What? Musty has his own blog.
Where? San Luis Obispo, California, along the Track of the Bears.
When? March 16th in Anaheim, California.

SOS: 113
Record: 21-10 (13-5 Big West)
Good wins: At Oregon State.
Bad losses: San Francisco.
Who's driving this thing? Faith Mimnaugh, since 1997. You have to be kind of fierce to have played for a team called the Scorpions.
Extra, Extra! The Tribune.
Junior center Molly Schlemer leads the Mustangs with 12.7 points on 55.6% shooting from the field, adding 6.8 rebounds. Sophomore guard Ariana Elegado adds 12.1 points, including 38.7% from downtown. They're going to have to do a better job of getting to the line if they want to spring an upset.
