USA Today's Kelly Whiteside recently visited with Army's women's basketball team. The team knows there will be difficult moments this season, but they also believe that Maggie Dixon will still be with them and they will be playing for her.

Dave Magarity is back coaching because of Dixon and will now lead her team this season. Before becoming Dixon's associate head coach last season, Magarity had moved away from coaching. But a four hour dinner with Dixon changed all that.

Jamie Dixon's team will lead off the Maggie Dixon Classic on November 12 at West Point. Pitt will take on Western Michigan in their season opener. Ohio State will play Army in the women's game. Jamie says the plan is to make it an annual event for women's basketball at Madison Square Garden.

"It's going to be a very emotional game with all her family here," says Army junior guard Margaree "Redd" King. "But at the same time we're going to play our hearts out, and Ohio State better watch out. We will play with the spirit she instilled in us and coach (Dave) Magarity (her successor) is carrying on."
