It was a great game. Why, the Phoenix actually had a player foul out of the game. When does that happen? I would have preferred that the Norse win, but Green Bay turned it on when they needed to. The announcers also mentioned that the NKU coach coached with Green Bay Coach Kevin Borseth when he was head coach at Michigan. She's had an impressive record at NKU, and if this season is any indication, NKU is a good add for the league in women's basketball.

Dawn Plitzuweit was almost the hire when we went with Kyle. I knew I recognized the name, so I went back in my records and sure enough, she was one of the final three.

GB 38 Milwaukee 18 Halftime
Looks like our AD will be spared the tough decision of whether or not to accept the automatic bid...

Hopefully they can pick it up in the 2nd half.

Looks like our kids have met their match and then some, unfortunately, but it was a nice run.
Meanwhile, anyone notice that there are -- gasp -- FANS in the gym? I wonder if this concept of holding champ games on the campus of the highest seed could work for men's basketball too!

Actually that's just how it worked out.
Green Bay put in the bid to host the tourney.
They would have hosted had they finished last.

Not the best stage on which to play one of their worst games of the season, especially after beating a Wright State team that took Green Bay to overtime in last year's championship.
The Panthers did not "meet their match" in the Phoenix; it was an old-fashioned whipping.
But it's on to the WNIT, so the Panthers get a chance to play at least one more game and finish the season on a better note.

Will the Panthers accept a bid to the Women's Basketball Invitational?

They'll get better. Sent from my SCH-R970 using proboards They made a huge step forward this season. They suprised a lot of people, me included, though Coach Rechliz and her staff probably weren't surprised. The newcomers next year are supposed to be pretty good. But for the moment, the current squad gets to play in the post-season, so they will practice and play at least one more game, which can help the team get better for next year. It's got to be gratifying for Sydney Howard, having been through three years of rebuilding, with so little sucess in those three years, to see some of the success the program was building toward. Jordyn Swan will have another year, provided she is able to come back from another serious knee injury.

How are you so sure they get into the WNIT Sent from my SCH-R970 using proboards Scott Warras mentioned it in today's radio broadcast. He had done so in an earlier broadcast as well. If the Panthers aren't going dancing, blame him for misleading us all. Actually, here's a link to "current field" for the WNIT: www.womensnit.com/current-field.htmlNineteen of the thirty-two autobids (one to each qualifying conference) have been awarded. The Panthers are listed as the Horizon League's auto bid.

Automatic Berths A team offered an automatic berth by the WNIT shall be the team that is a.) the highest-finishing team in its conference’s regular-season standings, and b.) is not selected for the NCAA Tournament. A team that fulfills these qualities will earn the WNIT automatic berth for its respective conference, regardless of overall record.
