The Lady Rockets tried to repeat their past WNIT success after their sad panda loss to CMU in the MAC tournament. Their first WNIT game was against Butler last Thursday. Here are some pictures from that game.
They played the Penguins of Youngstown State on Saturday.
We’ve gone out for the Fan Tunnel the last few games. From where we lined up for the tunnel, I took a few pictures of the captains talking to the refs. Here’s a picture of Lecretia staring into my soul:
The team before the game:

(It is no good now.)
Brian and I did some crafting we’ve been talking about for a while:
Here’s how Brian’s project came out:
And mine (mine is all Lady Rocket tickets; Brian’s is ALL THE SPORTS):
We had to wait until Monday night for Eastern Illinois and Illinois to play, so that we would know who we were playing when/where. Gossip said that if Illinois won, they would host the game. However, Illinois won their game, and the Illinois-UT game was played at Savage last night.

Illinois defeated my beloved Rockets, and our super fun (though admittedly still kind of disappointing) season came to an end. Also, despite the 2 practice senior night/last games/cries we’ve already been through, this really was it. Five seniors, including everyone’s favorite Israeli, are done, and there’s still a looming threat of Coach Cullop leaving for OSU, or, I suppose, anywhere else. Here’s a collection of sad things:
Sad scoreboard:
Sad coach talk:
Super duper sad foreigners:
