VICTORiouS WOMEN!!
And that will do it. 69-60 is the final. We are in the final four. Next game is against the winner of UCLA and St. Mary's.
Although the competition is inferior to most of what they see in the B1G, it's not easy to go on a run in the tournament and the experience will be great for next year atlthough this afternoon was a tribute to the three seniors who scored 40 of the 69 points.
Good chance for another home game this week. St. Mary's only had 380 at its last home game and UCLA had only 760 at theirs. We had 1383 at the Mizzou game.

It feels like our WBB program is always on the NIT/NCAA bubble . . . can we make that leap to being an upper-echelon program?
Congratulations to them, and if I am not mistaken, the UCLA-St. Mary's game is in progress right now. As you may know, one of those two will be Michigan's opponent on either Wednesday or Thursday if I remember the bracket correctly. On the other side of the WNIT bracket, West Virginia will face the winner of Middle Tennessee and Temple. The survivors (hopefully Michigan is one), will meet on Saturday in the WNIT championship.
UCLA won. Temple and West Virginia in the other bracket. .Waiting for more info.

Wednesday, April 1
Temple at West Virginia, 7 p.m. ET
