This week was the second year Lubbock hosted the NJCAA Division I Women’s National Basketball Championship. Therefore, I have spent most of this past week at LCU’s Rip Griffin Center watching the field of 24 teams narrow down to a rematch of last year’s championship. Defending-champion Gulf Coast State College and runner-up Trinity Valley Community College faced off again yielding similar results with the Lady Commodores taking a 24-point victory.
Also, you can see the slideshow from Mark at the A-J.
