7 seed and will play 10th seeded Arkansas in Waco, TX. Will play 2 seeded baylor most likely if they win (home game for baylor)

Noticed they are in the same region as Northwestern State.

Hopefully the Lady Demons pull off the upset over Baylor to set up an all Northwestern 2nd round matchup!

Words cannot describe how happy I am for these girls, Joe McKeown, and everybody associated with the program. And how nice it would be if more people supported them! I'm gonna see if I can make it down to Waco, but it's gonna be tough.

Doc,

Could not agree with you more. This is quite an achievement. I'm a bit surprised that the NU women don't get more attention on the Basketball Board. They deserve it!

 

[Dugan15]

Hear, hear! Kudos to the team and coach! Go 'Cats!!

 

[mikewebb68]

Awesome! For those who can't go to Waco, the game will be televised on ESPN2 acccoridng to nusports.com

Found this little bit of trivia there today; the last time the women were in the NCAAs, they lost in the first round to George Washington. I would imagine you could guess who the coach of GW was at the time....

Hopefully WNUR will carry the game--I'll probably have to work that day since it's a weekday.

 

[olshin]

and I was covering the game for the Daily for their last NCAA Tournament win. 22 years is a long time. Hopefully I can only say that another 72 hours or so.

 

[DocCatsFan]

Noah, WNUR is indeed traveling with the team and covering the game. DCF Jr (who has been named the new Sports Director of WNUR) actually will not be doing the game to his great disappointment. Greg Mroz and Eric Klaus will be on the call. Those guys are very good so you'll be able to enjoy the game.

 

[BB's Pig Man]

Please be gentle with our Arkansas Razorback women.

Go Hogs!

You haven't had good luck with Wildcats lately.
