WBB: #5 Missouri State (21-2) vs the Aggies (13-2) 4:30 pm PT, Monday, March 22nd The OOC schedule is important, and Davis didn't really have one this year.
Davis is kind of where they were in the early-/mid-90s, I think, in growth. Consistently winning in conference, and then incrementally getting further and further in the tourney. There were a lot of years that ended with a frustrating early exit at the hands of Riverside or Portland St.--eventually the team got the skill and depth necessary to overcome those obstacles and made that great run in '97 to the Elite 8.
