nice dominating win for the ladies after losing 3-straight matches to ranked opponents. Good luck to them next weekend out in El Paso as they play very good NMSU and UTEP teams.

The team has 5 remaining Conference Matches for the season. I think realistically they will go 3-2 with the losses to FIU and Denver who are bith ranked Top 50. The team has already played 3 nationally ranked teams in TCU #32 (loss 6-1, with several spilt sets), Tx Tech #68 (bad 6-1 loss), and Nevada #68 (loss 4-3). Also Tulsa is ranked #42 right now. Would like to see team go out 8-4 or 9-3 and grab the #4-5 seed at the Belt tournament. #1-3 should be FIU, Denver, USA, then could be Troy or NT followed by MTSU, UALR, FAU, ASU, ULM all tightly packed in.

Remaining Schedule:

Sat, Feb 23 New Mexico State - at Las Cruces, N.M. 12 p.m. Hard team to match-up, although they have nothing impressive in wins. They did beat CSU 4-3 on Saturday but got blasted by their 2 ranked opponents. UNT won 4-3, with a 3-set win at Line #6

Sun, Feb 24 UT-El Paso - at El Paso, TX 11 a.m. Hard team to figure out as they are 5-1 but no real good teams played. Believe will be a win but will be tight. They did beat ASU 5-2 UNT lost 4-3 again coming down to Line #6, but lost in 3rd set.

Fri, Mar 07 Air Force - at Denver, CO 5 p.m. They have not won a match yet with losses to UTPA and Texas State, as well as to TX Tech 6-1 and Denver 6-1, they play ASU today.

#41 Sat, Mar 08 Denver - at Denver, CO 1:30 p.m. Will be a tough match but should be competitive maybe a 5-2, not quite with the yet.

Fri, Mar 14 Southern Illinois - Denton, TX 3 p.m. should be a victory, they play ASU and UTA prior to the ladies

Tue, Mar 18 Florida Atlantic - at Boca Raton, FL 3 p.m. This should be a win as they have not won a match yet but every team has been ranked including a Top 5 D2 school. Will be curious to see the TN Tech on the 3/7 as I have seen TN Tech play in person.

#33 Thu, Mar 20 Florida International - at Miami, FL 3 p.m. Will be a major test and show the vast difference between #1 in the Belt and NT right now, expect a 6-1 FIU victory but hope to be wrong.

Sun, Mar 23 Marquette - Denton, TX 2 p.m. Another tricky team 1-6 on season but all 6 losses were to ranked opponents, but think it will be a win.

Fri, Mar 28 Louisiana-Monroe - Denton, TX 3 p.m. Should not be a tough match as they are on par with UALR, nobody dangerous on their team.

Sat, Apr 05 Houston - at Tulsa, OK 11 a.m. This needs to be a win for confidence prior to Tulsa match. Note a former NT player is on this team.

Sun, Apr 06 #42 Tulsa - at Tulsa, OK 11 a.m. Will be a tough match but not unwinnable if the ladies are healthy. tulsa has put a beating on common opponents of UTA (5-2), UALR and SFA (6-0). Tulsa does also play ULL, MTSU, USA and FIU in the futre prior to match with UNT.

Sat, Apr 12 Arkansas State - Denton, TX 12 p.m. not to worried again as they are similar to MTSU and UALR which the team dominated, lost to NW State and UTEP

      On a scale of 1 to 10...How would you rate this season so far?

      Fair. I'd have given a 7 for winning the regular season AAC title and/or making today's game. Two things I think were necessary to be a strong at-large candidate. Contention for an NIT home game is below what I think we're capable of at this point. With all that McCasland and Hodge accomplished here, I think it's fair to draw the line at NCAA at-large bids when evaluating how successful the season was. We haven't been an at-large yet but getting such a bid would be a clear indication of national respect.

      Money, It Just Means More

      Almost every team in the top 25 has transfers in their starting 5. Rubin Jones started and played 29 minutes for Michigan yesterday. He'll likely start today in the BIG 10 finals. The other 4 starters for Michigan are first year transfer Goldin, first year transfer Wolf, first year transfer Donaldson, and 2nd year transfer Burnett. In other words, all transfers and 4 in their first season with Michigan and a new head coach. St Johns won the Big East yesterday with two first year transfers starting, one of which is Aaron Scott, and two second year transfers also starting. Two of their bench rotational guys are first year transfers and their 3rd rotational guy transferred in two seasons ago. I'm not going to excuse poor early season performance because transfers and chemistry and stuff. These highmajor schools make it work. Figure it out. What kills me is the amount of teams winning with mid-major transfers when those same players couldn't make the big dance as an at-large at their mid-major schools. Why does a player gain more respect the second he puts on a Big East, Big 10, Big 12, or SEC patch? If Florida and Michigan win today, the AAC will have lost transfers who started for the Big 10, Big East, and SEC champions. Maybe the committee should start respecting where those players come from, not just where they've gone to.

      I gave us a 7, which would be the same score I'd give if we lost today to Memphis. Winning the autobid...an 8. Any win in the Dance makes it a 9. Two wins or more...an unqualified 10. If we were to win to make the NIT semis or final...probably an 8. Winning the NIT, the season is probably a 9.

      Softball versus Wichita State

      Down 6-0 in the bottom of the 4th inning. Skylar gives up 5 earned runs in 2 innings pitched. Relieved by Anderson. We're not gonna win 30% of our conference games....if Skylar is our #1 pitcher.

      A 9, which is about where we were projected to be in the AAC in preseason polls. Unless UAB upsets Memphis I expect Hodge to be AAC coach of the year. And who knows. If we have a better team next year maybe fewer fans will shown up than this year.
