I REALLY hope the women don't have to go to East Lansing or another road P-5 court, as they've done I think every time they've been in the WNIT. Remember, Toledo won the whole shebang a few years ago, beating USC in the final at Savage before 8000.
Have been waiting for that since 2001, when Bonzi Wells and his Ball State team finished Runner up. BTW, they beat both Kansas AND...UCLA in that event!!

PDX is my third home, but as @Captain Kangaroo can confirm, the last time the Zips played there - 2009 vs Gonzaga - I wasn't able to attend either! And this will be another missed opportunity as my cardiologist has me lined up for an operation that I scheduled back when the NCAA tournament was a pipe dream! Mahalo to John Groce and the team for showing me not to count my chickens before they're hatched. And now I have extra motivation to recover quickly!
Surprised I never heard anyone mention this but... "Do you know how hard it is to beat the same team three times in a row?" 😉
I don't know for sure, but I can't remember either of these teams beating the other three consecutive times in the past 10+ years!
Wow! Amazingly and surprisingly close MAC Women's Championship game. 65-60 Bulls, with Dyaisha at 28 with 6+minutes to play. Ball State really putting up a battle. I think Jordyn getting the POY really inspired Fair. She went over the 2000 career point mark today and has a year left. Cece's record will likely fall!
