WVU Women to Face Texas

Quote:The West Virginia University women’s basketball team will face Texas on Saturday in the first round of the NCAA Tournament at the Ted Constant Convocation Center in Norfolk, Va. Tipoff is scheduled for 11:10 a.m.

With this year’s eighth-seed selection, the Mountaineers (23-9) are making their fifth appearance at the NCAA tournament in the last six years and their sixth overall appearance under head coach Mike Carey. It also marks the eighth time in program history that West Virginia has advanced to NCAA tournament play.

Best of luck against the Lady Longhorns.

So, in Appalachia, what are the women's teams called? Mountainettes? Hey, I really don't know!

The women's team is called the Mountaineers. We don't see the need to distinguish between the sexes. It's visibly obvious...

The Mountaineers down the Lady Longhorns 68-55...

Good game! Good luck in the next round to the Female Mountaineers!

BTW, the TCU Horned Frogs (men's team) won their first round game against Wis. Milwaukee and will take on Ore. State in Oregon in the second round of the CBI Tourney.

(hey, I'm not exactly sure what CBI stands for but it's been a while since our men's team played in any post season tourney so wel'l take it)

CBI stands for CASH BUY IN...

Probably so!

Truth be told it stands for College Basketball Invitational. But I like my informal name, CASH BUY IN, best...

Well, it might be worthless for a program like Pitt but for TCU it was extra games and extra practice for the young players we have coming back next year. The way things have been around our basketball program we need to accent whatever success we can get. We haven't had a decent team since we had a young player named Jamie Dixon on our team. Just kidding, of course.

If I had been in charge at Pitt, I'd have turned down the CBI...
