LUBBOCK, Texas—Talk about an auspicious debut.
South Dakota State tied a NCAA Tournament record with 16 three-pointers, 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.
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 to a 28-4 lead in the first nine and a half minutes behind seven three-pointers. Freshman Jill Young came off the bench to drain her first four three-pointers.
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.
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 half 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. Jennifer Warkenthien posted her 13th double-double of the season with 15 points and 10 rebounds. Maria Boever added 13 points and 7 boards. Stacie Oistad was the fifth player in double figures with 10 points.
