*= A major bad ass in her day! Pulled down almost 900 more rebounds & scored 500 more points than Griner.

I think this team comes in at 5, and bumps Duke down to the sixth spot.

Maryland's top 5:

PG - Toliver
SG - Coleman
SF - Thomas
PF - Langhorne
C - Kizer (over Harper)

The first 4 were no brainers. All of them were All Americans and All Stars in the WNBA. I chose Lynetta Kizer over Harper because she was freshman of the year in the ACC and is currently in the WNBA with Indiana.
Expand ...

Maryland I would go with:
1- Kristi Toliver
2- Marissa Coleman (If Shatori Walker-Kimbrough has a strong finish, she could push into consideration, Shay Doron could go here based purely on guts and competitive will)
3- Alyssa Thomas
4- Vicky Bullett (Olympian)
5- Crystal Langhorne

I would choose Tianna Hawkins over Kizer and possibly Harper. Harper left the WNBA due to injuries.

UNC
1- Nikki Teasley (one of the all-time great PGs)
2- Ivory Latta
3- Marion Jones
4- Camille Little
5- Erlana Larkins
*Alisha Gray and Diamond DeShields may have been on course to be considered on the perimeter

You are absolutely right about Abrosimova, truly one of my favorites. Never saw Bascomb play, but I have heard of her. Which of the other all-time teams, if any, do you think could challenge UConn? Not sure about our defense against Teams 2,3 or 4.

After some study time because at my age some facts actually fall into a dark page of can't quite remember. What I was recalling was the incredible stretch of four titles in five years from 99/00 thru 03/04.and the only loss in 9 final four games was to Notre Dame in the 2001 semi finals. A game UConn had to play without Shea Ralph and Svetlana Abrosmova, two All Americans, UConn would fall to ND. Injuries are a regretable yet real part of the game. And almost every top flight program has lost similar talent so only a statement of there was a great chance UConn would have won 5 in a row had one or both of those girls not been injured. All of that said we sit here on the precipice of the 15/16 season and look forward to a great opportunity for Breanna and Mo to go 4/4. Ain't that a kick in the head.

Not sure who the 5th should be for ND. We need an ND fan with a longer frame of reference than mine.

Creative solution is Beth (Morgan) Cunningham and go small.

Feels like ND's career scoring average leader (2nd to Diggins in total points) should be included, but Loyd and McBride are both hard to drop.

1) No way can you have Duke behind UNC.. no way.

2) Not sure how you can leave off UVA's top 5 out of any list.

Tied. Name the players.

Very difficult to include UNC on any list of honor. I do not fault the players who I think in large part were probably used by the school well beyond just playing ball for their scholarship. Foot dragging NCAA should have come down hard on them several years ago. The facts were in and now are only getting worse.

Only one that I know is Staley. Can't put them in the final 8. Who's spot would they take?

Just cause you dont know any of the other players.... doesnt mean that they weren't any good. When exactly did you start to follow WCBB ?

Considering Miller was not the point guard, but was a collegiate forward, I am not sure how she is ranked at the PG position.

If you want to pick the five best players and have the positions figure themselves out, that is a different ranking (at least in my book). You can have the five best players in history (on a team) or the five best players in history at each position (on a team). Is this list supposed to be the former or the latter? If the latter, Miller should not be listed at a position she did not play.

Well, if they were that good, I would have heard of them. You think we should put them in Dukes spot? I really want your input, if you disagree, give me your final 8.
I really only started watching since 96, that's when I fell in love with UConn and started hating Tennessee. I really only watch UConn, in women's BB. I follow just about every sport, football, hockey, women's tennis, baseball, basketball, soccer and golf. I love all things Philly and UConn.

By position of course. Teams are not limited to just five players. Maybe they didn't know what position she plays. She was a 4, right?

Alot of this is colored by when a person started following the sport.... and of course which teams they root for. Id started trying to follow WCBB when i was in elementary school...... around 1982 or so.. and thats when LaTech and Southern Cal were forces. Didnt really start to follow Duke WCBB until 1998.

I'd put USC on top............ Id put Stanford over ND and Baylor actually. I wouldnt put UVA in at Duke's expense. .......cause I think you have Duke too low at 8. I'd keep UNC.... move out Maryland.

I am suiting up Reggie's big sister at PG. You pick someone from any of the team mentioned here and I bet they can't guard her.

I have heard of a lot of the greats, a lot of the ones before my time. That being said, I asked for input because I know that there are a lot more knowledgeable WBB fans on this board than me, who have followed the game much longer than I have.

USC over UConn? UConn is much deeper, with some of the greatest 3 point shooters. They would shoot the lights out of USC! We would bring Sales, Bird and KML off the bench! Not to mention Lobo and Wolters! I can see you putting Stanford over Baylor and ND. But USC over UConn? Can't see that at all. Would be a good game though.

Your original post said top 5 from each school. I'd put Southern Cal's top 5 over any other school. If you start including benches.... then obviously UCONN has the advantage over any school....

The 5 was for the top five schools. That's why the UConn team had subs included. There were so many good teams, that I changed it to Final 8. Sorry, I should have made that a little clearer.
