About South Dakota
Scouting South Dakota
The Coyotes opened the 2023-24 season with an 85-57 victory over Northern State on Monday, November 6th. DePaul transfer Kendall Holmes led South Dakota with 14 points in the win, while six Coyotes finished in double figures.
South Dakota returns five of its top six scorers from last season, bringing back better than 60 percent of the scoring from 2022-23. The addition of Holmes will provide another jolt as she averaged 9.5 ppg for DePaul last season.
Scouting #22 Creighton
The Bluejays hit the skies flawlessly in the season opener as Lauren Jensen and Emma Ronsiek combined to deliver 38 points in Creighton's 75-52 win over North Dakota State.
The 22nd ranked Bluejays used all 11 players, getting contributions from all. Two areas for immediate improvement will be three-point shooting (Creighton was 5-for-19 against the Bison) and ball security as the Bluejays committed 17 turnovers. Playing on a neutral floor and in the opening game, some of that was to be expected, however.
Takeoff History
The Bluejays are 22-28 in season openers following the 75-52 win over North Dakota State. Under head coach Jim Flanery Creighton is 10-12 in the first game of the season, including 2-0 when the Bluejays begin the season on a neutral floor.
Creighton is 34-15 in home openers, including 15-6 under head coach Jim Flanery. The Bluejays have a three-game win streak in home openers, besting #22 Nebraska last season (77-51). The game with the Bison marked the fifth time the Bluejays began a season at a neutral site. Creighton is 4-1 in those contests.

Chase for 1,000 Continues for Jensen
Creighton's Big Three are very likely to become teammates with over 1,000 points in a Creighton uniform sometime in the next handful of games.
Emma Ronsiek reached the plateau first on Feb. 12, 2023 against Xavier. Morgan Maly did so on March 4 in Creighton's 75-74 overtime victory against Seton Hall
Emma Ronsiek - 1,101 points
Morgan Maly - 1,025 points
Lauren Jensen - 959 points/936 at Creighton
Three-Point Streak Keeps Going Strong
The Bluejays have hit at least one three-pointer in 486 consecutive games. During Flanery's 664 games at the helm, just once were the Bluejays held scoreless from long range.
The Bluejays climbed to sixth when Austin Peay saw its streak of 492 games snapped on March 8 against Florida Gulf Coast. Creighton went 0-for-6 from beyond the arc against Southern Illinois on Feb. 14, 2008. Unofficially Creighton has the sixth longest streak in the NCAA.
