You may be surprised to know that in March there are other sports besides men's basketball that are in season. Why would they do that? I have no idea, but they did. So here's my attempt to catch up...

Baseball: After dropping two of our first three games, we have come back and won 10 out of our last 11, swept the Dominos Pizza Classic, and took the series against Big East Champs Rutgers. Freshman pitcher Brooks Raley was named the Phillips 66 Big 12 Co-Pitcher of the Week for his 10 Ks in 7 2/3 innings against Rutgers. We are currently 11-3 with Big 12 play starting on Friday against Texas Tech.

Women's Basketball: We started out pretty shaky in conference play, loosing 4 out of 5, but since then we have won 10 our of the last 11 (same streak as in baseball, strange), and head into the Big 12 tourney ranked 11 in the last AP poll. Coach Blair thinks this team is "playing better than what we played last year going into the Big 12 tournament." Last year we came into the conference tournament ranked 1, but lost to Iowa state in the semis. The slow start this year puts us the 4 spot.

Softball: Behind Megan Gibson's pitching, we have climbed to a 3rd in the latest national poll (to be honest, I should say fall, not climb, because we were two, but that sounds stupid). Gibson has picked up three of the five Big 12 pitcher of the week awards given out so far, a USA Softball Collegiate National Player of the Week award, and a NFCA Leadoff Classic All-Tournament team honor.
