FORT WORTH, Texas – By virtue of a 6-14 finish in conference play this season, the Lady Ram basketball team received the seventh seed in the Red River Conference tournament. They will travel to Langston, Oklahoma on Thursday to face the second-seeded Lady Lions of Langston University at 7 PM.

Langston (23-7, 18-2), which has received a few votes towards a top-25 national ranking this season but has yet to crack the list, defeated Wesleyan both times the teams met this season. The Lady Lions won 68-56 in Oklahoma on January 25, and 84-60 this past Saturday in the Sid Richardson Gymnasium.

The Lady Rams weren’t even on track to get into the tournament – which accepts the best eight teams from the regular season - just three weeks ago. From January 9th to February 8th, Wesleyan won just a single conference game in 11 tries, and was in 10th place in the 11-team conference. But since February 10th, the Lady Rams have won three of seven, doubling their conference win total and securing a spot in the tournament.

Thursday’s game, along with any subsequent post-season games played by the Lady Rams, will be broadcast through the Teamline Broadcasting Service, and will be free of charge to listeners.
