Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News

That is where the 13th-seeded Raiders will take on No. 4 Texas A&M on the Aggies home floor in Chicago regional play. 

The game is set to tip off at 4 p.m. and be shown on ESPN2. 

The winner will play No. 5 Marquette or No. 12 Rice two days later in College Station with the winner of that game headed to the regional tournament at Wintrust Arena in Chicago the following weekend. 

The Final Four will be held April 5 and 7 at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Fla. 

The Aggies (24-7) were ranked 14th in the final Associated Press poll of the season after finishing third in the SEC. They are 13-3 at home and led by Chennedy Carter, a 5-foot-7 sophomore guard who led the SEC in scoring at 22.5 points per game. 

Carter missed the SEC tournament with a hand injury, but the school announced Monday she will play in the first round of the NCAA tournament.

The Raiders (27-6) earned the automatic bid to the NCAA tournament with a 55-52 win over Green Bay last Tuesday night in the Horizon League tournament championship in Detroit.
