Colorado State faces another team with foreign flair

LOS ANGELES — Colorado State-South Florida isn't your average 6-11 matchup.

For one, it's the first time in four years that two ranked teams have faced each other in the first round of the women's NCAA Tournament as the two squads are back-to-back in the final regular season AP Poll — sixth-seeded USF 21st and 11th-seeded CSU 22nd.

More interesting about Saturday's contest (7 p.m. MT, ESPN2) at Pauley Pavilion, though, is the international flavor from each team.

Of the 30 players on the two rosters, more than half (16) are from outside the United States (CSU has nine and USF has seven).
