Notebook BIG EAST Makes History on ESPN College GameDay
Hall of Famers The BIG EAST is the only conference to have three active head coaches in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, with the hiring of Seton Hall head coach Anne Donovan. Donovan, C. Vivian Stringer and Geno Auriemma are double Hall of Famers, as all three are also members of the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame. Stringer was introduced as a member of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame Class of 2009 and she was inducted into the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame Class of 2001. Auriemma was introduced in the Naismith and Women’s Basketball Class of 2006. Donovan was inducted as a player in the Class of 1995 to the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame and into the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame Class of 1999.
BIG EAST Women’s Basketball is a Big Deal Lindsay Schrader, Notre Dame and Maya Moore, Connecticut
The first ESPN College GameDay to be held in conjunction with a women’s basketball game took place when BIG EAST Conference foes Notre Dame and Connecticut squared off at Gampel Pavilion in Storrs, Conn., on Jan. 16, 2010. Gampel also hosted the first men’s basketball GameDay when the Huskies welcomed Pittsburgh on campus on Jan. 22, 2005. Entering the 2010-11 season, the BIG EAST has had more GameDay appearances than any other conference with 23. This includes home and away sites. The historic contest on Jan. 16 saw each team enter the game undefeated. No. 1/1 Connecticut entered the game at 16-0 (4-0 BIG EAST) while No. 3/3 Notre Dame was 15-0 (2-0 BIG EAST). It was the 25th game between BIG EAST teams ranked in the top 10. The Huskies prevailed 70-46 before a sellout crowd of 10,167 at Gampel. Earlier in the day, more than 3,000 fans showed up to aid in creating a fervent atmosphere for the College GameDay broadcast.
Olympic Bound Geno Auriemma will serve as the head coach of the USA Basketball Women’s National Team for 2009-12. DePaul head coach Doug Bruno will serve as Auriemma’s assistant at least through the 2010 World Championship. Both coaches have been heavily involved in the USA Basketball system throughout their coaching careers. With Auriemma at the helm, the USA Basketball Women’s National Team will compete in the 2010 FIBA World Championship (Sept. 23–Oct. 3 in the Czech Republic), and if the USA qualifies, the 2012 Olympic Games (July 27–Aug. 12 in London).

In 2009, the BIG EAST captured its eighth overall and second straight NCAA Championship behind Connecticut’s NCAA Division I women’s basketball record-breaking 78 consecutive wins. As the season progressed, UConn stayed in the spotlight and several teams sustained their annual prominent stature, while numerous others rose beyond preseason predictions to earn national recognition. The BIG EAST was a constant in the national polls and held solid in the RPI rankings all season. The final BIG EAST regular-season standings had tremendous balance with new programs surfacing in the top half of the Championship bracket. The Conference again swept the national player of the year awards, in addition to eight different student-athletes earning all-America accolades. For the seventh straight year, the BIG EAST continued to lead all leagues in championship attendance, and home attendance figures continue to rise year after year as schools implement new and innovative marketing tactics. Again, the Conference upheld its national, regional and local television exposure.

Notebook Six BIG EAST Players Named to U.S. National Team USA Basketball announced its roster for the 2010 FIBA World Championship with the team consisting of five former BIG EAST stars as well as one current league player. Sue Bird, Diana Taurasi, Swin Cash, Angel McCoughtry and Tina Charles were named to the 12-member team. Charles’ former UConn teammate Maya Moore is the only current collegiate player on Team USA’s roster.
Muffet McGraw Named to Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame
Four BIG EAST Players Named to Wade Watch List UConn senior and two-time winner Maya Moore headlines a talented group of individuals who have been selected to the 2010-11 preseason “Wade Watch” list for the State Farm Wade Trophy Division I Player of the Year. Moore is one of four BIG EAST players among the 25-player list, tying the league with the SEC for the most members from one conference. Joining Moore is junior teammate Tiffany Hayes along with Notre Dame sophomore guard Skylar Diggins and Georgetown sophomore guard Sugar Rodgers. The 25-member list is made up of top NCAA Division I student-athletes who best embody the spirit of Lily Margaret Wade according to the following criteria: game and season statistics, leadership, character, effect on her team and overall playing ability.
Seton Hall Names Donovan Head Coach Notre Dame women’s basketball head coach Muffet McGraw was one of six members of the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame’s Class of 2011. As head coach at Notre Dame, McGraw led the Irish to the 2001 NCAA Division I National Championship and was named 2001 Naismith, Associated Press, WBCA and U.S. Basketball Writers Association National Coach of the Year. In 23 seasons at ND, McGraw has led her teams to two Final Fours, eight Sweet Sixteen appearances and 20 seasons with 20-or-more victories. She was a member of the USA Basketball Women’s Collegiate Committee and a past president of the WBCA Board of Directors. Compiling an overall record of 613-244 in her 28 years as a head coach (.715 win percentage), McGraw is the winningest coach in school history. She holds a 525-203 record in her 23 years with Notre Dame. Last year, UConn’s Rebecca Lobo was inducted as a member of the Class of 2010.
BIG EAST Dominates NCAA New Seton Hall head coach Anne Donovan (right) at her introductory press conference
Olympic gold medalist and Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame member Anne Donovan was named the third head coach in Seton Hall women’s basketball history on March 29, 2010. One of the most decorated people in women’s basketball, Donovan most recently coached the WNBA’s New York Liberty into the Eastern Conference Finals and also spent time with the Seattle Storm. A three-time Olympian, she earned gold medals in 1984 and 1988 as a player. In 2008 she was the head coach of the U.S. National Team and led the squad to a gold medal. She also is the only person to have both played for a national women’s college title (AIAW) and coached a team to a professional title (WNBA).
2010-11 MEDIA GUIDE
Based on the records of the current membership in the NCAA Championship, the BIG EAST boasts the best all-time winning percentage at .667 (206-103). In the last 11 years, the winning percentage increased to .672 (129-63), tied with the SEC for first in the nation. Sixteen different teams earned bids during this 11-year span, two programs won national titles and four different programs have advanced to a Women’s Final Four.

