Lou, Pheesa, Crystal on Wooden List (merged threads)

[j66kicker]

3 From ND as well...

Wooden Award list features 3 from Irish, UConn

 

[DefenseBB]

There’s still a lot of pretenders on this list...

Agreed... I can see our 3 making the next cut down of the list as well.

 

[IWearShoes]

I like Rhyne Howard, but I'm really not feeling her on this list and Anriel Howard not. Pretty clear to me Sunday who the better player was.

No big deal. Anriel is not POY caliber, but she should probably be on this list.

I was gonna say, who uses a watch anymore???

 

[Vowelguy]

Based on what (little) I've seen of Tenn, I would've gone with Westbrook over Davis.

Who Woodent?

 

[Jmsdawg]

No Anreil Howard? Whatever experts are participating in this WATCH must not be WATCHING any WBB games this year!

 

[LoTrader]

TRUE THAT!

But McCowan is averaging more points and rebounds than Anriel.
Anriel has had better performances in the high-visibility games (Oregon, Marquette).

You did see Sophie on that list and the Kentucky freshman who Anreil just made look like a freshman in the MSST game. Anreil belongs on any top 25 WBB player list IMHO!

Should be an interesting battle for the 5-person AA team. I don't watch nearly as much as some of the experts on this board, so anyone else in the running outside of these 11?

• Kalani Brown, Baylor (Sr)
• Kaila Charles, Maryland (Jr)
• Napheesa Collier, UConn (Sr)
• Asia Durr, Louisville (Sr)
• Megan Gustafson, Iowa (Sr)
• Sabrina Ionescu, Oregon (Jr)
• Teaira McCowan, Mississippi State (Sr)
• Arike Ogunbowale, Notre Dame (Sr)
• Katie Lou Samuelson, UConn (Sr)
• Jessica Shepard, Notre Dame (Sr)
• Alanna Smith, Stanford (Sr)

No one likely. If I had to pick one sleeper, it would be Bridget Carleton. If Iowa State can continue to impress in Big 12 play and climb the rankings, she'll start to get some buzz. Averaging 20 ppg, 8.6 rpg, 4.5 apg. She does it all for them.

But still, it'll be awfully hard for an "outsider" to beat out 6 of those players. Right now I'd say Gustafson, Ionescu and Ogunbowale are virtual locks. Gotta think two of Collier, Lou, Brown, Durr, Smith and McCowan will likely be in as well.

Wondering....when was the last time we didn't have at least one player on this list?

The Wooden Award has been presented to women since 2003-04.

While there has never been a year where at least 1 player (generally more) from UConn didn't make the Pre Season list there have been 2 years were none made the Mid Season list.

In 2006-07 (Charde Houston made Pre-Season list)
In 2004-05 (Ann Strother and Barbara Turner made Pre Season list)

Good stuff!

You mean we were robbed 2 out of 3 consecutive years?
