Maybe they asked the selection committee or 2 home games before going on the road.  ;D

Beat in 1st/2nd round of Big Sky conference tourney. Can't get picked off like that. Look at their SOS, and Games vs top 50, Lady Griz nothing great. Even with only 2 losses, Griz behind Rabbits in several polls/RPI's

Re: WNIT

Probably not the place for this, but I use to watch the Keiser girl from Drake when she played for Okoboji. I guess playing against Candice Parker and Tennesse won't be that much different than playing against Rock Rapids and Boyden-Hull!!

Likely. The Griz were one of three potentially better teams that could have been in WNIT if picked off in conference tourney.

Someone must have had to pay for the sins of the father (aka athletic dept.) because there could not have been much karma left around Missoula..........

Re: WNIT

Is Lousiana Tech the only school that has declined a WNIT bid this year?

Good news is that WNIT doesn't necessarily follow the RPI ratings for seeding. Greenfield states in his explanations about the various systems that GREENFIELDS POWER rating is used by WNIT, and most closely matched seedings in 2006 NCAA BB tourney.
