Monday, March 29, 2010

Saturday’s WNIT Championship will be televised nationally on CBS College Sports, and the game will begin at 2 p.m. EST April 3.

The four teams playing in the semifinals are Cal, Miami, Michigan, and Illinois State.

7 p.m. EST Wednesday, March 31
Miami - Shenise Johnson had a career-high 33 points and 10 rebounds to lead the University of Miami women's basketball team to a 73-65 victory over host Providence. It's the deepest postseason run in Hurricanes women's basketball history.

at Michigan - The Wolverines blew out Syracuse, 78-52: “I hope we’re building a fanbase with these wins,” Michigan coach Kevin Borseth said. “There’s nothing going on Wednesday, nothing on TV. I hope we get a lot of people here, 13 grand, just pack the house. I’d love to see that.”


Thursday, April 1 8:05 p.m. EST
Cal - The Bears trounced BYU, 76-50.

Illinois State, - the Redbirds defeated Illinois in front of 4,459, second largest in program history.
That put a lump in the throat of seventh-year Redbird coach Robin Pingeton as she emerged from the locker room shortly before game time.

“It made me emotional walking out and seeing so many fans in that upper bowl and the lower bowl as full as it was,” Pingeton said. “The energy that they brought to our team today was really something special.
“It only took us seven years to finally get to the point we had that kind of atmosphere. But trust me, I’m not complaining. I’m very appreciative of the fans who came out.”
