Jim Flanery always takes losing hard, but he couldn’t help but feel like he let his team down as he watched Hannah Sjerven muscle her way to a career-high 28 points on just 15 shots against an inexperienced front court in Creighton’s 72-65 loss at 24th-ranked South Dakota on Wednesday night.
The 6-foot-2 junior forward just missed a double-double, adding nine rebounds, five blocked shots, and 10-of-13 shooting from the free throw line to give the Coyotes their fifth straight win over the Bluejays since 2015.
“We just got our butts kicked in the post all night,” Flanery said.
