Wisconsin-Green Bay, on the other hand, may make the Big Dance no matter what. The no. 23 Phoenix hasn't lost since Dec. 11; last night they beat Cleveland State in Green Bay, assuring at least a share of a regular-season conference title.

Abby Scharlow, who transferred from CSU in 2000, just missed a triple-double; she calls never losing to her old school "one of my goals."

UWGB coach Kevin Borseth says the team shouldn't relax: the NCAA "selection committee isn't kind to the Horizon League." In non-conference play, UWGB lost consecutive squeakers to Minnesota and Wisconsin, but defeated Marquette, Auburn and Illinois.
