I will admit that I am not impartial. She should have been voted better than third-team.

I agree with this. Kind of shows how deep the conference is in WBB talent.

Side note: The ladies got bounced in the 1st round of the BIg XII tourney last night by 15 seed ASU.

The Utes are really good. They carved the Bearcats up today, 92-65. Their offense is really good at getting excellent shooters open looks, hitting 16 of 32 from outside. They passed the ball quickly in a modern day style that's very similar to that of the BYU men. The ball hit the ground only when they drove or feigned a drive.

The Utes smothered Jillian Hayes the entire game (7 pts & 7 reb) with taller, quicker players, all of whom can score to boot. Tineya Hylton led the Cats with 16.

Incoming freshman Dee Alexander has been named to the 2025 McDonald's All-American Games, becoming the first Cincinnati women's basketball signee in program history to earn the prestigious honor.

Alexander is a five-star recruit, the highest-rated signee in Cincinnati history, and the No. 1 player in Ohio according to Prep Hoops. She was recently selected to the 2025 Nike Hoop Summit roster and the Naismith Girls' High School Player of the Year Midseason Team.

A star for Purcell Marian High School, Alexander has consistently delivered standout performances, including a program-record 50-point game in a 95-49 victory over Roger Bacon on Jan. 22. She has led Purcell Marian to three Ohio High School Athletic Association State Championships.

This team really has a penchant for comebacks. Hayes went on a personal 8-0 run to turn a 6 point deficit into a 2 point lead with under a minute left.
