I think for a change we got a very favorable spot. My only complaint would be that the game is so far away and may be difficult to get fans there. Positive is that it is going to be far for Gonzaga as well.
I really hope there will be somewhere to watch the entire game. I fear the game is going to be that POS whip-around coverage that ESPN loves to do.

The A&M fans will be arriving during the second half of our game.

It will be whip-around coverage. Every game is available on ESPN3/WatchESPN online, that will be the only option to see the entire game.

How bad does it suck to be Bowling Green. A week ago they were ranked 25th. Then they lost in their conference tourney and today get snubbed by the selection committee.

Would've absolutely happened to the Dukes as well....the message? Be a power conference team or expect the NIT if you don't win your conference tournament.

The NCAA does a great disservice to their product by disallowing teams like BG from getting into the tournament. No wonder there is a chasm building. The men's tournament is great because of the parody and possible upsets. The women's tournament needs to allow more teams from other conferences not name "power" conferences. Build your product by inclusion, not exclusion. Then maybe, just maybe, the women's tournament will gain more popularity. As a WBB fan, I find it disturbing and well, disheartening that they would act the way they are and not give a chance to teams that deserve it, but then allow some just above .500 team from a "power" conference in. Making a great product into a poor one.

I honestly never watch the women's tournament unless the dukes are in it. The round of 32 or later are boring and unwatchable because they set it up in a way to discourage upsets.
If you want my viewership, please stop ushering in the same four schools to the final four every single year.

I think the committee saw two exceptional teams that could make noise and they didn't want them to be close to home to be that noise. So they send both teams to tx knowing that one will lose early and the other would have a difficult time advancing.

I really don't think that much thought was put into it to be honest.
