Just saw the latest USA Today Sports national coaches' poll and it looks pretty similar to the writers' poll which came out yesterday.
Stanford is the new No. 1 team receiving 17 of the 31 first-place votes followed by UConn (12 No. 1 votes) and previous No. 1 Baylor checks in at No. 3 and picked up the other two first-place ballots.
Stanford deserves the Number 1 ranking after beating Baylor. Sims was in the game for all but 4 minutes and should not be considered the reason they lost. Geno always says the game was lost long before that happened (her exit in this case).
ReplyDeleteHowever, Baylor is a force to be dealt with--and many teams shall deal badly with them. Uconn, like Stanford, must play at a very high level and have more than a minor amount of luck to beat Baylor. Some idiot called himself 80-0 alluding to Baylor--should now call himself 44-1.