Impact Players Including Four McDonald’s All-Americans Join the BIG EAST For the second–straight year, the BIG EAST will welcome four McDonald’s AllAmericans to its teams. Naismith and Morgan Wooten National Player of the Year Bria Hartley joins Connecticut along with Stephanie Dolson and Samarie Walker. Kayla Davis will play for Notre Dame. Hartley, Dolson and Davis won gold medals at the FIBA U18 Americas Championship. Also joining the league is the 2009-10 State Farm/WBCA Junior College/Community College Player of the Year Andrea Smith at USF. In 2009-10 the league had four McDonald’s All-Americans in Skylar Diggins, (Notre Dame) Kelly Faris (UConn), Sugar Rodgers (Georgetown) and Erica Wheeler (Rutgers).
Looking Back At The 2009-10 Polls Twelve different BIG EAST teams appeared in the national polls during 2009-10, including five at one time. Connecticut spent the entire season ranked No. 1, Notre Dame was in the top 10 all season and West Virginia spent eight weeks ranked in the top 10. Georgetown earned its highest ranking in program history at No. 12 in the Feb. 22 AP poll and No. 11 in the Feb. 15 ESPN/USA Today poll. St. John’s tied its highest ranking in the March 8 AP poll with a No. 15 ranking and set a program standard being ranked No. 16 in the Feb. 22 coaches’ poll.
Officers Auriemma, Bruno, Mitchell & McGraw Connecticut’s Geno Auriemma is in the second year of his two-year term as the WBCA President. By the end of Auriemma’s term, the BIG EAST will have claimed two of the last three WBCA Presidents. DePaul’s Doug Bruno completed his presidential term in August 2007. Also, Notre Dame’s Muffet McGraw continues her leadership in the WBCA on the Board of the Directors and she is in her fourth year as the NCAA Division I Legislative Chair. Marquette’s Terri Mitchell has completed her final year of her three-year term on the WBCA’s Executive Committee as the Treasurer. Connecticut and Rutgers have been selected to play in the 2010 Maggie Dixon Classic, which will take place on Dec. 19 at Madison Square Garden in New York. The highly regarded women’s basketball doubleheader will pit the Scarlet Knights against Texas A&M, while the Huskies will take on Ohio State. It is the fifth year of the tournament and the fourth consecutive to be played at MSG. The first event was held in West Point, N.Y., at Army. All four head coaches participating in the 2010 Maggie Dixon Classic (Rutgers’ C. Vivian Stringer, Texas A&M’s Gary Blair, UConn’s Geno Auriemma and Ohio State’s Jim Foster) are ranked in the top 20 in winning percentage among active coaches.

Nonconference Success The BIG EAST was a combined 168-44 (.792) vs. nonconference opponents during the 2009-10 regular-season - its third-highest winning percentage over the last 10 years.
UConn To Be Featured In ESPN’s Tip-off Marathon UConn will be featured as part of ESPN’s third-annual College Hoops Tip-Off Marathon when the two-time defending national champion squares-off against Baylor on Nov. 16 in the State Farm Women’s Tip-Off Classic. Game time is set for 6 p.m. at the XL Center in Hartford and it will be televised nationally on ESPN2. The UConn/Baylor tilt, the only women’s basketball contest on the slate, will be a rematch of last year’s national semifinal showdown between the two squads.
For the second–straight season, a BIG EAST team won the NCAA Women’s Basketball Championship as UConn rallied from an eight-point halftime deficit (2012) to defeat Stanford 53-47. It was the seventh national title for the Huskies and second consecutive championship. UConn also extended its Division I women’s basketball record winning streak to 78 games. Connecticut earned a berth to the NCAA Final Four for the third straight year, the 10th time in the last 14 years and the 11th time overall, while making its 22nd consecutive NCAA Championship appearance, the third-longest active streak nationally. The BIG EAST has had 16 teams advance to the Final Four, including four different programs.
Capacity Crowds
National Championships The Conference has won eight women’s basketball national championships in the last 16 years (1995, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2009, 2010), including five straight – a feat no other Conference has accomplished. The BIG EAST is also the first Conference to have its schools win both the women’s and men’s titles in consecutive years (2003, 2004). Connecticut is also the only school to win both the men’s and women’s titles in the same year (2004). Over the last 10 years, the BIG EAST has claimed six national titles, with the SEC coming the closest of the other conferences, winning just two. The BIG EAST has sent four different programs and a total of 11 teams to the Final Four and the SEC has sent two programs and 12 teams.
Mountaineer Madness West Virginia was crowned the BIG EAST’s NCAA Pack the House Challenge Champion. The Mountaineers hosted 6,754 fans, the fourthlargest crowd for a women’s basketball game in WVU Coliseum history, at its home game against Georgetown, on Feb. 14, which also coincided with the Women’s Basketball Coaches’ Association’s (WBCA) ‘Pink Zone’ initiative, to raise breast cancer awareness. BIG EAST teams recorded 13 sellouts in 2009-10, including six by Notre Dame. The 13 capacity crowds were the most since the 2004-05 season, proving that the NCAA’s national push to grow the sport of women’s basketball has been a positive initiative.
2010-11 MEDIA GUIDE
All told, WVU had five of the top 20 women’s basketball crowds in Coliseum history during 2009-10. “Pack the House” is a national effort in which conferences and institutions compete to build attendance.

The 2010 All-WNBA First Team included Cappie Pondexter, a 2006 Rutgers graduate, and Diana Taurasi, a 2004 Connecticut grad. Second team accolades went to Angel McCoughtry, Tina Charles and Sue Bird. McCoughtry was a 2009 graduate of Louisville, while Charles and Bird both played for UConn, finishing in 2010 and 2002, respectively.
Postseason Appearances For the second straight season, the BIG EAST had 13 teams qualify for postseason action – the most of any league nationally. In 2010, the BIG EAST had seven teams earn berths into the NCAA Championship – tied for the most nationally.

