Their RPI is #85. Their biggest win was on the road against TCU.
Time to show them what we think about their leaving us stranded in the WAC.
Looks like a good one! Definately glad to have the home court this time around.
Planning on being there, hopefully the family too!
Anyone want to make a premature stab at the numbers? I'm guessing we might make 5K. Those tickets are darn cheap for a tournament! Hope to see you guys there!
SMU was the regular season champs in CUSA, if I am not mistaken. I will try to look up some information on them today, if I get a chance. Sheould be a great game!
If we go on a winning streak, I can definitely see an OSU/Lady Techster match up in the Semifinals. There are some good teams in the WNIT this year. This should be a lot of fun.
How were the 1st round byes determined? Illinois State? They are the Redbirds, aren't they? (from memory...)
Gotta beat SMooooo, for it to matter, and I have a feeling it won't be easy.
SMU's top players:
http://smumustangs.cstv.com/sports/w...030309aaa.html
They have two girls at 6'2" and a 5'11" guard that made the all conference team. One of the bigs is a freshman.
Looks like it will be Dowdell and Johnson battling for us inside against these two. I think our guards can handle their guards. If we play as well as we have been playing, I think we can take this one. SMU has never beat us and that is going to play to our advantage psychologically. These players have never played us, but walking into the TAC again for Rhonda Rompola has got to be a nighmare.
I hope we make a HUGE push to pack the TAC!
My guess is us against Indiana in the quarter finals and OSU in the semi's, but we are going to have to play HARD to get there. We just need to come out with the intensity that we have been playing with. I hope we have that chip on our shoulder going into every game.

Some of them know the scoop on Weatherspoon and it scares them what we have done since she has come on board. Some of them didn't. Blowing them out of the TAC would be a GREAT FEELING!
