Wichita State bowling earned a spot in the NCAA Tournament with its Conference USA title last weekend in New Orleans. Coach Holly Harris and sophomore Aleesha Oden join the podcast to explain how NCAA play works and the dramatics of the CUSA weekend. Oden, the tournament's Most Outstanding Bowler, describes the big moments on Sunday, and how she didn't fully grasp the weight of the situation.

She also talks about getting into bowling at a young age, her favorite Disney movie and why she chose Wichita State. Harris discusses the benefits of competing in the NCAA's top conference and how Wichita State's first season in the NCAA unfolded differently than she expected.

In the CUSA Tournament, WSU won seven straight matches, capped by two wins over defending NCAA champion Jacksonville State. The Shockers defeated Jacksonville State 4-3 in the final match.
