FULL MONDAY SHOW: SDSU's home court SLT advantage (unfair?) and CBS Summit League analyst Missy Heidrick on the Jacks women and Bison men titles
from Happy Hour with John Gaskins · host John Gaskins
Here we go again. The South Dakota State women's basketball team won its 13th Summit League Tournament championship in the 18 years of the event in Sioux Falls on Sunday, and this leaves some fans outside the state crying over spilled basketballs. Those would be the four North Dakota State turnovers in the final two minutes that helped the Jackrabbits stave off the regular season champions down the stretch 64-51. Some Bison fans — and other fans outside South Dakota's borders — are tired of seeing SDSU hoist the trophy, powered by the blue tidal wave of fans who make every Jacks game in the SLT a road game for the opponent. Is it fair? How much of the Jacks' success actually has to do with the home cooking? The Happy Hour host dives into the performances by both teams in Sunday's game and the history of both the women's and men's tourney in Sioux Falls that points to the real reason the SDSU women usually come out on top. Then, CBS Sports Network Missy Heidrick, who was on the call for Sunday's game, gives an astute basketball mind's view of how SDSU beat NDSU and how tourney MVP Brooklyn Meyer won the "game within the game" against Avery Koenen. Heidrick weighs in on the "home court" topic and if the Summit League should consider hosting the tournament somewhere else. She also breaks down why the North Dakota State men won their sixth Summit tourney title, but NDSU's first in six years.