Thirteen BIG EAST teams advanced to postseason play in 2009. Seven teams earned NCAA Championship berths, while a record six teams appeared in the WNIT. Twelve teams advanced to postseason play in 2008-09. At the conclusion of the 2009-10 season, the BIG EAST had six teams in the top 30 and eight teams in the top 41 of the final RPI rankings, proving the quality of depth among all conferences. The other conferences that had teams ranked in the top 30/top 41 of the RPI as follows: ACC (5/7); Big 12 (6/6); Big Ten (2/3); Pac-10 (5/6); SEC (3/3).
The BIG EAST has had at least one NCAA Sweet Sixteen team every year since 1993 and at least one team in the Elite Eight every year since 1994.
Moore Named 2010 Honda Award Winner for Women’s Basketball University of Connecticut junior Maya Moore, won the 2010 Honda Sports Award in basketball, designating her as the nation’s top collegiate female athlete in that sport. It was the third year in a row that Moore has been nominated for the award. The award is based on the results of national balloting among 1,000 NCAA member schools as part of the Collegiate Women Sports Awards program, now in its 34th year. Moore’s win, coming on the heels of her being named the NCAA Final Four MVP, marks the eighth time that a University of Connecticut basketball player has been honored with the award.
UConn’s Maya Moore Wins Honda-Broderick Cup Maya Moore won the 2009-10 Honda-Broderick Cup, which is given to the collegiate woman athlete of the year. Penn State volleyball star Megan Hodge also won the award, marking the second time there were co-winners. Moore is the fifth BIG EAST student-athlete to win the award and the first since ex-Notre Dame soccer star Cindy Daws captured the award in 1997. Moore also joins former Connecticut women’s basketball standouts Jennifer Rizzotti (1996) and Rebecca Lobo (1995) as honorees. Villanova track & field star Vicki Huber won the league’s first Broderick Cup in 1989.
BIG EAST And Its Television Partners
Beth Mowins
Brooke Weisbrod
Television opportunities – nationally, regionally and locally in major metropolitan media markets – have continued to expand for BIG EAST Women’s Basketball. The league continues to have one of the top television schedules in women’s basketball on the national, regional and local levels. The BIG EAST’s total appearances and games on the national, regional and local levels exceeded the other five power conferences.
All 16 Conference teams were included in the regular-season broadcasts on either ESPN/ESPN2, ESPNU, CBS College Sports or the BIG EAST Regional Sports Network for the fourth straight year. Also for the fourth consecutive year, the BIG EAST Game of the Week was televised in a consistent time slot over nine consecutive Saturdays. The broadcast remained at 2:00 p.m. ET, which allowed many of the RSNs to carry a BIG EAST Men’s/Women’s Doubleheader. In 2009-10 there were 185 television appearances/123 games (national, regional and local broadcasts).

Marinatto follows Michael Tranghese, who had served as BIG EAST Commissioner since 1990, and Dave Gavitt, who served from 1979-1990, as the overseer of the largest Division I athletics conference. Marinatto continues to create the best possible climate for BIG EAST student-athletes to succeed academically and athletically through sportsmanship and ethical conduct. Already established in the world of college athletics, Marinatto has continued to further his involvement in the national landscape of the business during his first year as commissioner. He currently serves on the NCAA Leadership Council, CCA Women’s Basketball Task Force, NCAA Value Based Decision Making Task Force, Men’s and Women’s Basketball Officiating LLC Board of Directors, College Football Officiating Board of Directors and NACDA Executive Committee. Marinatto brings a deep-rooted familiarity with the BIG EAST into his role as commissioner. He had served as the conference’s senior associate commissioner since 2002 and spent 14 years as Director of Athletics at Providence College. His wide and varied experience on conference and national committees adds to his expertise. As the league’s senior associate commissioner, Marinatto had been the BIG EAST’s chief operating officer. He oversaw all administrative operations including NCAA governance, compliance communications, television and championships. Marinatto also served as the conference’s treasurer. Marinatto played a critical role in the creation and development of the strategic plan to reconfigure the BIG EAST into its current 16-member consortium. He has served on committees which have negotiated lucrative contracts with television partners CBS Sports and ESPN, Inc. in football and basketball and with marketing partner ISP Sports. During the BIG EAST’s term as the lead administrator of the BCS in 2002-04, Marinatto served as the group’s Chief Financial and Business Officer. Marinatto’s connection to the founders of the BIG EAST dates to his undergraduate days at Providence College, when he served as a manager for a Friar basketball program that was coached by Gavitt and had Tranghese as its sports information director. After graduating from Providence in 1979 with a degree in business management, he served his alma mater as Associate Director of Alumni/Development. He also served as Director of Sports Promotions and Director of Sports Information before moving into the athletic director’s chair in 1987, shortly after the men’s basketball team competed in the NCAA Final Four. During his tenure as athletic director, Marinatto served as the BIG EAST Athletic Directors’ Executive Committee Chairman for four years, was the chair of the BIG EAST Finance Committee and the chair of the Conference Strategic Planning Committee. He also served on the BIG EAST Championships and Competition Committee. Marinatto’s experience on NCAA committees began while he was at Providence. He was an NCAA Business and Finance Cabinet Member from 1993-95. Providence hosted numerous NCAA championship events under Marinatto’s watch, including the 2000 Men’s Frozen Four, the 2003 Women’s Basketball East Regional and the 1996 Men’s Basketball First and Second Rounds. Friar sports teams enjoyed significant success during Marinatto’s tenure of leadership, including the women’s cross country team, which won the NCAA Championship in 1995. Marinatto was born and raised in Providence, R.I.

News & Notes The BIG Picture
Who’s Gone
Former Connecticut assistant Jamelle Elliott enters her second season with the Bearcats, after having spent 12 years on UConn’s staff. She directed the Bearcats to a win in the BIG EAST Championship in her first season. Elliott also is the only current BIG EAST women’s basketball head coach that also played in the BIG EAST. The Bearcats will celebrate their 40th season of women’s basketball in 2010-11.
The Bearcats will seek to fill the void left by two of the most accomplished players in school history in guard Kahla Roudebush and forward Michelle Jones. Roudebush was in UC’s top 10 in career scoring and several other categories, and Jones posted over 1,000 career points and 600 career rebounds.
Who’s Returning Senior point guard Shareese Ulis is the Bearcats’ leading returning scoring, having posted 11.4 points per game, good for 26th in the BIG EAST. She also ranked in the top 15 in assists (3.2, 14th), free throw percentage (.797, 11th), assist-to-turnover ratio (1.0, 14th), and minutes (34.7, 8th). UC also welcomes back former All-BIG EAST Rookie Team member Shelly Bellman, who missed the 2009-10 season due to injury. Bellman, who has averaged 9.4 points and 5.5 rebounds during her career, has been granted a sixth year of eligibility. ha
Storylines Freshman guard Kayla Cook, an ESPN Top 100 recruit, will look to help immediately, as will Vanderbilt transfer Chanel Chisholm, who sat out the 2009-10 season due to NCAA transfer guidelines. In addition junior college transfer Bjonee Reaves is expected to contribute right away. Elliott’s mentor, Hall of Fame head coach Geno Auriemma, posted 12 wins in his first season at Connecticut. His second season saw the Huskies improve to 14-13, the first of 22 consecutive winning seasons.
35.3% In their 12 wins last season, the Bearcats shot 35.3 percent from 3-point range. In games they lost, Cincinnati shot just 28.8 percent from beyond the arc. The play of guard Shelly Bellman, who has shot 33.2 percent from 3-point range for her career, should help.

