NCAA's women's notebook--The Tulsa World

Geography lesson: Tennessee women's basketball coach Pat Summitt had to give her top-seeded Volunteers a little geography lesson Monday night.

It seems no one on the nationally-ranked squad had ever heard of Oral Roberts University.

"Where is Oral Roberts, coach?" senior guard Alexis Hornbuckle asked when the matchup flashed on the television screen during the Women's Selection Show for the NCAA Tournament.

Return trip: Oral Roberts will make its second trip to West Lafayette, Ind., for the NCAA Tournament.

The 16th-seeded Golden Eagles will
face Tennessee in first-round action Sunday at the Mackey Arena.

ORU visited West Lafayette in its first NCAA Tournament trip in 1999, when it lost to Purdue 68-48 in first-round action.

This is the Golden Eagles fourth trip to the big dance in the last nine years.

Lucky 13: ORU junior Jenny Hardin became the 13th player in ORU history to reach 1,000 points in her career and the eighth to do it in less than three years.

The former Claremore standout forward currently has 1,007 points in 80 career games.
