Sorry, I will not be able to make it because of work. However, I can get on the internet while at work so it won't be so bad to see the updates of the scores.

According to Cream, looks like the Sunbelt will likely only to have the tourney champ dancing. Think may see 2 Sunbelt teams in the WNIT? Hope WKU makes the dance, but if they don't SDSU & WKU have a Dec. 07 game that had to be cancelled, and would enjoy playing WKU or MTSU in the later rounds

Would be nice if the Belt had two teams in the NCAAs. WKU is at 34 and MT at 44 as far as RPI goes. The conference as a whole has slipped to #14 in RPI after being top 10 last season.

No question that SBC gets atleast one team into the NIT if they do not get two into the NCAAs. UALR may have a tough time getting in, but a run to the SBC final would allow them that chance, IMO.

They should have made the NCAA Tournament last season but they chose Louisiana-Lafayette instead. WKU'S RPI was in the Mid 20s last season.

UALR would be selected before MTSU per the WNIT guidelines. UALR is the #2 seed vs #3 MTSU.

Would it be great if South Dakota State wins the WNIT? They should start etching SDSU for Summit League championship for years to come. A gold mine is emerging in Brookings, SD. The Summit League must be licking their chops to become an elite conference and everyone else in the conference must step up to your challenge. If this does not get the attention of women's basketball world, nothing will.

UALR falls to MT today...

I was hoping for a MTSU loss? That's okay. I think that WKU should be in regardless of whether they win or lose the championship game.

Jacks will have a VERY LEGITIMATE SHOT at the WNIT title, especially if we can keep home games. SDSU is on a 23 home game winning streak back to 12/30/06.

10 deep, with no drop off going to the bench. Nobody plays more than 25 min/game. Greater than 50% 3pt shooting. Graduate only two seniors (assists leader & key rebounder) but already have great replacement players redshirted and bench players. Yeah, SDSU will be the ladies power for the next several years in the Summit.
