I believe with the success she has had here, other opportunities must have opened up for her. I hope she stays as long as she wants.She has done a great job -IMHO<br><br>I would like to see them get over the conference tourney "jinx", and qualify for the NCAA tourney.<br><br>I believe that the only D1-men's BB team-in Illinois to never qualify for the "big dance" is WESTERN.Even eastern accomplished that several years ago. I don't believe DT has that in him-IMHO. A change is necessary to get to that level.<img align="absmiddle" src="http://www.leathernecknation.com/Skins/LeatherneckNation/Images/EmotIcons/Smile.gif" border="0" title="Smile">Tue, 22 Jan 2008 17:32:26 GMTLeatherfacehttp://www.leathernecknation.com/Topic2363-19-1.aspxI think the Winds went to the NCAA Tournament in 1995 (the 1994-95 season). I remember that they played in a Regional in North Carolina.<br><br>Oberion Pitterson ("OB") was one of the stars.<br><br>The coach was Regina Miller (the coach before Coach Crane).<br><br>Coach Crane is now in her 9th season at WESTERN.<br><br>Mon, 21 Jan 2008 18:48:02 GMTWIU712http://www.leathernecknation.com/Topic2363-19-1.aspxI knew four was wrong after I sent it. But, I didn't think it had been 14!!!!!!. I did think Crane was the coach. Who was it? do you remember??Mon, 21 Jan 2008 16:09:54 GMTLeatherfacehttp://www.leathernecknation.com/Topic2363-19-1.aspxWished it was only 4 years ago, but it was before Crane came to WIU. More like 13 years ago I think. I just remember O.B. being the star on the team.Mon, 21 Jan 2008 15:50:03 GMTB-Ball Fanhttp://www.leathernecknation.com/Topic2363-19-1.aspxHere's hoping Crane & Co. can win the conference-tourney too- and get back into the NCAA tourney. When did they qualify- four years ago??Mon, 21 Jan 2008 15:00:01 GMTLeatherfacehttp://www.leathernecknation.com/Topic2363-19-1.aspxGreat job Westerwinds!! I listened to part of the game, but then had to leave, so I was glad to see when I got home that they had won. This gives them a big leg up in the conference race, but there is a lot of games to be played also. I am especially happy because I think the ORU coach is jerk, maybe its just me but he seems to come off as one. Anyway goob job Coach Crane and staff and keep up the good work ladies.Sat, 19 Jan 2008 22:52:26 GMTmeganeckhttp://www.leathernecknation.com/Topic2363-19-1.aspxSenior Gina Hugelier tallied a team-high 19 points and added 10 rebounds in the Western Illinois women’s basketball team’s 60-46 victory over Oral Roberts at the Mabee Center!!<br>Sat, 19 Jan 2008 18:53:38 GMTWIU712
