Women's Basketball

COLUMBIA, S.C. – With Tennessee Tech’s 12th appearance in the NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament in the rearview, the Golden Eagles close the books on what has been an incredible season. After all, that’s the facet to look at following Friday’s first round game against the top-seeded South Carolina Gamecocks. With a 108-48 loss to the defending national champions, yes, there’s disappointment. When wouldn’t there be as a season comes to a close, especially with an incredible group of people who have gone through so much and lifted each other up to new heights? As Tech head coach Kim Rosamond noted in the post-game press conference, it took the defending national champions to end the Golden Eagles’ impressive 17-game winning streak.

With head coach Kim Rosamond and fifth-year captains Anna Walker and Peyton Carter on the dais, Thursday’s press conference felt more like a celebration of what they had accomplished than the typical presser.

The game is set for a 3 p.m. Central/4 p.m. Eastern start time on Friday.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Longtime fans of the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team might be feeling a sudden hint of déjà vu after learning the Golden Eagles will be taking on top-seeded South Carolina on Friday in the opening round of the NCAA Women’s Tournament. There’s good reason for that – it’s not Tennessee Tech’s first time to head down to Columbia, S.C., for the Big Dance. Sure, the situations are different – this time it’s a 1-16 matchup instead of the 6-11 pairing back in March 1989 and that Gamecock squad wasn’t the defending National Champions.
