CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. – Saturday is certainly not the situation that Tennessee Tech women’s basketball is used to.

Tech certainly isn’t taking it as a negative, but an opportunity. It gives the Golden Eagles the lesson to not take their historic success at face value. It places the importance of being there to defend their title. The Golden Eagles are hungry – and they know Southeast Missouri is too.