News & Notes The BIG Picture
Who’s Gone
The Huskies won their seventh national championship in 2010, also their second straight. What’s even more remarkable is that they completed their second straight undefeated season and carry a Division I record 78-game winning streak into 2010-11. It was UConn’s fourth perfect season in program history. UConn also enters the year having won either the BIG EAST regular-season or championship titles in each of the last 17 seasons. UConn has also advanced to the NCAA Regionals in each of the last 17 seasons and is coming off three straight Final Four appearances.
BIG EAST Player of the Year and WNBA No. 1 draft pick Tina Charles departs following graduation. She averaged 18.2 points and 9.5 rebounds per game en route to winning the Wooden Award, Naismith Trophy and the Associated Press Player of the Year awards. Guard Kalana Greene (11.4 points) also graduates along with center Kaili McLaren (3.0 points). Reserves Meghan Gardler (4.4 points) and Jacquie Fernandes also graduated. The quartet helped lead UConn to two NCAA titles, four BIG EAST regular-season crowns and three BIG EAST Championship titles.
Who’s Returning
Storylines
Two-time Wade Trophy winner Maya Moore (18.9 points) returns for her senior season having captured virtually every individual accolade at least once in the past two years.

The 2010 Final Four Most Outstanding Player, Moore has totaled 2,168 career points. Junior guard Tiffany to Hayes (10.2 points, 3.3 rebounds) also returns Ha along with senior guard Lorin Dixon (2.9 al points, guard Kelly po oints, 61 assists). Sophomore Sop should see an Faris (4.1 points, 3.7 rebounds) Fa re expanded role.
UConn is expected to rank atop the preseson polls this year and faces a tough early-season schedule. The Huskies will face numerous teams selected to last year’s NCAA Championship, as well as three Final Four teams. UConn welcomes five freshmen to the team, including three McDonald’s All-America selections in Stephanie Dolson, Bria Hartley and Samarie Walker. Guard Caroline Doty suffered another knee injury in late August and is out for the year. Head coach Geno Auriemma continues to balance responsibilities as the USA Basketball Women’s National Team head coach.
Connecticut ticut has won an NCAA record 78-straight ght games entering the 2010-11 season, including two consecutive national championships. The Huskies also are the first team in NCAA history to post back-toback undefeated seasons.

News & Notes The BIG Picture
Who’s Gone
DePaul returns all five starters from its 200910 roster and welcomes back its entire bench minus guard Courtney Webb (2.4 points). The Blue Demons averaged 68.3 points per game while they shot .421 from the field. Senior Deirdre Naughton also returns to the Blue Demon bench after the NCAA granted her a sixth season. On Nov. 6, 2010 DePaul will officially name the court at McGrath Arena the Doug Bruno Court. Also this summer, Bruno has signed a contract extension through the 201617 season. Bruno also will balance responsibilities as an assistant coach with the U.S. National Team.
The Blue Demons will be without the services of reserve guard Courtney Webb who played in 17 games last year and averaged 2.4 points and 1.1 rebounds.
Who’s Returning Senior Deirdre Naughton returns to the Blue Demon bench after the NCAA granted her a sixth season of eligibility. Naughton went down in the fifth game of the 09-10 season with an ACL injury. Prior to her injury, the senior was a preseason Wade Watch, John R. Wooden and Naismith Award watch candidate. Naughton enters the Aw 2010-11 season with 1,470 career points and is a 20 career .430 field goal percentage. Senior Sam ca Quigley, Qu uigley, a 2009-10 ffinalist for the Nancy Lieberman Award and a second-team All-BIG Lie EAST performer, also returns retu for her senior season along with junior Keisha Hampton (15.3 points).
Storylines With a bulk of last year’s team returning, the Blue Demons are looking to make their ninth straight NCAA appearance in 2011. Guard Deirdre Naughton should be among the top players in the country and creates an elite backcourt for the squad along with senior Sam Quigley (13.1 points). Forwards Felicia Chester (6.9 points), Katherine Harry (7.8 rebounds) and Keisha Hampton (13.8 points) should also contribute offensively and could lead an explosive offensive attack. The Blue Demons also were able to squeeze in a trip to France in September that included a tour of the life and works of St. Vincent DePaul.
DePaul returnss all five starters from last season. Averaging ging 22 wins and a berth in the NCAA Championship every year since joining the BIG EAST, the Blue Demons are a model of consistent success.

News & Notes The BIG Picture
Who’s Gone
The Hoyas return three starters from last year’s NCAA Championship qualifying team, including BIG EAST Freshman of the Year Sugar Rodgers. Coming off its best season in more than a decade, Georgetown led the league in steals (12.9) and turnover margin (+8.1), while ranking second in 3-point field goals (6.3 per game). Similar numbers are expected this year as an experienced core of players return. Georgetown also begins the year with a 15-game home court winning streak dating to March of 2009. Could a school-record third-straight 20-win season be on the horizon?
For the first time in two seasons, the Hoyas have more upperclassmen than underclassmen making this one of the more veteran groups, ever under Williams-Flournoy. Filling the loss of Jaleesa Butler (9.1 points, 6.2 rebounds) to graduaton will be the primary concern. Ranked as the team’s leading rebounder and third-best scorer, Butler was a key cog in the middle of the Hoyas gameplan. Shanice Fuller also was a valuable starter who graduated. Her production (3.6 points, 2.1 rebounds) in starting 27 games for the Hoyas was valuable.
Who’s Returning
Georgetown garnered its second NCAA Championship berth last season and first since 1993. Earning a No. 5 seed, the Hoyas also finished tied for second in the BIG EAST regularseason standings with a 13-3 league mark. It was the Hoyas best finish since 1996-97. Can they do it again? With a bulk of the team returning, the Hoyas are in position to be contenders for years to come. Georgetown finished last season ranked No. 13 in the Associated Press poll and No. 17 in the USA Today rankings. The 2010-11 season should bring much of the same.
An experienced core of players, including All-BIG EAST First Team guard Sugar Rodgers (17.6 points) returns for Georgetown. Point guard Rubylee Wright moves into the starting role, while Monica McNutt (11.2 points) brings an outside shooting touch (66 3-pointers, 35.3 ppercent). Inside at the post position, junior Amanda Reese will be back from a knee injury Am suffered last season. GU will continue to play its su fast-paced fa p ggame lookingg to press for 40 minutes and Look for Adria Crawford, an nd force turnovers. Loo Tia Magee and Wright to move into leadership roles with just one senior on the team in McNutt.
Storylines
The Hoyas earned their highest ranking in the Associated Press poll last year when they checked in at No. 12 on March 1, 2010. The week before Georgetown was ranked No. 11 in the ESPN USA Today Coaches poll.

