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 [...]
The Mavericks jump out to a quick 2-0 lead. Atila Santos got the first bucket and so far it seems he is going to touch the ball in every possession for the Mavericks. It looks like the Mavericks want him involved early. He just got to the line and forced the foul on Steve Smith. [...]
First off, on behalf of the Volante staff, I would like to apologize because of the technical difficulties we had during the women’s game. The USD women ran away with an easy victory over the Mavericks. Their will be an update shortly on the results of the women’s game.
Now onto the mens game. USD comes [...]

The fourth-ranked USD men’s basketball team hopes things are a little easier the second time around against North Central Conference foe Nebraska-Omaha.
In the first meeting this season Jan. 24 in the DakotaDome, the Coyotes (19-1, 4-1 NCC) came away with an 81-70 victory while hitting just 4-of-23 3-pointers.

So I was kind of right with my pre-game entry about what to expect with Saturday’s double header in the DakotaDome for the USD men’s and women’s basketball teams with MSU-Mankato.
As I stated in the entry, the women would win by 15-20 while the men would get a tight game.
Can I get a [...]
The funs gets underway at 6 p.m. in the DakotaDome tonight.

The USD men’s and women’s basketball teams have two North Central Conference home games this weekend, starting with tonight’s women’s game at 6 p.m. in the DakotaDome against Minnesota-Duluth.
