Who? The Cowgirls of Oklahoma State.
What? Originally, they were Tigers, like Princeton. Cowboys seemed more appropriate. The story behind Pistol Pete is really cool.
Where? Stillwater, Oklahoma, home of red dirt music.
When? March 24th, in West Lafayette, Indiana.
Why? Because Jessica would hunt the committee down and do terrible things to them otherwise, duh. Strong RPI and good conference record, too.
How? They were an at-large selection.
Surprise? Predicted to finish third in the conference, they ended up tied for third with Texas, dropping to fourth on the tiebreaker.

Quick senior guard Tiffany Bias leads the Cowgirls with 14.2 points and a touch under six assists. Sophomore guard Brittney Martin adds 11.8 points and 8.2 rebounds, while junior forward Liz Donohoe rounds out the double-figure scoring with 11.2 points and 5.4 rebounds.
Random thing that may only concern me: the alternating win-loss pattern in the last fourteen games of the season.
