Seems like the Evansville community does not turn out as well as the Sioux Falls community does for the Summit League tournament.

I saw the Western Pep Band, Cheerleaders, and Rocky during the ESPN + telecast.  Were the Pom Squad / Dance Team and Golden Motion at the game ???   I did not see them.

At times it seemed like both Pep Bands were playing at the same time.  I don't remember that happening at the Summit League Tournament.  
 

Yeah, 500 people in the ford center certainly feels a lot more empty than 500 at Western Hall. Hopefully the men’s games are a bit more well-attended.

Only the band and cheerleaders made the trip. I know the conference limits the bands to 35 members, so maybe that’s why we didn’t send the dancers too.

And yes, there were times we were playing at the same time as TTU’s band. The people on the headset organizing things specifically were telling the bands to both play their fight songs at the same time. We were pretty confused about it too.

For the past few years, the Summit League Tournament had a competition involving each school's dance team.  Something for the OVC to think about.

I feel like Tennessee State would just win that every year.

Disappointed in season ending loss, but wish my best to the Seniors not returning and the players who may choose to not return.

Tenn-Martin will get the automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament as Southern Indiana is ineligible due to they are still in the process of moving up to D1 

Championship game:

Tennessee-Martin is a #16 seed in the NCAA Tournament.  They will play #16 Holy Cross in a First Four game in Iowa City.  The game will be at 8:00 PM on Thursday.

Southern Indiana will be playing in the Women's NIT.
