The answer that I am about to give is based on a clearly infallible source: the tournament program that I picked up at Mohegan Sun.
According to that, she is tied for 4th. The other players at or above her height are:
Kasenija Madzarevic, a Tulane senior from Serbia;
Dene' Mimms, a Tulane freshman from New Orleans;
Paige Bayliss, an SMU freshman from Australia;
Shannen Atkinson, a Temple junior from Virginia.
The Serbian player is listed at 6-6. Mimms and Bayliss are shown as 6-5, and Atkinson is said to be 6-4.
I started this inquiry thinking that ONO might be the tallest player in the conference except possibly Alicia Froling of SMU, who is shown in the program as being only 6-3. Frankly, I haven't heard of the other players listed above, and I doubt that they are having much of an impact.
It's quite possible that ONO, despite being a freshman who plays limited minutes, may be the most impactful player in the league at her height or above. I would be interested to know if statistics confirm this impression.
