Gametime 7PM at the Dakotadome. This should be a very good game. I am predicting that the Yotes take exception to how they played last weekend and come out and handle IUPUI in a close one 68-64.

Yotes lead 34-33 at half on a late breakaway dunk by Charlie. The Coyotes when they play with alot of energy aren't that bad. Still alot of standing around and one on one play. If the Yotes would play with more intensity a little bit more of the time they could be a much better team IMO. It does appear that IUPUI has better overall talent and depth which is not real surprising. In defense of the players with only about 300 people in attendance that challenge is more difficult with a stale atmosphere. The attendance is a major problem, more of a problem than the team itself.

There really is a reason why the offense is struggling. There are way too many shots being launched where the shooter is barely getting set and letting it fly. The Yotes need to work it around much more and do it with a purpose. Win or lose there is definately room for improvement. It's a talent issue to a point, but just as much a schematic and heart issue as well. Tonight so far has been pretty good. Not great, Not bad but somewhere in the middle.

7:51 to go
65-59 Yotes. USD is hanging in their pretty well tonight. There has been a pretty good surge of energy and the crowd has been in it a bit more as of late. After panning around I would estimate 500-800 for the size of the crowd.

TIMEOUT BABY!!!
67-59 Yotes with 7:10 to go. The energy level is picking up in the second half. A much, much better second half that we have seen lately.

3:51 to go
73-65 Yotes. Yotes had the lead up to 11 than back down to 6. We settle in at 8 for the stretch run. The Yotes need to finish this one, especially at the defensive end. First to 80 wins and we have a nice head start.

77-72. USD is going to have to stave off one last push by IUPUI. The Jaguars (love the nickname) may have something to say about this game yet.

81-72. Just under 2 bucks to go. Nice to have a little cushion to be able to withstand a spurt by the Jags.

88-78 FINAL
I was nice to see the Yotes hold the ball out in victory for the last few seconds. Much needed win. I thought the first half was ok but in the second half the Yotes played with a purpose. More second halfs like that can get us a few more wins.
Goal number one make sure to finish at least in 9th Goal number two maybe catching another team in the standings Goal number three how about a major bounceback and a win against SDSU and NDSU but hopefully at least one.
Boots: made shots, shared the ball, got beat on the boards a bit. Fun game for the kids to play in. Westbrook showing ability. Need everyone to play well. Need more guys to step up. When ya make baskets the game is much easier to play. Confidence is built through success. Saint Gelais building confidence-needs to keep learning. Bartling played a few decent minutes. Sat night coming against Western Illinois. Hoping to play better than in Macolm. Necks are a very good defensive team. What is done the rest of this year leads into next year.

I thought it was a pretty good game tonight. They looked to play together tonight and played tougher defense. Good win and need to keep it rolling through Saturday.
