Selection Monday
Good luck to WKU on getting a respectable seed. I see MTSU has a women's NIT bid already, and I'm assuming a couple other schools (USM and Charlotte) might be in the running for a women's NIT bid too?
Any thoughts from La Tech and ODU fans on a chance for postseason play? I have heard that the Rice women also submitted a bid to host a postseason game, which I'm assuming is the WBI tournament.

RE: Selection Monday
One of my USM sources says that we look to host in the NIT. He is usually right, so I will go with that. However....

At 17-14 with a 136 RPI and Charlotte (120) as a best win, I'd be somewhat surprised if ODU got a bid. Though I suppose with an average attendance of 2,321 this season, perhaps that gives them a puncher's chance if the committee wants first-round games with four-digit attendance. But I don't know if that ever factors in.
No clue if they'd consider the WBI, though it'd be nice if Jennie Simms got another chance to put on the uniform.

RE: Selection Monday
WKU sitting at a 12 seed seems right. Decent RPI of 35. 4-4 against the top 100, with 1 sub 150 loss. Better than Belmont, Gonzaga, Qunnipiac, Penn, Chat, and Boise. Charlie Creme has my Rockets at a 13 seed and we are 8-7 vs. the top 100 and 0 sub 150 losses. WBB is all politics.

Real time's bracket predictor says 79-78 osu. giving wku a 47.5% chance. Looking at who they have played i fully expect western to win this thing.

It's winnable. Getting a chance to play UK in the 2nd round in Lexington would be a blast. Of course, we gotta win the first game and UK has to beat Belmont.

RE: Selection Monday
I'll be rooting for you WKU. Beat Ohio State.
Also happy for our teams in WNIT. Post season for the Techsters is a great rebuilding moment. We finally have a good coach. Happy for USM and MTSU too. Hope one of our teams can win it.
