Nothing Shocking there. I have noticed for the ACC and Big10 there is both a Coaches Voting and a Media Voting, which one is this or is there only 1?

In the Big10's case, there was difference in the POY as Kelsey Mitchell got the Coaches vote while Megan Gustafson got the Media's.
Purdue’s Ae’Rianna Harris won the DPOY. Cox now goes into the National DPOY pool of Conference Winners to determine the winner.

They put Kristy Wallace's info next to Lauren Cox on the first team. I'm guessing she made it too and they made a mistake in the release. Unless Lauren shrank 5 inches and became Australian.

I think there's an error here as Lauren is definitely not 5'11" and is not from Australia, however she is a Soph while Wallace is a Senior. Where's the mistake?

Baylor fan Bear11 beat me to it so I have added this edit noting I lost to him on the proof read...good job my colleague, good job.

They combined Wallace and Cox's lines. Both made it. I think they are fixing the release now because it disappeared from the Big 12 website.

I was wondering the same thing....I copy and pasted that from Big 12 twitter link. So it wasn't my error.

Any word from Baylor regarding Kristy's injury.
Sending prayers....