News & Notes The BIG Picture
Who’s Gone
The Cardinals return four starters and eight letterwinners from a 2009-10 season that saw them go 14-18, a year after appearing in the NCAA title game. With the departure of one starter and six letterwinners, Louisville will rely on youth this year as six newcomers join the team. Most publications regard the class as a top-five recruiting class. WBCA All-American Shoni Schimmel is joined by three McDonalds All-America nominees, including forward Shawnta Dyer, center Sheronne Vails and guard Charmaine Tay.
During the offseason it was announced that two-sport athlete Gwen Rucker will focus solely on volleyball next season. Forward Ashley Rainey has transferred to Lindsey Wilson College to be closer to home and forward Laura Terry will take a medical hardship after undergoing her third knee surgery. Late in the summer it was announced that guard Deseree’ Byrd (six games played as a junior in 2009-10) would not return due to personal reasons.
Who’s Returning Junior Monique Reid (18.4 points and 9.2 rebounds) along with senior Keshia Hines (9.1 points, 6.9 rebounds) anchors a frontline that could be one of the most lethal in the BIG EAST. Reid earned the league’s Most Improved Player Award last season, in part by raising her scoring from 5.9 points as a freshman. Add junior guard Becky Burke (13.8 points) and you’ve got one of the top scoring trios in the BIG EAST. Sophomore guard Nikki Burton (5.9 points, 3.6 So rebounds) returns as well. The Cardinals defense re must m ust improve however, aafter ranking last in the conference allowing 68.9 points.
Storylines Under the direction of fourth-year head coach Jeff Walz, the Cardinals will blend a handful of veterans with the most talented freshman class in school history. Coming off a year which saw Louisville earn a berth into the Women’s Basketball Invitational tournament, the Cardinals look to build off that with a return to the NCAA Championship berth in 2010-11. Offense should come easily to the team and with a solid defensive effort, there are plenty of reasons to see why the Cardinals could be flying high this year.
Louisville welcomes comes six freshman to its roster. Ranked by most publications as a very strong recruiting class, head coach Jeff Walz will expect immediate contributions from them. Guard Shoni Schimmel, who was selected to the WBCA High School AllAmerica game, should lead the group.

With seven upperclassmen, including six seniors, the Golden Eagles are poised for a solid year in 2010-11. Six newcomers also are set to join the squad, including five freshmen. Junior Andi Oordt joins the team as a forward and looks to continue the success Marquette has had with players from Kirkwood Community College (most recently Lauren Thomas-Johnson). A number of the freshmen are ranked among HoopGurlz top 50 rankings, and could contribute immediately. Adding six newcomers could pose a challenge to some, but under the direction of veteran head coach Terri Mitchell, the Golden Eagles should fly high.
Marquette loses two starters in forward Jessica Pachko and guard Lauren Thomas-Johnson. Each were key components to the Golden Eagles’ team. Pachko averaged 10.4 points and 6.3 rebounds while Thomas-Johnson contributed 8.2 points and 40 3-pointers. Thomas-Johnson hit double-figures in scoring 10 times last season, while Pachko accomplished the feat on 18 occasions. Guard Janelle Harris also will not return following graduation.

Seven letterwinners, including three starters, return for the Golden Eagles. Guard Angel Robinson leads with way following an All-BIG EAST Second Team selection last year. As the team’s top returnee, her 11.9 points and 4.7 assists should increase this year and pace the Marquette offense. Robinson also has started 72 straight games. Backcourt senior Tatiyiana st McMorris combines to anchor the guard spot. M Sophomore Sarina Simmons also should start at So forward. averaged 7.2 points and 5.3 fo rward. Last year she ave Simmons also earned a spot rebounds per game. Simm re Freshman team last year. on the All-BIG EAST Fresh
Storylines The Golden Eagles went 12-4 in home games last season, but just 3-10 off-campus. Getting road wins could prove crucial for the team to fare well. The Golden Eagles also were 0-10 when trailing at the half last year. Learning to fight back in games will be key. Defensively the team was 14-2 when holding its opponent to less than 60 points. That kind of staunch play should carry over this year as well. A blend of six seniors, led by Robinson and five freshmen should provide for an interesting mix.
Marquette tte went 14-2 last season when holding itss opponent to 60 points or less. A closer look reveals that the two losses came against teams that qualified for postseason play, Providence (WNIT) and Wisconsin (NCAA).

A solid core, including All-BIG EAST Second Team pick Skylar Diggins, welcomes three talented freshmen. The newcomers include consensus prep All-America guard and USA Basketball gold medalist Kayla McBride, Canadian National Team forward Natalie Achonwa and two-time Michigan Player of the Year Ariel Braker. It is the second consecutive season the Irish have added a McDonald’s AllAmerican (Skylar Diggins). Notre Dame set attendance records last season, ranking fourth in the nation averaging of 8,377 fans, including a school-record six sellouts. ND expects to challenge those figures again.
Losing three starters will not be easy. Combining for roughly 50 percent of the team’s scoring, guards Ashley Barlow, Melissa Lechlitner and Lindsay Schrader, along with center Erica Williamson all leave due to graduation. Barlow was a two-time All-BIG EAST selection who scored nearly 1,500 career points and ranked in the top-10 in numerous ND career categories. Lechlitner started all 35 games last season and averaged 8.4 points, while shooting 84.5 percent fromt the free throw line. Schrader ranked second on team team, averaging 11.3 points, along with a team-best 6.9 rebounds.

Who’s Returning
Diggins will be expected to provide more leadership with the loss of three starters. The freshman should have ample opportunity to contribute right away. In June 2011, Notre Dame head coach Muffet McGraw officially will be inducted into the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame in Knoxville, Tenn., becoming the third BIG EAST coach to be honored for her accomplishments on the sidelines (after Connecticut’s Geno Auriemma and Rutgers’ C. Vivian Stringer).

