LUBBOCK, Texas — Talk about an auspicious debut. South Dakota State tied an NCAA Tournament record with 16 threepointers, matching its own school record in the process, as the Jackrabbits rolled in their inaugural Division I tournament game with a 90-55 victory over Texas Christian on March 22, 2009. The Jackrabbits, who tied a school record for wins in a season, upped their record to 32-2, while TCU ended its season at 20-11. SDSU used the three-ball early and often, racing out to a 28-4 lead in the first nine and a half minutes behind seven three-pointers. Redshirt freshman Jill Young came off the bench to drain her first four three-point attempts of the night. The Jackrabbits continued to shred TCU’s 1-3-1 defense, racking up 11 three-pointers in the first half en route to a 52-22 halftime advantage. While SDSU was shooting the lights out at United Spirit Arena, TCU was firing blanks. The Horned Frogs opened the first half 1-of-15 from the field and the second half with a 1-of-14 stretch. The second-half drought allowed the Jackrabbits to open the final frame with a 15-1 run as they built their largest lead of the night — 44 points — at 67-23 on a Kristin Rotert three-point play. Rotert and Young shared game-high honors with 17 points. Young canned five three-pointers, while Rotert nailed four from long distance. Jennifer Warkenthien posted her 13th double-double of the season with 15 points and 10 rebounds. Maria Boever added 13 points and seven boards. Stacie Oistad was the fifth player in double figures for SDSU with 10 points. The Jackrabbits were efficient offensively, finishing the game 34-of-63 overall from the field, 54 percent, including 16-of-31 from three-point range. SDSU recorded assists on 28 of its 34 baskets and committed only 10 turnovers. Seven different Jackrabbits hit at least one three-pointer. TCU, meanwhile, ended the night 20-of-63 from the field, 31.7 percent, and 3-for-16 on three-point attempts. The Horned Frogs also converted 12-of-17 attempts at the free throw line, 70.6 percent. The Horned Frogs’ leading scorer, Helena Sverrisdottir, was held scoreless in the first half, but led TCU with 12 points and eight rebounds. Emily Carter tallied 11 points and TK LaFleur contributed 10 points.
LUBBOCK, Texas — Kelli Griffin banked in a runner from the right side of the lane with .5 seconds remaining, lifting fifth-ranked and secondseeded Baylor (Texas) to a 60-58 win over 15th-ranked South Dakota State in the NCAA Tournament Second Round on March 24, 2009. The Jackrabbits ended their season with a 32-3 record, matching the best mark in school history. Baylor upped its record to 29-5. SDSU led for nearly the entire game, jumping out to a 15-2 lead in the opening seven minutes. The Jackrabbits opened the game 6-of-9 from the field, while Baylor opened the game 0-for-10. Baylor pulled to within four, 22-18, with 7:53 remaining on a Griffin three-pointer, but the Jackrabbits reeled off the next six points to build the lead back to 10. However, the Lady Bears closed the first half on a 10-1 run to make the score 29-28 heading into halftime. The Lady Bears stayed in the game by getting to the foul line, scoring their first six points of the game and 14 of their first-half points at the charity stripe. Baylor took its first lead of the night, 55-53 with 2:57 to play, on a three-pointer by Jessica Morrow, but SDSU came back 23 seconds later to tie the game on a Stacie Oistad layup. Trailing 58-56 with 21 seconds remaining, the Jackrabbits tied the game for the fifth time with 7.6 seconds remaining as Jill Young scored on a layup after a backcut pass from Warkenthien. After a timeout, Griffin drove the length of the floor for the winning basket. Griffin ended the night with a game-high 21 points on 7-for-14 shooting from the field. Melissa Jones added 12 points and a team-high seven rebounds off the bench for Baylor, which held a 30-29 advantage on the boards. Warkenthien led the Jackrabbits with her 14th double-double of the season, scoring 18 points and grabbing 10 rebounds in her final collegiate game. The Jackrabbits ended the night 20-of-46 from the field, 43.5 percent, but were only 3-of-15 from three-point range. At the line, the Jackrabbits made 15-of-20 attempts, 75 percent.
