    Yep, our whole team, staff, etc was on the 'meningitis pill' for quite some time after that game...

      You mean like going 31-2 and getting shipped to Texas?

        Sort of...but we didn't have to play on TCU's home court that year.

          OTOH, we were sent a lot farther away, and were (AFAIK) ranked higher. But, water under the bridge, right? Just need to finish the events center and buy us some home games.

            The Jacks can't afford to get off to the cold starts that they often have. They probably will not be able to come back from 17 down against Purdue.

I'm in, so who else is going? Oh yea, getting up at and hitting the road at 4 am to get there in plenty of time.
                Flying to Albuquerque with my wife on Thursday Morning from Omaha if the men lose have open ended ticket, so will make my return flight to Chicago Friday Morning stay with relatives and go to Woman's game on Saturday and ride back with Jacks1. Now if the men win I am staying in Albuquerque for that game.

                      At least we didn't get a draw like Green Bay did. They are the 7 seed and play Iowa State a 10 seed in Ames, Iowa

                        Her name is Drey Mingo,their best post player,who was lost for the year due to injury.I read their board all the time.

                        KK Houser (recruited in our back yard , neb.)is really quick, but kinda wild,Britany Rayburn is streaky shooting the three(mINN players didn't challenge her enough and she made them pay)
                        Poston 5'10"gaurd ,can be good scorer ,Jones, Howard, role players, both have had good scoring games , and not so good games scoring,depends on, in my opinion , how they match up with the player/players defending them.
                        Ostarello scoring more of late ,but she,s the best rebounder.
                        Without Mingo,they.re beatable if we can get our inside /outside game going.We have to match thier intensity on defense(they're really good defensively)and be relaxed when shooting the three.
                        They,ve self described thier own team as being offensively challenged, but that was earlier in the season .
                        They had one game they should have won, but they lost to Central Michigan,who just lost to Eastern Mich in the conference championship game and is the # 11 seed in our region.
                        If we can play confidently,and let the nerves settle,we'll have a good chance to win.Forgot to mention Moses,she can shoot anddrive and dish, but she's kind of short,so has a hard time shooting over taller gaurds,who can stay with her.
                        DD Williams is thier best defender,but can't score much,so they use her like a defensive specialist(they put her on the oppositions best player).They are a mirror image of us in that i was often reminded of the J acks when they talked about their team.When we had a turnover problem, they did too,both teams seem better at controlling the ball now.Like us,they sub a lot,and they've recieved a little critisizem(sp)from some posters for making poor choices of who to send in at certain timesand for certain situations,like taking all the scorers out when the game is winding down and on the line.....stuff like that.
                        This is long, but it gives you some idea of what their team is about and who some of the players are.They try to play hard the whole game,they wear you down,this game might go to the team that has the deepest bench.

                        correction: Guyton 6'3" F,Poston 5'10 gaurd(got those two mixed up)

                                Interesting to see Megan in a red uniform. I assume that is here High School Uni. You would think they could have found a picture of here in college. Of couse she has not played much.
