- Bracketology and NCAA’s top 16 seeds: What made sense and what surprised us? (Charlie Creme)
- Colorado’s new era: JR Payne is in her first season as coach. The former Saint Mary’s point guard has brought an up-tempo style to the Buffs, who are lead in scoring by sophomore guard Kennedy Leonard. She came to CU to try to help the program get back to the winning ways Colorado was once accustomed to. Pac-12 play has been tough so far for the Buffs, but there is some optimism about where the program is headed. (Mechelle Voepel)
- It is safe to say that Duke will go as far as the tandem of Lexie Brown and Rebecca Greenwell takes it. So what has the first season on the court been like for the one player in Durham that has actually been to a Final Four? (Graham Hays)
