot of B1G teams did this year. We all want to win some tournament games, but it's OK to enjoy the successes along the way. We have won back to back SLTs and established ourselves as the top program in the conference. That will help in recruiting and continue to move the program in the right direction. Everyone is disappointed we don't have a game to watch tonight and nobody thinks this is the ceiling for the program, but it's still OK to be happy with how the season played out. I can't speak for everyone, but that's my opinion anyway.
