I come in peace. Looking forward to a great game on Saturday. This writer got a few things wrong about Missouri State. First, this isn't our first NCAA appearance since 2001. It's our first appearance in the Sweet 16 since 2001, when we beat #1 Duke and advanced to our second Final Four. We made the NCAAs five times since then, but have not advanced past the first round until this year.

Second, the Lady Bears did not lose 7 of their 8 last games. A team with one senior and one active junior started the season 1-7, and then went on a 24-2 tear to reach the Sweet 16 as a #11 seed. 

We Lady Bear fans have tremendous respect for your program and look forward to a great game on Saturday in Chicago.
