Christmas in February!

It's that time of the year again, no it's not Christmas (I lied in in the title) but for us Lady Petrels fans it sure as hell feels like it because tomorrow at noon your Lady Petrels will take on the defending National Champs; the DePauw University Tigers. DePauw will come into the Dorough Field House tomorrow undefeated in SCAC play, ranked #8 in the country and boasting a record of 21 wins and 3 losses. But guess what? Your Lady Petrels come into tomorrow's action with a record of 21 wins and 3 losses and ranked #25 in the country. This game is gonna be great. You couldn't ask for a better game to end the conference regular season.

DePauw got the better of our beloved Petrels in Greencastle earlier this season by a final score of 75-63. However, playing in Atlanta at the Dorough Field House is a whole other story. Last time DePauw game to Dorough, they lost!! That's right, think back to Sunday January 7, 2007...you there yet?, well I'm there and the crowd was awesome and the Lady Petrels took it to the #5 nationally ranked DePauw Tigers and came away with a 2 pt victory, a buzzer beater!...It was great!

Let's go for the repeat tomorrow afternoon. What a great victory this would be going into the conference tournament next weekend. See you folks tomorrow, or listen live via the Petrel Sports Network if you can't make it to the game.

Status Report

Sorry for my lack of blogness the past month, I've been working hard to feed my dog and myself, but I have some down time currently and would like to take a minute to spread the word about the Lady Petrels.

Currently the Petrels are sitting at second place in the SCAC Eastern Division, 2 games behind DePauw. The good news is that we get DePauw one more time this season, the bad news is that we can only control our destiny so much. We need DePauw to lose another game somewhere in order to take first place in the East. Last week vs. Trinity was our best opportunity for that to happen, but DePauw got the best of TU.

In two weeks DePauw comes to Atlanta for a little visit with our Lady Petrels. Mark your calendar for February 24th and make sure to free up some time to come see this game live at the Dorough Field House or listen live via the Petrel Sports Network (click on the listen live link). OU will be looking to avenge their loss earlier this season in Greencastle and they will need all of the support that we can provide. The game will be great, the atmosphere will be great, and it's also Senior Night(or day), so Ms. Corbett will possibly be making her final home appearance for the Lady Petrels. I say "possibly" because with only three losses on the seaosn we are still in the hunt for the NCAA tournament and hopefully hosting a first round game. We'll have to see.

Let's shift gears for a second as I want to remind everyone of tonights match-up between our Lady Petrels and the Tigers of the University of the South (Sewanee). We got the better of Sewanee a few weeks ago up in TN, but Sewanee is gonna be out for revenge tonight. This is a game that the Lady Petrels can win handily, however, it's conference play and you just never know...

So hopefully I'll see you guys tonight at 6PM at the Dorough Field House but if you can't make it be sure to tune as we bring the game live over the internet on the Petrel Sports Network.