News & Notes The BIG Picture
Who’s Gone
Following a record fifth-straight postseason appearance, Pitt enters 2010-11 with a veteran core and high hopes of advancing to the NCAA Championship for the fourth time in five years. Head coach Agnus Berenato has led the Panthers to five straight winning seasons to go along with five postseason berths. During that span, Pitt has averaged 22 wins per season. With a bevy of seniors, who could leave the program as the winningest class in school history, the Panthers are loaded with experience. Back-to-back NCAA Championship Sweet 16 appearances in 2008 and 2009 have given this team a winning foundation.
The Panthers will go forward without the services of would-be juniors Pepper Wilson, Kate Popovec and Sarah Ogoke following the transfer of all three players. Wilson was a 200809 All-Big East Rookie Team selection who averaged 6.8 points and 6.4 rebounds. She played in 33 games and started 32.
Who’s Returning A strong senior class, including All-BIG EAST Honorable Mention performers Chelsea Cole and Jania Sims lead the way. Cole, a forward, averaged 9.1 points and a league-leading 11.6 rebounds in conference play. Sims is a guard who posted 12.9 points per contest. Mix in sizeable contributions from senior guards Shayla Scott (10.2 ppg) and Brittaney Thomas (8.6 ppg), along alo with senior guard Taneisha Harrison (12.9 ppg) and it equals a wealth of experience (12 and production. Scott also averaged 5.7 rebounds an per Panthers could conceivably pe er game last year. The Pa start five seniors.
Storylines With five seniors and six freshmen, the Panthers will be an interesting mix of experience and youth. Blending a core of players who have significant postseason experience, with highly touted freshmen could be a challenge, but under the direction of coach Agnus Berenato, there is a steady presence. Entering her eighth season with the Panthers, Berenato earned her 400th career win last season. She has rejuvinated the program and led it to its first NCAA Championship berths.
Pittsburgh has advanced dvanced to postseason play in each of the last five seasons, a school record. With three NCAA Championship berths and two WNIT appearances, the Panthers enter 2010-11 looking for their fourth NCAA bid in the last five years.

News & Notes The BIG Picture
Who’s Gone
The Friars are coming off their first winning season since 1991-92 and return six letterwinners, including four players who have experience in the starting lineup. Senior forward/guard Mi-Khida Hankins is the team’s leading returning scorer (11.0 ppg) and rebounder (5.3 rpg). She played in 29 games last season and is one of the most athletic players in the league. A strong group of newcomers will be asked to contribute right away, as two transfers (Miranda Tate and Teya Wright) become eligible and join junior college addition Rachel Barnes. All three could make an immediate impact.
The Friars will have to replace four key players from last season’s team that went 19-15 overall (7-9 BIG EAST) and advanced to the quarterfinals of the WNIT. Guard Chelsea Marandola will go down as one of the top Friar players in recent memory. Marandola averaged 18.0 points last year and was the first Providence player to earn All-BIG EAST First Team honors since 1994. In 119 career games with the Friars, Marandola recorded 1,795 points and 651 rebounds. She ranks third all-time at Providence in career scoring and 16th all-time in rebounding. Center Emily Cournoyer (8.5 points, 4.8 rebounds) also will be missed.
Who’s Returning
Storylines
Guards Lola Wells (3.2 points) and Symone Roberts (4.9 points) both have experience in the starting lineup and will be counted on significantly. Guard/forward Tiffany Hurd (2.3 points) and forward Chandler McCabe (2.5 points) also will be counted on to fill a bigger role for the team this season. The Friars add two transfers to their six letterwinners. Guard tra Miranda Tate joins the team from South Carolina, M while forward Teya Wright comes from UMass. w Both will provide depth Bo p p at their respective positions and will compete for starting spots. po
Providence was picked to finish 15th in 2009-10, yet exceeded all expectations with an eighthplace finish and a bye in the first round of the BIG EAST Championship. The Friars’ seven wins in league play marked the most since 2001-02. Providence advanced to the quarterfinals of the WNIT. The team’s 3-1 record in the WNIT marked the most wins in a single post-season tournament in program history. Guard Chelsea Marandola was a major reason for that success. Providence will try to fill the void with six newcomers who comprise the 29th-best recruiting class in the nation, according to the All-Star Girls’ Report.
The Friarss are coming off of their most successful season since 1992, after posting a 19-15 overall record and advancing to the quarterfinal round of the WNIT. Providence posted seven wins in BIG EAST play and tied for eighth place in the league standings.

News & Notes The BIG Picture
Who’s Gone
Coming off its 12th NCAA Championship appearance in the last 15 seasons, Rutgers is once again poised to create waves across the college basketball landscape. RU has three starters and six letterwinners returning this year. Interestingly the Scarlet Knights’ roster touts no seniors. Junior guard Khadijah Rushdan will be counted on to increase her scoring, along with classmate and forward Chelsey Lee. Tough defense has always been a calling card for the Scarlet Knights and under the direction of head coach C. Vivian Stringer Rutgers should once again be a force in the league.
Brittany Ray was not just the team’s leading scorer (14.2 ppg), but also the squad’s emotional anchor. The three-year starter closed her collegiate career ranked No. 2 all-time in 3-pointers (189) in the RU record book. Ray, a 2009-10 All-BIG EAST Second Team honoree, drained 66 3-pointers last season - the thirdhighest single season total in RU history. Also departed to graduation are Myia McCurdy and Rashidat Junaid – both key components. McCurdy earned a starting spot last season in 22 of 34 games, averaging a team second-best 4.5 rebounds. Junaid - a back-up to Lee in the middle - averaged 5.7 points.
Who’s Returning The most notable returning performers are junior guard Khadijah Rushdan and junior forward Chelsey Lee, the two leading returning scorers. Rushdan accounted for a large portion of the Scarlet Knights total offensive production, averaging 9.0 ppg (second on team) and a teamhigh g 3.6 assists. Lee had a notable increase in production chipping in 7.2 points and a teampr high 7.2 rebounds, including five double-doubles. hig Forward/guard April Sykes (5.6 points) also Fo would w ould be counted on.
Storylines Last season, Rutgers grinded its way to a 19-15 record, including a 9-7 mark in conference play. Bouyed by the fourth-toughest schedule in the country, the Scarlet Knights qualified for their eighth straight NCAA Championship. That experience should pay dividends for the Scarlet Knights this fall. With the addition of junior college transfer forward Julie Paunovic, and highly regarded freshmen Briana Hutchen and Daisha Simmons, Rutgers should challenge for another NCAA berth.
Tough defense has long been associated with Rutgers under the direction of head coach C. Vivian Stringer. Last year the Scarlet Knights held their opponents to just 34.8 percent shooting from the field and ranked second in the BIG EAST. That figured also ranked ninth nationally.

