The Lone Star Showcase appears to be a women's tournament held just outside Austin.

I think it is in Austin but that doesnt mean UT is involved. Strange that I googled Lonestar Showcase and could not come up with anything useful.

Try "Lone Star" instead of Lonestar.

GW Iowa Houston and Wright St were last years teams. In fact, GW beat Iowa and Houston. Looks like a great preseason tourney in a great city. Nice recruiting tool as well.

My granddaughter is a Texas girl. Burnt Orange all the way. It looks like she and I will need to put this on the calendar. Maybe she'll start thinking about Bona instead of UT.

Thanks, senator, but we'll need to hold off a few years. She's just entering high school this fall at a fine arts academy in Austin. It's great to be young and have an infinite array of hopes ranging from rock star to Olympic athlete, but maybe after two more years of cold reality we can narrow the choices down to something more practical. Having local peers is really helpful. When my Tennessee nephew visited a few years back he was very discouraged to see no pins from TN on the Bona student map. He went to some podunk college in VA that I had never heard of and can't even remember the name right now. The things kids think are important!

I went to Bona from Texas and also graduated in 2010. There aren't a lot of Texans at SBU but probably a few more than you would expect.

It's a mens tournament, being played in the same Arena where the Spurs D-League team plays and we will not be playing UT. That much I know. www.thebonablog.com

That much I know. www.thebonablog.com In that case I'll also be accompanied by my son. A family feud may break out over this one. Seriously, I am pumped up about playing the Longhorns. This is a big get for the Bonnies!
