OUTLOOK
First round: Lost to LSU, 77-54
In the Big South Conference, no team has been bigger or fared better in recent years. How much have the Lady Flames dominated the Big South? Senior guard Sharon Wilkerson (13.8 ppg) was named the conference's Player of the Year, teammate Michelle Fricke (11.6 ppg, 7.3 rpg) was picked as the Freshman of the Year, Carey Green was the Coach of the Year and senior forward Elena Kisseleva (11.8 ppg) of Moscow, Russia, was named the Big South tourney's MVP as the Lady Flames won their fourth straight tourney title. Now the question is whether the talent will translate in the postseason, and whether the Lady Flames get as tough a draw as last year, when third-seeded Georgia routed them 73-52.
