Are we hosting the next game, or does it depend on the opponent? I'd love to play the whole thing at home.

A close one between South Dakota-TCU.  My guess is one of these schools put in a decent offer on a bid for the semifinal home game, and that's why we have yet to hear if IU is playing at home or not. Stay tuned.

I did some research on South Dakota. They're 29-6 overall, 17-1 at home. They won the WNIT two years ago, and brought in 7,415 fans for the final game. They've hosted each of their four games so far. My guess is we're headed to the Great Plains if they win this evening.

Last I saw was with 2:49 left they were down by 2 to TCU.

It's not real time scoring so I presume the game is now over.  With 29 sec. left, TCU up by 5.  Based on your research, a TCU win might bode well for IU.

TCU (24-12) defeats South Dakota 79-71 so we know who our next opponent is just not when and where the game will be played.

A couple of supposed transfer candidates supporting the University.

I like it. And I suppose no news is good news.

I know many of us are disappointed this team couldn't make the NCAA's, but I think this WNIT run has provided a good chance to cultivate local interest in the program, much more so than one or two games in the NCAA tournament would have. Obviously the goal should still be the bigger tourney, but getting these crowds to show up for the games hasn't hurt.

That, and winning this title would be a big boost to show progress. UConn is going to win the NCAA tournament every year anyway.

I'm so psyched!  I rearranged (ok, cancelled, lol) a meeting so that my youngest daughter and I can go to the game!  I am so excited to see (hopefully) a record crowd for the women.
