I think she passes up many of the shots because of a slow release. Many of those she passes up can be blocked - maybe she needs to work with Azzi on that quick release.

And if Fairfield can muster 18 votes, what about Quinnipiac (sp?)?

After a pretty miserable start to the season, they have won 4 in a row and 5 out of their last six. Three of their 4 freshman recruits were ranked by ESPN and they look to be improving rapidly.

A friend of mine in Memphis just had a shoulder replacement, sounds like his rehab is shorter than yours (he also has a hip replacement and a knee [2nd] replacement).

I went with Mikayla Blakes also, primarily because I think she is so essential to her team's success, much more so than any of the others.

TN, currently undefeated in the SEC due to a soft opening schedule, is unlikely to finish in the top 3 in that conference. They could finish as high as fourth and as low as sixth.

As noted in the B1G thread, IN and Penn St are 0-9 and 0-10 respectively and don't play each other until the final conference game for both, when they could each be 0-17, unless one of them stumbles into a win prior to that.

IN and Penn St are 0-9 and 0-10 respectively in the BiG, and don't play each other until the last game of the conference schedule: will be interesting to see if either picks up a win before then or if they both are 0-17 heading into that final conference game.

I think the winner of the B12 might very well have 3 losses in conference, so I didn't pick any team from it. Have MI, Ky, LSU & Louisville.

This aged well!!!

Both men and women can have substantial growth in height in the later teens. Dennis Rodman was 5-9 or 5-10 when he graduated from HS, but then grew 10 or 11 inches post HS. Also remember a kid who played for Iowa who grew a full foot during the summer and fall after his junior year of HS...

I'm putting ND as 5th place, mostly because of present talent and also lack of depth. Their little AA guard can only do so much.

I've watched 3 Penn St games over the past couple of weeks and they are truly terrible: it should be a battle with Northwestern for the bottom of the B1G. I think those two are much worse than the rest of the league and could see either or both only getting one conference win. Hopefully, they...

I don't know why you would say that: she played point guard for her high school, she handles the ball well, and has demonstrated in her limited minutes a willingless and ability to pass the ball. She is also the same height as both KK and K9 and whether she could "surpass KK" or be a better...

I can easily see UNC finishing in fourth behind Louisville, NCST, and Duke. They just haven't performed well in big games: perhaps this year will be different.
