John-o-logue: AJ & EP powered big February's and big "State vs U" wins on Saturday
from Happy Hour with John Gaskins · host John Gaskins
It's Christmas in March in Sioux Falls. The Summit League men's and women's basketball tournaments are back in town and the Denny Sanford PREMIER Center will turn into a hot cauldron of do-or-die, one-bid-league hoops. Both the SDSU women and USD men are coming in hot thanks to "State vs U" rivalry wins on Saturday and some Midas touch coaching throughout February. The Happy Hour host breaks down how Aaron Johnston constructed colossal turnarounds in SDSU's second go-rounds with regular season champion North Dakota State and No. 3 seed South Dakota. Then, how did Eric Peterson move mountains to push USD's men to 8-8 and a No. 4 seed despite losing six players to season-ending injuries, including Summit League leading scorer Isaac Bruns? Specifically, how did Peterson jump start his Coyotes back from 17 down to sweep SDSU for the first time in 29 years? Meanwhile, Augustana's men moved on thanks to some (last day before) March magic on Saturday night, but the host explains why it was no fluke.
