I hope our new recruits will make it to this game. Give them a taste of what they'll be working towards next year.

Rutgers are big - hope we will play smart and keep AJ out of foul trouble.

We are going to have to run in that game.

Do we have any idea what time the game on Tuesday will be?

[BlindDog]

yea, still think we could have beaten Fla State last year had Dowdell not got 2 quick fowls in the first couple of minutes of the game!
I suppose you have to get a feel of how the Refs are going to call a game before you start getting too tuff out theree on the court!
Go Techsters!

ESPN article was arguing that TAMU wasn't protected enough with the bracket setup. They will have to go through us, possibly, on our "home" floor. They will have to go through Baylor as well. Which means we have to go through Baylor. I love it. However, they were arguing that it could have been fixed simply by seeding us at 11 instead of 10. The author was claiming that our positioning was "not a big deal". I will tell you this, it is huge for us to play a 7 instead of a 6, especially in our home state.

Congrats Techsters. I really wish I could be there. Its just awesome that Tech is practically playing at home. This seems like a very fair thing for the committee to do.

According to Sagarin ratings ( http://www.rpiratings.com/womrate.htm ) Rutgers has played the second toughest schedule this year in the country. Scary.

Steve (NY):
Do you think Rutgers has any chance of revenge against A&M after losing by 20+ earlier in the year?

Mechelle Voepel (8:41 PM):
If the Scarlet Knights get past Louisiana Tech, they could be a dangerous team for A&M
