I don't know how they do it. I was always cramming and stressing during finals week and I wasn't playing ball. I remember that Bob Williams was proctoring finals the on the road in Kentucky the day before the men's team won the D2 National Championship. How many of the elite programs do you think require this kind of academic rigor and integrity of their players? Not many, if any, I'd bet.

UCONN may have a chip on their shoulders but when you have the talent that UCONN has and are up by 36 points after the first quarter, there's no justification for having your starters in the game at that point. What's the point of trying to score 100 points in a half and humiliating your opponent. It's doubtful that any team can hang with UCONN this year but it would tickle me pink if someone beat them. And, I know you're just reporting the info and don't necessarily agree with it.

That's an excellent point, Obda. WBB needs all the help it can get. It's growing in interest but there's very little parity since just a few of the big schools grab all the very top players. There's an enormous gap between the few elite teams and the rest of the D1 field and, if the sport is to grow, we definitely need more interest and participation by young girls so the sport can grow just like soccer has grown.

BTW, I lost a some respect for Geno Auriemma when his team beat St Francis 140-52 in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. After they scored 55 points in the first quarter and led 55-19 and were up 94-31 at the half. The game was over and their starters should never have seen the court again but he let them play into the opening minutes of the 3rd quarter. That was bush league in my book.

It's really too bad that the power conferences have so much influence. It's like a small, local business trying to compete with a big corporation...just really hard to get your product noticed.

It's 7 pm Central time but 5 pm Pacific time. Don't tune in at 7 pm our time or you'll miss the game!

The Ags will play at Kansas State on Friday, March 23rd at 5 pm Pacific time.

Of course, wishful thinking on my part...

Kansas State beat Utah 74-57 at home in Manhattan, Kansas. Now we wait and see if the WNIT will do the right game Give the Aggies another home game.

There might be more parity once the FBI finishes their investigation of cheating in college basketball and some of the big boys get busted.

I assume the WNIT selection committed makes all the decisions regarding the games.

We absolutely should get a home game, but I think you're right that the political sway that the power conferences have will probably send us on the road again.

Another great win for the Aggie women!

58-49 Aggies after 3 quarters. Go Ags get this one!

It's a tough environment they're playing in. The Wyoming fans are very vocal on the no calls and the foul calls.

38-33 Ags at the half.

20-18 Aggies after the first quarter.

This game started earlier than I thought so I'm just tuning in. You can watch the live stream here:

It was a great game to watch. UMBC was just so fearless and never let up or get conservative. Virginia had a tough time guarding UMBC's quickness and outstanding ball movement. It was just a phenomenal upset.

Wadman is the second Aggie to sign with a pro team this year. OL Christian Schneider joined the Cleveland Browns in February.

Note: updated start time:

The game at Wyoming will start at 12 pm Pacific time on Sunday.

I think the Mountain West is considered a slight step up from the Big West top to bottom but nothing significant in regards to women's basketball. The decision may have had something to do with their attendance. They averaged 2784 at home this year and, although the Aggie women draw well, we don't average that many fans.

This is another game that the Aggies can win but the game will be played in a tough environment.

Unfortunately, the Aggies have to travel to Laramie to play Wyoming at 1 pm Pacific time on Sunday even though they have a better record, 26-6 vs 22-10, and have a slightly higher rpi, #73 vs #76. So basically the Ags don't have the political pull that Wyoming has and got screwed.
