Commerce, Texas

On Monday, the NCAA announced that the Texas A&M University-Commerce women's basketball team had the ninth-best improvement among Division II teams. The Lions raised its record from 16-13 in 2005-06 to 28-9 in 2006-07 for an improvement of 8.0. To determine games improved, add the difference in victories between the two seasons to the difference in losses, then divide by two. Grand Canyon was the nation's most improved squad after going 4-22 in 2005-06 to 23-4 in 2006-07. A&M-Commerce was the only team that reached the Elite Eight of the 25 teams ranked.
