On the women's side of the NCAA basketball tournament, Kansas and Kansas State were among the field of 64 announced last (MON) night. Both were selected as at-large teams. The Jayhawks' chances of making the tournament were in doubt after losing their leading scorer for the rest of the season. Senior Carolyn Davis injured her knee last month in KU's game at K-State. As KPR's Greg Echlin reports, the KU women struggled down the stretch without her.
Eleventh-seeded KU will take on sixth-seeded Nebraska Sunday night at 6:30 in Little Rock, Arkansas. Eighth-seeded K-State meets 9th-seeded Princeton Saturday morning at 10:30 in Bridgeport, Connecticut.
Elsewhere...in a Division II women's regional final last (MON) night, Pittsburg State defeated Emporia State, 79-67, to advance to the Elite Eight next week in San Antonio.
