Initial Thoughts: The women's team is headed to the Sweet 16 after 2 DOMINATING wins this weekend. Tonight, the Lady Ag's handled Hartford easily posting a 64-39 win. It is absoulutely amazing how much our men's and women's team have grown in the past 4 years. Both teams have gone to the tourney 3 consecutive years!

Why we won: (1)The women pulled out to a controlling 34-19 halftime lead which gave them a nice cushion down the stretch. (2) The Lady Ag's forced Hartford into 25 turnovers. (3) We had 34 points in the paint compared to 16 by Hartford

A&M Player of the Game: DANIELLE GANT - Gant scored 21 points on 9 of 11 shooting, grabed 2 rebounds, and also had 3 steals. Gant helped push the Ag's to next weeks Sweet 16 which just happens to be Gant's hometown.

What does it mean? It means the Lady Ag's will face Duke next weekend hoping to advance to the Elite 8. The only other Sweet 16 visit for the Lady Ag's was in 1994. Tonights win also marked the 11th straight for the women.

Thoughts on the Stats: I like our chances anytime we force 25 TO's and have 14 steals.
