Congrats Ladies on a great season!!

[RushTogether]

As a season ticket holder it's been a lot of fun to watch you this year, and I can't wait for the future.

An amazing run in the BIG TEN Tourney
A #6 seed in the NCAA Tourney, including that great first round win.

Gonna be tough to replace Taylor. She's been Iowa's Andre Iguodala: good at pretty much everything, but not elite in any individual area (other than heart and determination). I don't really see another player like that on the roster who can step into that role.

Gonna buy season tickets and enjoy supporting the Lady HAWKS next season. Good job ladies.

Congrats, a very skilled and athletic team.

Great season ladies!

An entertaining bunch to watch. Sam Logic is the tough floor general the men's team sorely lacks. Successful season, ladies, congrats.

Yawn, another early round exit for Bluder.

Why cant the womens program take that next step?

They will get there, I predict within the next 2 years.


7 straight NCAA appearances....Hows that men's team doing at "taking the next step"??

Actually they have showed progress each of the last 4 years.

Fran's 1st year: No postseason
Fran's 2nd year: NIT appearance, loss in 2nd round
Fran's 3rd year: NIT appearance, lost in championship
Fran's 4th year: NCAA tourney appearance

Bluder's program is stagnant and not making much progress year to year. That kind of performance led to Tom Davis' contract not being renewed. If KF constantly took his teams to the Heart of Dallas Bowl year after year for the past 7 years he would probably be shown the door.

A ******* match between men's team & ladies team? Must be the off season.

Yep. Barring some recruiting news, we're about to go into a pretty dull part of the year. Cubs threads are probably about the most interesting thing to read for the next few months.
