We beat Duke 77-63 and advance to our first ever regional final (in men's basketball the regional final is called the elite eight, but all of the articles about this win say we advance to the regional final, strange).

After playing all 20 min of the first half, and scoring eight, All-Big 12 player Danielle Gant had to receive intravenous fluids for treat dehydration, and did not return. Coach Blair told the trainers "if she's dizzy, I'm sick." It was no matter. In the second half Patrice Reado scored all of her 17 points, and pushed a four point halftime lead into double digits about half way through the second half, and kept it there for the remainder of the game.

We face Tennessee in the Elite Eight regional finals. Coach Blair kept up his if-she-then-I jokes when asked about Gant's status for the game, saying that "she better be available or I'm not going to be available." Oh Gary, your a hoot.
