2004-05 SEASON RECAP

This season was easily the worst of Sue Charles career. After a 16-14 regular season and going 10-6 in the WAC (tied for 2nd with a bunch of other teams...everyone just beat up on each other this year) they had to play a play-in game in the WAC tournament.

Despite that, the team put their game faces on and managed to beat Southern Utah, Texas State, Sacramento State and Utah Valley (the latter as the 10th seed who were on a huge run of their own at 10-23) to claim the WAC tournament title and with it, their 3rd NCAA bid in 4 years.

SEASON RESULTS

Spoiler

The Pronghorns were a 14-seed in the South Region.

NCAA TOURNAMENT
1st round: #3 Towson (28-5) W, 81-67
2nd round: #6 San Jose State (26-9) W, 77-69
Sweet 16: #2 Oklahoma State (26-7) L, 72-58

So we fall in the Sweet 16. Not bad for a team that really had no regular season business being in the tournament at all. But we clicked at the right time and behind the efforts of Wyoming transfer Harper Cromer (C) and 4-star recruit Gracia Leon (SG) we were able to maximize and really it's a nice foundation for what we'll possibly be able to do next year.

With only one scholarship, we probably won't be bringing anyone in to impact things -- no freshman signed during the early period -- but we're still pleased at the end result as we head to what's going to a bloodbath of a conference next year.

If you hadn't noticed, I just update the season results for the coach in the first post. So if you just wanna see how close she's getting to 1098, you can do that up there.

In the Final Four this year, it was 1) Tennessee, 5) UNC, 2) Nebraska and 5) Rutgers. Tennessee beat Rutgers to claim their 7th title in school history.
