Can some players from ###-major schools get a little love?!?
Major props to Western Kentucky's Crystal Kelly making the list as the only non-BCS player. But she may not even be the best player in her own conference.
Amber Holt from Middle TN should have been on the watch list as well.

| Yes they do, altho I'm not sure their rational. Last year they didn't add Angel MCoughtry even though she was cruising to the BE POY award at that point.

Again, how does the ACC Rookie of the Year and one of the top performers for USA Basketball this summer not get a sniff?
Monica Wright, Virginia.
Then there is Lyndra Littles from UVA, who is more deserving than a few of those players on the list...

Because if you don't play for Duke, UNC, or Maryland in the ACC, you don't exist to the media. Hell, let some folks on here tell it, those are the only three teams in the entire conference. It's like they've never heard of the ACC players who don't play for Duke, Maryland, or UNC.

It will be a shock to many to find out Toliver is not the best point guard in the ACC.

Walker really was fantastic after AGL went down with an injury last year. Anyone who questions Boyle as a coach need only to look at the victory over Stanford at Maples, without AGL.

Boyles had the advantage of Stanford losing JJ Hones the first min of the game. Major, major mojo shift to start the game.

It wasn't like Hones was a star. And that was not responsible for Stanford shooting 6-35 from three. Taking your "mojo" argument, the inability to pull the team together after a loss (of a player) like that says more about TVD as a coach.
And Cal won without Alexis Gray-Lawson and significantly less depth, both in terms of actual bodies and quality.

JJ led our team at the pg which forced Wiggins to play the pt, not where she is effective. This of course was due to Ros already being out. Cal was without Alexis Gray-Lawson for longer so they had time to adjust. Their other guards were on, ours were out of sync, which neither coach can really take the blame or credit for. I was there and knew Stanford wouldn't bounce back, cuz gee I guess they were upset about JJ.

Kristi Turnover, uh, I mean Toliver and Nicky Anosike on that list is laugh-able.
I think Monica Wright is an up-and-coming player, but you want to talk USA Basketball stats? Where's Mya Moore? She was tearing it up.

Melanie Murphy was there to play the point.
Upset about JJ is one thing. Learning to get your players to focus is a coaching issue. And Stanford was still much deeper than Cal.

Yep, who had seen very little playing time most of the yr. I understand it is the coaches job to get their players to focus. Stanford looked tight like they were trying too hard. The guards for Cal were shooting the lights out, ours were not. Coaches can't take credit of blame for that was my pt.

After all, being a PG is all about scoring. It shouldn't matter that a PG has almost as many double-digit turnover performances as double-digit assists games in her career. It's all about shooting and scoring.
