If Jon Cooper is “heartbroken” over a too many men on the ice penalty (even though said players were going to the bench) I can imagine he’s calling the league office to forfeit their win over the

Big difference for me between USD and SDSU WNIT title runs is State’s relative youtb. 2016 Coyote team was largely made up of seniors & started over w/new coach next year (though they’d be nucleus of Sweet 16 this year). SDSU has most everyone back next year & is set for BIG run
Great way to end a winter sports season. Again.

But remember kids….there were scouts who actually questioned whether Pierre was a good enough pass catcher 🙄🙄 (

Good bit of sound after the game from South Carolina's Dawn Staley about how
@GoJacksWBB
got back to w/in 6 in the fourth and a prediction for the NCAA Tournament ahead. Almost get the sense she expects to see SDSU again ala when Oregon-SDSU met in 2019 regular season & Sweet 16
