Congrats to the ladies on a terrific season so far!!

The #7 ranking is the highest in program history -- they were ranked #8 earlier this year, and I believe they also finished #8 in the 2000-2001 season following the Elite Eight run.

EDIT: Oh yeah, we're ahead of tOSU now too -- that's always nice to see!

Congrats to the ladies, need to hold mon to that spot. Since the A-10 doesn't exactly garner respect the way the Big 12, Big East or ACC does, they'll need to win out, or lose no more than one regular season. I had a nice chat with Coach Neighbors, sounds like they are hoping for/expecting a number 3 seed, I think that is well within their grasp now.
Our conference RPI is slipping a little bit, to be expected, now we're at #9 behind Mountain West and Colonial, looking at the numbers it appears we're at best a 2 team conference. Temple has fallen off significantly, no fault of their own, they just had a string against the +200's. Maybe Bobbie can pick up the slack and help us out by winning out.

In any case, Congrats, lots to be proud of, Coach K-Mac has put together an awesome group, top to bottom the best in the history of the program, and they are clicking on all cylinders. The strength really comes in the depth, while our starting 5 is fantastic, the next 3 in are doing a fantastic job of holding things together, you really don't see a drop off when the starters get a break.

Just look at the list, that's some pretty fine company up there!!
