WBB Game 26: UTEP 14-10, 5-6 vs ODU 7-19, 5-7. Pink Game
This Saturday the ODU women's basketball team will face off against the University of Texas El-Paso Miners. This is also the team's pink game, which is traditionally the biggest crowd of adults for any home game. After what we saw on Wednesday's performance, this game should be fun.
This will be another big game in the standings. Let's take a peak....
#7 UTEP 5-6
#8 Souther Miss 5-6
#9 North Texas 5-7
#10 ODU 5-7
#11 FAU 4-7
#12 UTSA 4-9
A win on Saturday would help ODU rise in the rankings a lot.

UTEP offense goes around their 6'4" forward Seda. Howell, Cook, Zec all shot from the outside. They will play Puc (6'2") and Seda down low a lot., both shot over 50% from the floor. But they are a good rebounding team.
