They didn't make it past the second round, but the Lady Jackrabbits from South Dakota State University (my Alma mater) made a good showing in their first appearance in the WNCAA Basketball Tournament. Of significance is that this was their first year of eligibility since becoming a Division 1 school just a few years ago. They were 32-2 for the year, seeded 7th in the tournament and ranked 17th in the Nation. In defeating TCU in the first round, 90-55, SDSU had made 16 three-point shots, tying a WNCAA record. It was awesome to see a school such as SDSU make such a splash in the tournament. They lost to Baylor, but it was hard fought. Losing by two is so difficult, but I am sure we will see SDSU again...and hopefully the men's team will get their chance too.
