Women of Troy Denied NCAA Tournament Bid
As per the men's version of March Madness, the Pac-10 will only be getting two teams in the women's tournament, which announced its pairings earlier this afternoon. No. 1 Stanford and No. 8 UCLA earned the conference's two bids, and as a result, the Women of Troy will be at home watching according to Scott Wolf:
USC did not make the NCAA women's basketball tournament. The Trojans' RPI was 41, which is not a lock to make it. The season-ending loss to UCLA might have cost USC its bid.

I dont understand the decision to decline WNIT invite
doesn’t make sense at all – there is practically no cost there and gives the team much needed practice time.
What the heck are they smoking, we got stanford in our conference and they are 2nd best team in the nation.
LA Sports is what keep me off the streets and out of trouble, thanks to all the teams Rams, Dodgers, Lakers, USC sports and the Love of Tennis.

It sure looks like we got screwed
from AD Garrett on ripsit.com………….http://www.usctrojans.com/blog/index.html
“Our women’s basketball players and coaches, and consequently many others at USC, suffered horrible heartbreak when we were left out of the NCAA Tournament on selection day on Monday. The feeling is even worse because there’s no transparency with the whole system. The selection committee makes their educated decisions, but for USC, the 65th-best team and first one out of the tournament, there’s no rationale for why we weren’t included. We’re just left wondering. We had a good strength of schedule, having played 10 tournament-bound teams and beating four of them. We were third in the Pac-10 and had 19 wins. We finished hot, having won six straight at the end of the season before losing in the Pac-10 tournament semifinals to a ranked UCLA squad. Our RPI is in the Top 40 and we had a number of what the NCAA calls “good losses” — to Xavier in overtime and Duke on the road, both highly seeded tournament teams. People complain about the BCS all the time, but at least it’s transparent all season, and you can criticize it and scrutinize it all you want because of that. This snub is just going to make our basketball program — both the men’s and women’s teams — hungrier for this upcoming season."
Okay Mike

You want to talk about the snub for the men’s team’s snub? Oh, where to begin?

Here is what really happen Mike wanted a new Lexus (without the auto-sporadic accelerator) and they couldn't get one.
Mike has to do his lean in a lexus because just about everyone has a Cadillac, being the big roller that he is. Hey what does MG and Mike Tyson have in common.
