The second-seeded and seventh-ranked Texas A&M women's basketball team (29-5) returns to the Sweet 16 for the third time in four years after cruising to first- and second-round victories over 15th-seeded McNeese State (87-47) on March 20 and seventh-seeded Rutgers (70-48) on March 22.
A&M faces sixth-seeded Georgia (23-10) in the regional semifinals of the 2011 NCAA Division I Women's Basketball Championship to be played on Sunday, March 27 at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas.
Tipoff between the Aggies and the Lady Bulldogs is set for 3:34 p.m. (CT) and is televised nationally in ESPN2.

In addition, the Aggies outscored their competition by over an average of 30 points (31.0) and are one of just two teams, next to No. 1 seed Tennessee, to do so. The Aggies head to the Dallas Regional in search of their second trip in program history to the Elite Eight. The team is 1-2 all-time in Sweet 16 games.
