Iirc, NCAA was in charge of organizing Bus and Planes for schools for the men's tourney, so they probably had say here too.

Georgia Tech notoriously travels poorly. They even allude to it in this mini-podcast at the end of their SBNation preview: https://www.fromtherumbleseat.com/2021/3/15/22332859/georgia-tech-wbb-jackets-earn-5-seed-will-play-12-stephen-f-austin-ncaaw-tournament-san-antonio-wbb
Don't expect any good analysis though - those two have clearly never watched women's basketball...

I listened to this the other day...V and I might as well mic up for a podcast because we would do just as well as them Lol
From what I read, Tech has stretches where they can't execute offensively and they struggle. They're not a good three point shooting team so it's an offense tailor-made for our style. We can wear them down due to their thin bench and collapse the post. I am not overly concerned about their height, it's a matter of desire. We also need to shoot much better than we did in the Southland Tourney.
I know there are strict guidelines. SFA had to use three busses to take thirty people from Katy to San Antonio. Everybody on the bus had to wear a mask and a face shield. Could not sit close to each other of course.TallTexan said:

Pre Covid, GA Tech had an athletic budget of about $91 million. Temple was about $31 million.RichieVan said:
Debatable. Temple football has produced far more talent to the NFL than Georgia Tech the last 10 years and Temple Men's basketball has 33 tournament appearances and two final fours, more than double that of Georgia Tech. I would say their athletics are on par with or better than Georgia Tech, if you consider Tech a big school.

It irritates the hell out of me that sfajacks.com has all but ignored the Ladyjacks, other than the picture from Katy and an almost non-existent couple of paragraphs.
THIS IS A BIG DEAL - it damn sure should be treated as such by our local media.
Yeah, y'all know how I feel about this. WE have to change the culture, unfortunately. Ladies could win Sunday and will still be ignored. And I've just been looking for general articles to share...just a couple. If this were the men? We'd have so much more publicity. Went to a few Georgia Tech message boards & their Ladies' making the dance is buried way past the Mens Dance info.
So basically, I'm making it my personal duty to keep the Ladyjacks info poppin' on here!
I personally would like to apologize for the lack of coverage on the Twitter account of the women's team. I hope my efforts to improve have been noticed!
I think women's coverage on Twitter has been great!! Much appreciated.SFA_03 said:Pilotgirl said:djsfw57 said:

So stoked about the watch party at the Coliseum! I've been hoping they would do this for big games for a while. I know it's more comfortable at home, but getting to watch with real fans is fun.
I remember at the spring scrimmage a couple of years ago when they aired the bowling championship on the big screen during the game. Even for a few diehard football fans the energy was electric rooting for the bowling squad. I'll be there Sunday!

Well I agree that SFA and Lehigh are good upset picks, but no way we're losing to a 13 seed to keep us from the Sweet 16.
Thanks for posting this. It was a blast to read! And of course I agree with the NYT.Pilotgirl said:

Watching the Instagram live with AB and Kellogg from @sfa_athletics. She's a freshman but so engaging and articulate. What a great kid to represent the program the next few years.

I was thinking the same thing. I like her goofy personality, too!

Since we're all waiting on the game to tip off, here's a great question prompted by the NCAA's lack of effort to grow the women's game beyond lip service.
How can we grow the women's game at SFA?
A few ideas I had:
What do yall think? Where can we help the game grow at SFA/
How can we grow the women's game at SFA?
A few ideas I had:
- Alternate which team hosts double headers.
- Name brand at home opponents.
- Rob/ high level announcer(can we get Bobby back?)
What do yall think? Where can we help the game grow at SFA/
Y'all I'm soooooo nervous...haven't been this nervous in YEARS. More nervous than I am AT the games because when you're in attendance, you can tell out the nerves. Uggggh why couldn't they have allowed general admission to women games like men?! Our crowds were great for Katy a d came in clutch!
