Best Team-can you say B-A-Y-L-O-R They have the two best players in the country in Odyssey Sims and Brittney Griner and one of the two best coaches in the game in Kim Mulkey. Pencil them in for a National Championship contest with UConn in Denver.
Best coaches- Kevin McGuff Washington and
Mulkey- McGuff has a very poor team talent wise at 8-2 even without their best
player, out due to injury. The former Xavier miracle worker will turn Washington
around in a matter of a few years and they will be competing with Stanford for
West Coast supremacy. Mulkey has the best team, but her halftime adjustments
against UConn in Waco and especially the positioning of Griner, leads us to this
conclusion.
Biggest disappointment-Rutgers-
The Scarlet Knights have as much talent as any teams except UConn and Baylor.
They are deep. They squandered a 16-point lead at Miami by turning off an
effective press and then had the lead at home against only a fair Tennessee team
and watched Tennessee win it at the end on poorly defended 3's.
Biggest surprise-Delaware.They have Elena Della Done and are undefeated, including a big win at Wake Forest. Just think what would have happened if Della Done had stayed at UConn.
Best Game-UConn at
Baylor. UConn had a 9-point lead and looked on its way to victory on the heels
of some great 3-point shooting. Baylor finally found a way to get the ball
inside to Griner and game over.
Worst In Game
Coaching- Gary Blair, Texas A&M against UConn. The Aggies, defending
National Champions were totally lost and basically gave up in the second half.
They had no answers for the UConn guard oriented offense.
Best
Player-Griner, hands down.
Likely Final Four-Baylor,UConn,Notre Dame and Stanford.
All-American Team-Griner,Sims,Hartley,Dell Donne, Nnemkadi Ogwumike.
Freshman Of The Year-Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis.
