Happy Hour with John Gaskins

What didn't happen in local and regional sports over the weekend? Other than no football games being played, nothing. 
 
Monday's Happy Hour covers it all:
 
* SDSU's 14th trip to the NCAA Women's Tournament in 18 years
 
* Augustana hockey coach Garrett Raboin stays in Sioux Falls despite reported offer from Minnesota to replace mentor Bob Motzko
 
* Huron upsets undefeated Lincoln for first boys state title in 22 years
 
* West Central wins first boys championship in 25 years, with a West River legend leading the way in his first season
 
* Nebraska and Iowa — both off breathtaking wins — will meet in the men's Sweet 16
 
* Under former USD coach Dawn Plitzuweit, Minnesota reaches Sweet 16 in thrilling finish
 
* USD women win WNIT game
 
* USD men lose two of its best players to the transfer portal
 
Sioux Falls Live sportswriter Trent Singer joins to provide insight into Raboin's shocking (to some) decision to turn down what many would consider a dream job.
 
SDSU women's coach Aaron Johnston joins to describe why his Jackrabbits couldn't become the sixth team in his program's history to win an NCAA Tournament game, the legacy Brooklyn Meyer will leave behind, what SDSU does to prevent its best players from jumping in the portal, and what to expect of next year's team.
 
SDSU men's basketball signee Blake Ellwein joins to explain how his Huron team shocked most of the state by taking down top-ranked and 23-0 Sioux Falls Lincoln to capture that city's first state basketball crown since 2004. 

Ellwein also describes what it has been like to live in a basketball family where both parents were prep stars and state champions, his older sister plays at Dakota Wesleyan, and his younger brother Myles burned the nets at the state tourney.
 
Plus, why did Ellwein choose SDSU, then stick with that choice after former head coach Eric Henderson left for Drake and tried to convince Ellwein to also come to Des Moines?

Why was this Jackrabbit team unable to become the sixth to win at least one game in the NCAA Tournament? What sense can we make of euphoric wins for Nebraska and Iowa to meet each other in the Sweet 16?
