Last season, Lisa Stockton and the women's basketball team didn't get an NCAA tournament invite despite finishing the season 26-7 and winning the Conference USA regular season title. The tournament committee is said to have penalized the Green Wave for not playing a tough-enough schedule. Well, they won't be able to make that complaint next season.
The team has released its 2007-2008 schedule on the official site, which includes games against 10 teams that made the postseason last year. Needless to say, another 26-7 season should easily get them an NCAA tournament birth.

Montagnino to play in Italy
It looks like Jami Montagnino will have to brush up on her Italian. The standout guard, who left Tulane as one of the school's best pure shooters (1st in FT%, 14th in scoring), will play for Ribera (Banco de Sicily) of the Italian League . She'll join Megan Duffy, who started for Notre Dame in 2006 and now starts for Ribera.
Montagnino was probably seen as extremely valuable not only for her shooting, but also the fact that she will count as a domestic player (Italian rosters can only have two non-Italians per team). Montagnino's grandfather is Italian, thus she will not cost Ribera a valuable "foreign slot."
Here's the link to the story.
