Podcast and website by Summit League Fans, for Summit League fans
I heard it suggested on a local podcast earlier this week that no one cared who won the regular season Summit League title. On the surface his assertion made sense. It seemed nearly every seed other than the one seed had won the title in recent years. Saturday afternoon in Vermillion, I learned differently however. …
College sports are better with a rival. When it comes to sports in South Dakota it’s not rocket surgery where the rivalries lie. There’s an entire trophy dedicated to it in fact. Further, a face or two emerge as the villains on the rival team. Someone who embodies everything you dislike about the opposing team….
If you were to go back and time and tell any South Dakota fan that after 12 conference games, 8 of which were on the road, that they would be 9-3 I think 99% of them would have been ecstatic with that. It’s how they’ve arrived at 9-3 that have people referencing my favorite article…
Every once in a while someone will ask me, “Why are you a fan of USD?” The answers to that question are many, but when it comes to Women’s basketball in Vermillion, one of the answers is the unique access you have to the team and coaches. It’s just not a huge town where the…

And for seasoned fans, there is a belief that when momentum shifts against your team, it can be reversed by standing in unison and cheering your guts out. Ask USD fans…
The South Dakota women opened Summit League play with 2 convincing wins over the Denver Pioneers.

It’s not very often that when a player nets their 1,000 point during a road win that that story line, at least on some level, is the 3rd place finisher in the story line department. But that was the case Thursday afternoon following USD’s 84-68 win over Bradley in Peoria, IL. Chloe Lamb did indeed…
Most fans and observers probably looked at the 3 day Dakota Showcase event in Sioux Falls as a chance to get a sense for the power balance in the Summit League. Through the first two days, it certainly appeared we would get that clarity. SDSU was 2-0 and looked the part. The North Dakota schools…
The preseason chatter around the Yotes following their historic 30-2 campaign was not only what they lost, but what was returning. As the season kicked off we all learned that a key returner Monica Arens was sidelined indefinitely with a knee injury. It’s no small loss. If you watch the non conference schedule from a…
If you watched the Coyotes game versus Nebraska, you couldn’t help but feel good about where the Yotes game was. They hit their last 3 three’s. They erased an 18 point deficit, they looked every bit as talented as the Huskers. I could not wait for the next game at Kansas City. A conference foe…