News & Notes The BIG Picture
Who’s Gone
St. John’s returns nine letterwinners and four starters from a team who finished the season 15th in the AP rankings and No. 18 in the USA Today Coaches’ Poll, the highest rankings in program history. The Red Storm is coming off of its best season in school history, finishing the year 25-7 overall, a 13-1 home record and tying the program mark in BIG EAST wins with 12. The 25 wins was the Red Storm’s highest win-total since 1982-83. St. John’s made its fifth appearance in the NCAA Tournament, advancing to the second round with a 65-47 win over Princeton. The NCAA tournament bid was its fifth postseason appearance in six years. Adding to the nine returners is six newcomers who can provide key depth as St. John’s looks for one finest season to date.
Guard Kelly McManon and forward Joy McCorvey have both graduated and will be missed. McManmon finished her career as the program’s all-time leader in 3-pointers made (219) and averaged 7.6 points. She also ranked ninth among all players in the nation during 2009-10 with a 44.5 3-point field goal percentage, connecting on 69-of-155 attempts. McCorvey started in all 32 games last season and totaled 120 during her career. She averaged 7.2 points and 7.2 rebounds last season while shooting 51.6 percent from the field.
Who’s Returning Junior forward Da’Shena Stevens is wellknown throughout the league as a force to be reckoned with, but this season the rest of the country could take notice. An Associated Press All-American Honorable Mention team pick last season, Stevens will be among the top players in the country this year. An All-BIG EAST First Team th selection in 2009-10, Stevens led the team in se scoring (14.3 ppg) and rebounding (7.6 rpg). sc Guards Gu uards Shenneika Smith (12.9 ppg), Nadirah McKenith (5.0 apg, 2.2 spg) M sp and Sky Lindsay critical components. (6.9 ppg) also will be critica
Storylines Coming off its fifth NCAA Championship appearance, the Red Storm were on the brink of advancing to their first Sweet 16 berth. An overtime loss at then-No. 11 Florida State will serve as building block for a team and a program that could have a banner year in 2010-11. Under the direction of ninth-year head coach Kim Barnes Arico, the Red Storm have a solid core of returning talent. Barnes Arico enters the year just eight wins behind Joe Mullaney, Jr. (currently an assistant at Villanova) for the most wins in school history.
St. John’s outscored its opponents by 12.5 points nts last season to rank third in league in scoring margin. Averaging 70.2 ppg on the offensive end, the Red Storm allowed just 57.7 points. One area of concern could be the scoring from the free throw line where St. John’s shot just 61.7 percent.

Replacing the most prominent name in Seton Hall women’s basketball history is never easy, but when you can add one of the most prominent names in women’s basketball history, it can help ease the transition. Following the departure of 25-year head coach Phyllis Mangina, Seton Hall named Anne Donovan head coach, just the third in program history. A native of Ridgewood, N.J., Donovan is an Olympic gold medalist and Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame member. Most recently she served as head coach of the WNBA’s New York Liberty.
With the departure of three players due to graduation, Seton Hall will welcome new leadership on the court as well. Guard Ashley Booker averaged 2.1 points and made 22 starts. Forwards Letitia Curry and Nicole Emery also will need to be replaced. Curry averaged 3.0 points and 4.5 rebounds per game last year starting in 17 games. Emery ranked third on the team in scoring averaging 9.5 points. She also grabbed 4.1 rebounds and started 28 games for the team.
SPORTS INFORMATION
Who’s Returning
The Pirates will have seven new faces on the roster as the infusion of new blood extends from the coaching staff to the players. Seton Hall’s five-member freshman class is ranked 24th in the country by HoopGurlz. New head coach Anne Donovan has found success at the highest levels of women’s basketball, having led the Seattle Storm to the 2004 WNBA championship and the 2008 United States Olympic Team to a gold medal in Beijing, China. As a proven winner on the bench and one of the game’s top players to ever take the court, Donovan has increased the excitement level at The Hall and has the program positioned for success.

Key Stat
News & Notes The BIG Picture
Who’s Gone
The Bulls are coming off their seventh straight postseason appearance and look forward to an unprecedented eighth postseason bid for the program, and a goal of their second NCAA invite. USF went 15-16 last season, but has had 42 wins over the past two seasons. Under the direction of Jose Fernandez who enters his 11th season with the Bulls, the team should once again be a tough opponent. Six newcomers and four transfers will join the squad this year. Blending in highly touted junior college players with a solid base of underclassmen is always a challenge, but something the program has done regularly.
With the departure of three starters and six letterwinners, USF will look to reload quickly and maintain its perennial status as a team to be reckoned with. Center Jessica Lawson was unquestionably the heart and soul of the team averaging 14.5 points and 10.5 rebounds last season. She also was the only player to start all 31 games. Guard Janae Stokes’ scoring punch also will be missed (12.1 points). Forwards Sequoyah Griffin (9.7 points) and Melissa Dalembert (6.5 points) were solid contributors as well.
Who’s Returning
USF has signed one of its best recruiting classes in years. National Junior College Player of the Year Andrea Smith and her twin sister Andrell will join the Bulls this season. In addition, USF will have the services of Daleisha Carn (who transferred from Alabama) and Sasha Baker (who transferred from Indiana). Baker will be eligible to play following the first semester.
The Bulls return just two starters off last year’s WNIT team. Those returnees include All-BIG EAST Freshman Team member KaNeisha Saunders and Leondra Doomes-Stephens. Saunders, a guard, averaged 9.6 points and 3.4 assists per game. Doomes-Stephens, also a forward/guard, averaged 7.1 points and 4.3 rebounds per outing. re
Storylines
42 The Bulls have totaled 42 wins over the last two years, s, including a 27-win campaign in 2008-09. With the addition of National Junior College Player of the Year Andrea Smith headlining seven newcomers, the Bulls will look for continued success in 2010-11.

