Some mid season comments for women's college basketball in 2009-10.
Big West- Only two teams with a winning record, Cal Poly and UC Davis. Five teams that will lose 20 games or come damn close to it. Northridge, Pacific, and Irvine are locks for 20 losses. This would continue the Big West's streak of, at least two teams with 20 or more losses. The streak is currently at eight seasons. In 8 out of the last 9 seasons, the BW has had THREE teams with 20 or more losses. I'm betting it will be 9 out of 10 seasons, after this year.
Cal State Fullerton- Marcia Foster has Fullerton playing with more discipline and accountability. Team isn't that talented but has some good players. They just need more talent.
Long Beach St.- New coach, Jody Wynn, who is getting the most out of the limited talent. Have already match win total from last year, with basically the same team. Wynn will have to show she can recruit more talent. I know she can and she will.
Cal State Northridge- This better be Staci Schultz's last year at CSN. They are terrible, 1-6 in the Big West, 3-14 overall.
UCI-Maly-Karros is a dominant player in the BW. Jada Smith-Williams is another good player. But UCI struggled through non conference and is under .500 in the BW.
UCR-struggled like crazy in non conference. But has turned things around in conference. Not tough since the BW sucks.
LMU- Julie Wilhoit needs to be fired. She reached her ceiling five years ago. A Wilhoit team will win between 15-17 games, lose some games they should have won, and play a weak schedule. She has been running on fumes. Time for a change at LMU.
