Interesting.....

"The last two WBI championships were won by Horizon League schools as Detroit won in 2013, while UIC earned the tournament title last season."

Also interesting....

Last season, UIC was seeded fourth in the HL tournament, and lost in the HL Final Four (sound familiar?)....and went on to win the WBI.

Seeing how we played in our non-conference against some very formidable competition, I do believe we can make some noise in a 16 team tournament such as the WBI.

As an aside, YSU is hosting the PIAA State Semi's Tuesday Night as Farrell and Kennedy Catholic meet for the 4th time on the year. They sold out this game the 3 previous times in smaller venues, but the fact it is a PA state semi and will be highly publicized across the region, I think this game may end up having a larger crowd than any YSU mens or womens game this year!

Weird that PA would be playing this game in OH but I'll take it! Great recruiting tool.

Getting off topic but, way back when, Wilmington played Sharon in FB at YSU to handle the crowd.

When should we learn if the women will be playing again?