Who’s Gone
Despite losing three starters, including All-BIG EAST First Team selection Nicole Michael, the Orange return 10 lettterwinners, along with a pair of impact transfers and add four solid freshmen. Coming off a deep run in the WNIT Championship, Syracuse should vie for its second NCAA Championship berth in the last four years. Under the direction of fifth-year head coach Quentin Hillsman, the Orange will challenge for a berth in the NCAA Championship.
Guard Nicole Michael graduates as one of the most prolific players in BIG EAST history. An Associated Press All-American Honorable Mention team pick last season, Michael left Syracuse as the program’s all-time leading scorer (1,787 points) and rebounder (996). She started all 35 games last season and ranked first on the club in scoring (14.3 ppg) and rebounding (7.8 rpg). Michael also ranked first in 3-point baskets made (58) and 3-point field goal percentage (.341). Guard Juanita Ward (9.5 ppg) also graduated.
Who’s Returning The returnees include two seniors, shooting guard Erica Morrow and point guard Tasha Harris. Morrow ranks third on SU’s all time 3-point field goals made (171), fourth in steals (2.2), sixth in scoring (13.7), seventh on SU’s alltime scoring list (1,325). Harris ranks seventh in assist average (4.0) and tied for ninth in games started (97). The Orange also welcomes back a solid core of juniors in Tyler Ash, Troya Berry and Chanieka Williams as well as All-BIG EAST EA Freshman Team honorees Kayla Alexander and an Carmen Tyson-Thomas.

Storylines Syracuse add two highly touted newcomers to its veteran-laded squad. Junior Iasia Hemingway and redshirt freshman Shakeya Leary join the the mix in 2010-11.Hemingway scored 625 points and grabbed 297 rebounds in her two years at Georgia Tech. Leary was named to the New York Daily News First Team as a junior and senior. She averaged 7.9 points, 9.5 rebounds in league play as a senior. Four freshmen complete the SU roster. After going 3-1 in the WNIT last season, Syracuse won more than one postseason game for the first time in program history.
Guard Erica Morrow rrow enters the year ranked third on the school’s chool’s all-time 3-point list with 171 made trifectas. In conference action, Morrow has drained 87 3-pointers and could move into the top-20 of the league’s all-time list this season.

News & Notes The BIG Picture
Who’s Gone
Villanova returns seven letterwinners, including a pair of starters. Known for prolific 3-point shooting, the Wildcats shot just 29.0 percent from long range last season. Rebounding also must improve this year following last year’s 30.6 per game average, which ranked last in the BIG EAST. But under the guidance of head coach Harry Perretta, who enters his 33rd season on the Villanova sidelines, the Wildcats trademark cutting offense again should provide an unenviable look for opponents.
The team lost three starters due to graduation in Maria Getty, Kyle Dougherty and Tia Grant. Getty, arguably the team’s most valuable player, averaged a team-high 11.6 points last season. She also earned All-BIG EAST Honorable Mention honors as well as the league’s Sportsmanship Award. Dougherty chipped in 5.2 points and Grant added 6.1 points. Dougherty was one of the most improved players on the team last season. Grant was injured midway through the year. Center Shannon Elliott (4.1 ppg, 2.9 rpg) also departs.
Who’s Returning Forward Laura Sweeney blossomed into one of the top young players in the league earning AllBIG EAST Freshman Team honors. Sweeney averaged 10.0 points and 5.3 rebounds. She also earned the league’s Sixth Man Award. Center Heather Scanlon (5.5 points, 4.5 rebounds) is poised to hold a larger role with the team as well. Guard Lindsay Kimmel, a transfer from nearby Temple, also should provide an immediate impact.
Key Stat
Storylines Villanova showed perseverance and maintained a strong work ethic despite the number of injuries that the team endured throughout the season. Villanova finished the season with 52 games missed due to injury, including losing two starters for the year during the month of December. Despite that, the Wildcats finished with a 14-16 mark. The team also used a 10-day trip to Italy last May to jump-start the 2010-11 campaign. VU went 4-0 during the trip and improved to 14-0 all-time in foreign tour play.
33 Villanova’s Harry Perretta has coached in the BIG EAST longer than any other women’s basketball coach in the conference and enters his 33rd season in 2010-11. Although the BIG EAST began (1981-82) one year before Villanova joined (1982-83), Perretta has been on the sideline for every Villanova game in BIG EAST history.

News & Notes The BIG Picture
Who’s Gone
The Mountaineers had a super 2009-10 campaign going 29-6, 13-3 BIG EAST play. WVU advanced to the title game of the BIG EAST Championship for the second time in school history (also accomplished in 2006). This year they return eight letterwinners. West Virginia finished the year ranked No. 16 in the USA Today/Coaches’ Poll and No. 10 in the AP Poll. The final rankings were the highest in school history since 1991-92. West Virginia also advanced to the NCAA Championship for the third time in the last four years.
Not losing a starter should be a significant advantage for the Mountaineers this season. The continunity of a core group that won 29 games last season should prove valuable. Guards Akeema Richards (2.1 points), Amanda Wright (0.7 points) and Jessica Capers (0.3 ppg) were all reserve players who will not return.
Who’s Returning Led by All-BIG EAST First Team selection Liz Repella, West Virginia has one of the most veteran teams in the league. The guard averaged a team-leading 13.9 ppg last year, along with 5.9 rpg. Forward/guard Korinne Campbell also will be relied on heavily after averaging 10.5 points and 7.4 rebounds. Guard Sarah Miles also will be key to the team’s success as her scoring (10.1 ppg last season) gives the team another offensive threat. Center Asya Bussie an (10.1 ppg, 5.5 rpg) and forward Madina Ali (6.7 (10 ppg, 7.0 rpg) also made 30+ starts last season pp and players. an nd are experienced playe
Storylines Coming off the highest number of wins in school history (29) along with a solid core of eight letterwinners, West Virginia is poised for success in 2010-11. The Mountaineers also are riding a 17-game home court win streak dating back to February 2009. Guard Liz Repella will be the focal point of the team, both on and off the court. She was an ESPN The Magazine First Team Academic All-America selection last year, as well as the 2009 BIG EAST Women’s Basketball Scholar-Athlete of the Year.
The Mountaineers enter the 2010-11 season riding a 17-game home court win streak dating back to February 2009. Last season West Virginia outscored its opponents by +19.5 points at home. In its games away from WVU Coliseum, the Mountaineers outscored their opponents by just +3.0 points.
