Purdue Women make it into the NCAA tournament

The Purdue Lady Boilers earned an 11 seed spot in the NCAA tournament to face the 6 seed Oklahoma Sooners on Saturday.

After a 20 loss record, finishing last in the Big Ten conference standings last season, many doubted that the Boilers would make it back to the NCAA tournament for the 2015-2016 season. Well they are back, maybe not with a great seed, but with a 20 win season, is is quite a turnaround. This is the culmination of a lot of hard work, conditioning, practicing, developing several tough defensive schemes, learning how to share the ball and play as a team.
