Hey y’all. Since most of you probably won’t be attending this weekend’s North Central Region women’s basketball tournament, The Volante will provide daily logs. Enjoy.

The second you step into the DakotaDome, it’s like walking into NCAA Land. Banners, logos, men in suits everywhere. Speaking of which, I’m calling the Dome GenzlerDome [...]
If you were there, you won’t forget it.
If you weren’t there, you need to see it.
During the USD-Augustana men’s basketball game back on Feb. 28, Rane Mergen nailed an 85-foot three-pointer at the halftime buzzer.
It was one of those shots that you see on ESPN’s nightly highlights.
Without further adeu, check out the video (courtesy of [...]
The UND women were put in an unusual place on Sunday, a third straight loss to USD. This time USD beat UND in the North Central Conference championship game. UND missed a three point basket at the buzzer that would have tied the game. Immediately, the team went to their bench and quickly ran off [...]
OK, allow me to be the first person from The Volante to say this: What happened last night?
To be fair, I wasn’t at the game, but at this point does it matter? It was brutal, regardless of how far from Vermillion you were.
I’m not going to say anything anyone else isn’t thinking right now, but [...]
As our religious friends from Augustana make their way down to Vermillion for tomorrow night’s basketball doubleheader against USD, let me be the first to welcome them to our humble abode.

Yet, let [...]

This quote by Argus Leader beat reporter Mick Garry has in his story today from USD men’s basketball senior Dustin Little pretty much sums up what the Coyotes need to do to get back on the winning track.
“It’s time to stop talking about playing better and just start playing better. It’s time to go to [...]

Three consecutive North Central Conference road games added up to three-straight losses for the USD men’s basketball.
The Coyotes finished their three-game road swing Saturday with a 75-71 loss to St. Cloud State in Halenbeck Hall.
Senior forward Eric Hall scored a career-high 30 points while junior center Steve Smith added 13 points for the [...]
It looks like Coach Boots hammered into the Coyotes head the idea of rebounding as they have already grabbed a couple offensive rebounds and a couple of defensive rebounds. Both three point shots didn’t fall for the Coyotes though. Boots is still all over the officials and it is the most animated I have seen [...]
The Coyotes need to come out with more energy at the half. Boots will make sure the adjustments are made. The Coyotes need to be more aggressive and less tentative on the offensive end. Things started to be clicking better as the half ended, but improvements still need to be made. Steve Smith leads the [...]
