Did anyone else watch this game today? Rice beat MTSU for the Conference USA Tourney title. Rice has been on a roll this season, currently on a 21 game winning streak, 2nd in the country to Baylor and tied with Quinnipiac. Also currently ranked 24 in the country.
Rice has been bolstered by transfers in Nancy Mulkey (transferred from Oklahoma) Nicole Iademarco (from Arizona State) and Erica & Olivia Ogwumike (from Pepperdine, yes the younger sister's of Nneka and Chiney), although Olivia hasn't played much this year, I am assuming she is injured. Erica O. was the Conference player of the year, while Mulkey was defensive player of the year. Mulkey seems to fit in to Rice's system pretty well as she was also named the Tournament MVP and dropped 24 points today. Sorry for babbling, but all this to say, these two teams could have some interesting battles next year.
MTSU will have Rellah next year (assuming she recovers from her ACL injury) and Tennessee transfer Anastasia Hayes, as well as one of Hayes younger sister's who will be a freshman next year.
Doesn't have much to do with our horns, but the obvious connection with Rellah and Big 12 with Mulkey. Also just something to talk about until selection Monday.
