The South Dakota State University Jackrabbits Women's Basketball team won the Summit League Conference Tournament yesterday, 79-69 over the Oakland Grizzlies. The Grizzlies were one of 2 teams to beat the Jacks this season, so I was nervous. However, after falling behind early, the Jackrabbits poured it on in the 2nd half to pull ahead and win. They finished the season with the 2nd best record in the county at 31-2. The only knock on them is the Summit League was fairly weak, outside of Oakland. But still, they won most games by 20+ points, so they not only beat the teams they should have, but they beat them handily.
Next up for the Jackrabbits, the NCAA tournament. Right now, they are projected to get a #6 seed, which is pretty good. This is the first year they are eligible for the tournament, so a #6 would be outstanding. I'm looking forward to the selection show on ESPN next Monday night.
