The Pac12 was shut out.
 
We might have 3 1st team AA come March?...............This UCONN team will be very exciting to watch come March...............
 
Pac12 shutout not a surprise. East Coast bias to ESPN - at least they're consistent. I've lived on both coasts and it is astounding.

Who in the PAC12 should be a preseason AA?

It is a down year in WCBB when ESPN selects Nina Davis as a 1st team AA. There's no way.

Nina Davis is not an AA. ESPN needs to find people who actually know WCBB. That's my point.

I completelyyyyyy agree with your first paragraph but your 2nd one, not so much!

Even though Ms. Davis was a freshman, the girl was almost automatic from the field last year. Based on last year Im not surprised at all that they are including her in a PRE-season All-American poll...the young lady can play to be such an undersized post!
 
AnotherVol----even if you think she is AA worthy, FIRST team?!! LOL Come on now....:p

Let's compare her FRESHMAN stats to Harrison's JUNIOR stats. Now make your case for Harrison being on the first team and Davis not. If Harrison ends up on the 1st team will will TRULY know what a down year it is.

You may need to trade in your orange glasses for another color.

Points Per Game
  • Davis 15.0
  • Harrison 13.6
Rebounds Per Game
  • Davis 8.9
  • Harrison 9.3
Field Goal %
  • Davis 59.5
  • Harrison 57.7
Free Throw %
  • Davis 68.5
  • Harrison 66.9
Steals
  • Davis 57
  • Harrison 33
Assists
  • Davis 45
  • Harrison 35
Blocks
  • Davis 14
  • Harrison 36

First of all, I did not say Harrison should have made it over Davis. Right? Don't make up words. Regardless of those stats, she is not a better player than Courtney Walker, Jefferson, or Welch. As for Harrison, she would eat Davis alive. And if Mulkey had not chickened out and canceled the TN series after Griner graduated, we would have seen that last year. :)

Right....you go with that. Whatever makes you feel better.

But I do agree that Walker should be on the second team...replacing Harrison.

I've seen Nina Davis play in person and on TV. She is amazingly good, almost great. Her rebounding at her size or for any size is just out of this world. She is deserving!

As per my earlier post, I already had Walker on the second team.
You know, after 6 of the last 8 posts, I had to check to see what forum I was on. Please continue.
 
If we are comparing just the two, Davis made first team pre season AA over Harrison because while their stats are very similar, Davis' were accomplished as a Freshman and they're probably expecting more of a jump this year for Davis.
Note: Harrison recorded her stats playing only 23 minutes a game last year which was 6th most on her team. This could be explained by Harrison leading the Lady Vols in fouls committed. If she could manage to cut down significantly on her fouls,
first team AA would be a real possibility. If not, the Lady Vols will be fortunate if they could replicate last seasons's accomplishments.

Nina Davis killed us on the boards last year. She is impressive.

That's my recollection...not a physically imposing player, but smart, agile and with excellent instincts around the basket...she was a load against an interior that laid opponents low in the FF...

But I just can't resist tweaking some of the delusional Tennessee fans who live on the Summitt...

It helps if you mutter "UConn women's basketball on the boneyard" under your breath as you read through some of these threads artfully and innocently entitled something that would be applicable to UConn basketball...

( blue colored glasses in the wrong light just makes it difficult to read)
 
love seeing a Baylor fan & Tennessee fan argue on a UConn board...

we live in the greatest country in the world

Forget Harrison and Davis! MoJeff not being on the 1st team is a travesty!
I realize the AA polls don't vote 3 from 1 school on AA lists, but come on, Stewart is player of the year, KML is best SF in WCBB, and potential #1 WNBA draft pick, and MoJeff is the best PG in WCBB! (And Stokes may wind up the best center in the USA!)
It's always pi==ed me off that the most talented team doesn't get the post season awards they earned because "we" have to spread the awards around to be fair! If the AAC doesn't name the starting 5 of UCONN as their all-conference team this year it's a joke!
