This team is extremely talented and should have a great year. Are they as good as #7? I guess only time will tell. They will be tested early on so we'll see.

We are solid/much above average at C, PF, and PG. SG is what concerns me most right now.

Sounds like a great year to be hosting the NCAA's?

However, as host, is their some rule that says our own team can't be sent to Cintas Center, similar to the way the men can't get sent to their home arena. If they can be sent to Cintas Center, that would just be icing on the cake to get potentially two more home games. The women have struggled gettng over that NCAA 1st game hurdle recently, maybe being able to stack the deck by being able to have the game on our own campus with all our fans in the house will be what is needed to get to that Sweet 16 game!

No in Womans Tourney they always have the home team at their site for first two rounds, it is so they can bring in the crowds that they would not get if they sent them like the men's tourney....I believe once they get to the sweet 16 then they move them from home sites....

You are exactly right "xurunner" I recall there being some talk about eliminating the home floor advantage, lucky for XU it hasn't happened yet.

Byt the way, did anyone see shannon russel's blog on this story?
