(WEHT) — Despite having to finish the season on the road for four straight games, this stretch might be on of the most helpful for the University of Southern Indiana women’s basketball team.

Key Highlights

  • The slate isn’t an ideal situation for any team to be in, but while Southern Indiana is (12-3) within the confines of Liberty Arena they’re also (6-4) on the road.
  • So they’re not exactly bad away from home either. AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementLooking at the schedule from a positive sense, it will be good preparation for next month’s OVC tournament and for what lies ahead beyond that.
  • Even though the OVC tournament is held in Evansville, the Ford Center isn’t exactly the home of the Screaming Eagles.
  • And when it comes to the NCAA Tournament, a team can play one game in one city and be in another city the very next day.“It can be wearing mentally already knowing that hey not only because you got the games and it’s tough and you’re on the road, you don’t sleep in your own bed but there’s missed class time,” said head coach Rick Stein.
  • “These young women are students, I mean they go to class, they take care of business… But it doesn’t make it easier when you’re gone for two straight weeks, so this one kind of adds to that one a little bit as we go into postseason.
