Cleveland, Ohio - After a warm send-off by its faithful fans, the Rutgers women's basketball team touched down in Cleveland late Thursday afternoon. The banners which adorn the downtown area read '? and then there were four. The Scarlet Knights face LSU on Sunday in the first national semifinal meeting. Tip time on ESPN is set for 7:06 p.m.
The Scarlet Knights were able to meet a legend - in a surprise manner -on Thursday evening. The squad happened to come across former tennis pioneer Billie Jean King dining in the same location. King delivered a riveting speech to the team and her warm wishes.
On Friday, several members of the team participated in the taping of ESPN 'teasers.' The ads will promote the upcoming games on Sunday. After an afternoon practice, Rutgers attended the Salute Dinner with the city's main theme - Rock and Roll - taking center stage.
