Pac 12: Results of the Week

The Pac 12 season starts tonight with USC hosting UCLA. Also sveral last non-conference games.
My ranking of teams below is my predicted Pac 12 League finish. However the # 5 thru # 11 teams seems much stronger than years past.

1. Stanford: 11-1 ranked # 4
Beat Tennessee 76-70. Chiney was Player of the Week on her 32 points and 20 rebounds. Lili Thompson and Taylor Greenfield had 14 and 11 points each and were both 3 of 5 from three.

Beat Fresno State 86-54, making 12 threes and having 26 assists on 32 field goals. Chiney with 20 points and 10 rebounds. Taylor Greenfield and Bonnie Samuelson with 4 threes each and Amber Orrange with 3 threes and 6 assists. Michaela Ruef with 8 assists.

Chiney is now 5th all time scoring at Stanford passing Val Whiting and Nicolle Powell. In rebounds be ready at the Oregon game as Chiney needs 7 to top Jayne Appel and 10 to pass Kayla Pederson to become # 1 all time at both Stanford and the Pac 10/12.
