Mid-season women’s college basketball check-in: Is LSU’s Angel Reese the Player of the Year?
We’re a little more than halfway through this women’s college basketball season. A bit more than a month of conference play remains, and contenders are beginning to separate themselves from pretenders.
South Carolina still looks like the best team in the country, but the likes of Indiana, Ohio State and LSU have joined Stanford and UConn as teams that might be able to give the Gamecocks a good fight, should they meet in March.
The Big Ten has four teams ranked in the top 10 of the AP Top 25 Poll, while the ACC has six teams in the top 25. Right now, it looks like anyone can win either of those conferences, which should make for interesting battles down the stretch.
Some mid-major powers are emerging, and a few players – like Angel Reese, Maddy Siegrist and Caitlin Clark – are making the case why they should be in the Player of the Year race.
With that, let’s dive into the questions. We might have some answers.
