I believe Louisville was their nemesis last year, so that is a huge win!

Last couple of years actually. The Ville was just slightly better than MU and kept them from getting their 1st BE Championship. Lot of frustration cleansed from their systems tonight. Congrats Bond!

The NCAA seeds the top 16 but then fills in the rest of the bracket for geographical purposes. (ie, save on travel)

They are currently ranked #8 in the country.
There are 64 teams in the tourney.
Next up MU faces the winner of the Illinois vs Morehead State match.

I have known one of their All-American hopefuls, Elizabeth "Bisky" Koberstein since she was probably 3 years old. Bisky was named the Big East Player of the Year!!!!"When March Madness spills into April.... that's the gravy!" - Homer Simpson

MU is ranked...but they're not seeded in the tournament. Illinois is the #13 overall seed.

Interesting that MU is not seeded but Illinois is, seeing how MU is ranked 8th and Illinois 20th!

IWB, the #8 ranking is RPI I believe. Think they are rated something like #23 in the national rankings. They played a killer non-conference schedule, including 3 teams in the top 5(Penn St., Florida and USC). That is why their RPI has been so good all season. Originally Posted by Jim Ganzer, "IWB"
