As the season approaches, and you find yourself looking for a comprehensive women's basketball television schedule, check out Kim's site. ('cause I KNOW you check out her Daily News page...daily.)

And don't forget:

The 2008-2009 women's collegiate basketball season will be tipped off in style as the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame teams up with State Farm, Intersport and ESPN to host the 2008 State Farm Tip-Off Classic on November 16. This year's Tip-Off Classic will feature Notre Dame against LSU at 2:30 p.m. (EST) and the University of Pittsburgh versus Texas A&M at 5 p.m. (EST). Both games will be played at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center at Louisiana State University and televised live on ESPN2.

"We are very excited to be in the State-Farm Tip-Off Classic, but even more excited to be hosting the event on our home floor," said Van Chancellor, LSU head coach and 2001 Women's Basketball Hall of Famer. "This is one of the premiere events of the season, and we are honored to be part of it."

LSU is committed to making the 2009 State Farm Tip-Off Classic a success. This year tickets for the Tip-Off Classic will only be $1. LSU and those involved with the Tip-Off Classic are very excited about this opportunity as it gives fans the chance to see some of the nation's best players, coaches and teams. Tickets are still available and can be purchased by calling 1-800-960-8587 or by going to the LSU site.
