I'll assume these refer to women's basketball because many of those schools have very unsuccessful volleyball programs.

1. This is the hoops forum.

2. Tennessee at the top is not surprising given the presence of Pat Summitt, the one of the two best coaches in hoops history, either gender.

Who's the other? And don't say Sherri Murrell…

[SuperHornet]

OK. No Goddess?

I'll posit Bob Thomason.

Speaking of Murrell, the Portland Monthly magazine just came out with a good story on her, front page feature, as the only openly gay coach is D-I basketball. Very good story: http://www.portlandmonthlymag.com/arts- ... ball-1110/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
She's been making quite a splash up here. Remains to be seen how she'll do this year with Faucher gone. We do have a pretty good point guard sophomore coming in - she red-shirted last year. It'll be a challenge.

But if that big Baylor chick had only made her free throws last night, the UConn number would be lower!

I guess I don't understand these rankings. How can UConn be 255-17 in their arena, but not have their city ranked?

Because they played in a different arena prior to 1990.

There ain't no good in an evil-hearted woman.

Because they played in a different arena prior to 1990.

But am I to understand that they sucked before moving into the current arena?

South Dakota State has a 63-5 record at home since they went Division 1 in 2004, that a winning % of .9265.

I don't know if they sucked, but they weren't as good. They were lousy before Auriemma was hired in 1985, then they were pretty good (but not great) in the late '80s.
