Yeah I will miss him shooting 3 with 20 seconds left on the shot clock and guys all over him and the other team getting a transition layup out of it.Necks2003 wrote: Sat Mar 04, 2017 8:14 pm I miss Covington already. We wont see a scorer like that likely again for a long time.

He's a great shooter, average scorer.Necks2003 wrote: Sat Mar 04, 2017 8:14 pm I miss Covington already. We wont see a scorer like that likely again for a long time.
Give him an open look he's going to hit it.
Great scorers find a way. From beyond the arc, mid range, or driving the lane aggressively under control.
I always go back to obi as an example. He could get it done from anywhere on the court. IMO he was the last true scorer WIU had.
After saying all that I truly wish nothing but the best for garret, Mike, and Jabari in their lives beyond wiu and the court. They gave the program, school and community all they had for four years and that does not go unappreciated on my end. I wish they had more success during their time here but I hope it was still an overall positive experience for them.

I was emotionally drained after watching this one. We played such a gritty game on the defensive end and hit some incredibly tough shots when we needed to. I tip my WIU ball cap to this team. They improved each and every week during the conference season. Cant ask for much more than that as a coach or fan. Our seniors will be missed. They played with heart and hustle through trying times. Good luck to them.
Embrace the pace of the race.
That's going to be a huge matchup....big rivalry, both schools about an hour away from Sioux Falls. The place is going to be packed and loud.wiu712 wrote: Sun Mar 05, 2017 8:08 pm In Sunday night's first game, South Dakota State beat Denver 83-73.
South Dakota State will now play South Dakota in a 6PM Monday semi-final game.
