MY ALL LEAGUE TEAM

You can vote on your own All League Team on the front page of the FBC Site, but here's my team:

Appel, Jayne - Stanford
Hampton, Devanei - Cal
Hicks, Cameo - Washington
January, Briann - ASU
Johnson, Aubree - ASU
Nash, Casey - OSU
Quinn, Noelle - UCLA
Smith, Brooke - Stanford
Walker, Ashley - Cal
Wiggins, Candice - Stanford

Where is USC's Shay Murphy? Too many sub 33% shooting nights. ASU's Westerberg, or Noe, or Orsillo? To be honest when I thought about this for the FBC Web Site, I didn't have Aubree Johnson. But the more I thought about it the more I thought Johnson isn't even the 10th player on this list. She was glue for the Sun Devils. I thought in the pre season that Amanda Thompson would become the Center for ASU, but it was Johnson who rose up to be "the post" for her team. Johnson was a solid rebounder, defender, and scored more than anyone predicted.

We move into the final week of league play. The top six teams start with byes in the Pac 10 Tournament, so both UCLA and Oregon are playing for that Friday bye.

1. Stanford: 15-1, 23-4

Stanford is now # 8 in the nation, and needs one win this week to be the Regular season Champions. ASU has only one game, against in state rival Arizona, so two Stanford wins would keep Charli from ignoring the tie breaker, that is we beat ASU twice. It's also SR Day on Sunday for 4 Cardinal, Bode, Brooke, New and Kish. Please make sure you're at Maples for this emotional, rousing, uplifting and sad at the same time, occasion. From a class of one, New was the only scholarship player 4 years ago, comes four players who have made their mark at Stanford University.

Feb 22: UCLA
Feb 25: USC-SR Day at Noon, be early.


2. ASU: 15-2, 25-3

The # 10 Sun Devils beat both USC and UCLA. Briann January had a career high 22 points to go with 9 assists and 6 steals in the win over UCLA. Aubree Johnson had 20 points and 10 rebounds in the win over USC.

Feb 24: @ Arizona


3. Cal: 10-6, 20-7

A stunning loss to Oregon low lighted the week. During that game the outstanding Devanei Hampton scored 27 of her team's 42 points. Imagine a team, minus one, scoring 15 points in a college basketball game? For the week, Hampton had 44 points and 21 rebounds. Cal came back tough to beat Oregon State in double overtime. The Bears have 20 wins, the first time with 20 or more since 1992.

Feb 22: USC
Feb 24: UCLA


3. USC: 10-6, 16-10

USC split with the Arizona schools, and they probably need four wins to reach the NCAA's. They are about 20 behind Washington in RPI. USC played ASU very close until the end, missing out on a huge opportunity. But ASU would not let that happen. Shay Murphy had 26 points and 20 rebounds, but was only 8 for 29 from the floor, in the two games.

Feb 22: @ Cal
Feb 25: @ Stanford


5. Washington: 9-7, 16-11

Despite having the same # of wins as USC, Washington seems to be closer to the NCAA's than the Trojans. The Huskies really contol their own destiny, playing the Oregon schools at home. Their one game this past week was a 32 point victory over Washington State.

Feb 22: Oregon State
Feb 24: Oregon


6. UCLA: 7-9, 13-15

The Bruins lost to both Arizona schools to take themselves out of NCAA consideration and unless they win 4 more, probably out of post season, read NIT, entirely. A sad way for the great Noelle Quinn to end her career. Quinn, as usual, did it all with 37 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists in the losses to Arizona and ASU.

Feb 22: @ Stanford
Feb 24: @ Cal


6. Oregon: 7-9, 15-11

The Ducks beat Cal and lost to Stanford, but keept alive their post season, NIT, hopes. Eleanor Haring had a fine week with 36 points.

Feb 22: @ Washington State
Feb 24: @ Washington


8. Arizona: 4-13, 10-19

The Wildcats had a huge win at UCLA. Joy Hollingsworth had 18 points in that game and Malia O'Neal had 11 assists.

Feb 24: ASU


9. Oregon State: 3-13, 8-17

Played very tough against both Cal and Stanford but came up just short in both games. Casey Nash scored 36 points and continues to led the Pac 10 in scoring.

Feb 22: @ Washington
Feb 24: @ Washington State


10: Washington State: 1-15, 5-21

Washington State lost by 32 to Washington.

Feb 22: Oregon
Feb 24: Oregon State
