More than a week ago, Fort Hays State women’s basketball coach Tony Hobson made this prediction about the NCAA Division II regional in Hays:


That’s exactly how it played out.  Emporia State defeated Pittsburg State over the weekend, so the second-seeded Lady Hornets and top-seeded Tigers will square off for the fourth time this season tonight (MON).  Emporia State won the last meeting to capture the MIAA tournament title in Kansas City.  Meanwhile, Division I Wichita State women have to wait until tonight (MON) to learn their NCAA tournament destination. The Shockers won the automatic bid over the weekend.
