I wonder if Drake gave us a defensive look that confused us; I don't know, just guessing.

So as I understand it, there will be not only the traditional WNIT taking 48 teams, but the new NCAA-sponsored WBIT taking another 32. I'm going to guess the WBIT will be power conference teams only, perhaps with some mid-major regular season champs that didn't survive their tournaments?

I hated the end of regulation play. We needed to get the ball to Grace or have Maya make something happen.

I took a gander over at Mizzous message board just to check on how they all felt bout Carter..fwiw..it gave me a good chuckle to see all their distaste for him.

The Gazette's Jeff Lindner stating on his Twitter page that Riley Wright in in the transfer portal. AFAIK she hasn't been with the team for a month or so. Also in the portal, Bradley's Halli Poock, a 5'4" freshman from Waterloo.

Poock is really, really good but there are some family/attitude concerns there. No doubt she'd be great on the court but I don't know how well she fits with the team.

There was one week where coach Oakland filled in for coach Warren on the Monday presser, which was after we'd played Bradley. He talked like the team and staff were all familiar with her.

Riley left the team in January…

Riley left the team in January…

Under less than happy circumstances, presumably. I could see her being frustrated with lack of playing time. She was a bright spot when Iowa thumped us.

MVC rotating two additional sites into the mix for the championship tournament:

I love that it's coming to Xtream Arena. Plenty of places to stay, eat and drink. It's a more intimate arena and should make a better environment.

Drake and UNI are the only ones that show up anyway, might as well make it an easier drive.
