Definitely going to be an interesting season. Only thing I know for sure is the Jack's are the likely favorite to repeat as WNIT champs. Well, then here is hoping that ORU represents the SL well at the big dance. |

That would be another year the Jackrabbits come a bit short of the hope and aspiration. However, they did a decent job of making lemonade out of the lemons that were delivered. Right now, the point guard position has been handed over to freshmen as injury has 2 point guards watching from the sideline. Hopefully the Jackrabbits can manage better than a year ago with a 4-7 OOC start which found more than a couple of injuries. Meanwhile, has there ever been a back to back WNIT winner? |

A (relatively) healthy Hempe could be a real boon to this team. Nice. A healthy Hempe this year is 1st Team All Summit according to me. |

This SL season is pretty intriguing to me:
> USD had bench last year that likely would have finished 3rd in the SL. How will they respond from injuries and/or being the focus of the opponent's defense? How long will it take to gel? And what will Coach K's identity be with this group?
> SDSU has a ton of name recognition returning, and the WNIT run helps with that. Clearly should be the pre-season favorite. That said, it is not at all clear to me they will be any better than they were last year - just older, and likely will have the same weaknesses. Can they find some athleticism to stay with the strong OOC schedule? Did USD give everyone a blueprint on how to slow them down (held under 50 twice)? How many jokes will be made about Selland having a sponsorship deal with and old-folks-home?
> It is certainly possible that both SD schools end the OOC portion of the schedule without a great looking resume. Since the SL looks to be pretty weak, will it be a 1-bid conference by mid December?
> It sure looks like it will be a 2-team race, but someone will get 3rd. Who? Will it be someone who can get hot and knock off a SD team in the SLT?
> I'm also curious how WVU does.
