On The Road Again

Southeastern is one of four Lone Star Conference teams that will be taking part in the NCAA Div. II Tournament. J.B. and I are on the way to Amarillo, Texas, today where we will be staying before heading to West Texas A&M in Canyon tomorrow. WTAMU is the #1 seed in the South Central Region and the Aggies are playing host to the eight-team field. Abilene Christian also made the field as the #8 seed. You can see the full bracket here.
The Savage Storm women are the #6 seed in the region and will face a familiar foe in the first round in the #3 seed Central Oklahoma Bronchos. SOSU and UCO split the two games they played in the Lone Star North Division schedule, with the home team winning each time. And both teams were eliminated from the conference tournament by the same team - West Texas A&M. WTAMU beat Southeastern 95-65 in the semis and then took out Central 66-59 to win the championship (their 3rd in 4 years!).
Southeastern is making its first trip the NCAA Tournament since 2002. The then-Lady Savages lost in the LSC semis that year and then went on a five-game winning streak which took them al the way to the NCAA Div. II title game. SOSU lost that game to Cal-Poly Pomona 74-62 in Rochester, MN.
The game tomorrow will be broadcast on KSEO 750 AM. Tip is at 1:00 pm and our pre-game will start at 12:50.
