| Southern Methodist Mustangs RECORD: 22-9 COACH: Rhonda Rompola | SEASON RESULTS | OUTLOOK First round: Defeated North Carolina St., 64-63
Second round: Lost to Old Dominion, 96-76
The WAC regular-season champion Mustangs won 12 consecutive games at one point this season, but their strength of schedule is suspect despite a 77-62 win over George Washington back in November. Karlin Kennedy and D-dra Rucker each average 15 points, combining for 43 percent of SMU's total offense. In 1999, the 11th seeded Mustangs beat No. 6 Toledo before losing to Georgia in the second round. Key stat: SMU is 12-1 at home, but 6-6 on the road.
