  • Awesome game of Kristine Anigwe who scored 43 pts (on 18/24 FG shooting), her own and California's record, and grabbed 12 rebounds in a win vs Sacramento St 117-99. Golden Bears shot almost 70% of their FG.

    A'ja WIlson had a dominant performance of 28 pts, 11 reb and 3 bs leading South Carolina over Duke, 66-55.

    Tennesse upset by Virginia Tech in home game, 57-43, after yet another disappointing performance. Import players Vanessa Panousis of Australia and Regan Magarity of Sweden led Hokies with 21 and 13 points.

    • Seniors Breanna Stewart and Moriah Jefferson are the stars but junior Morgan Tuck looks as the difference-maker for #1 UConn.
      Here an ESPN read on this special player.

      Maryland continues to roll over opponents (though mostly unranked) and is now 10-0. Juniors Shatori Walker-Kimbrough and Brionna Jones are the Terps current leaders. Both have earned international experience with USA teams last summer, Walker-Kimbrough at Pan Am games and Jones at WUG.

                • Two-time DIII consensus player of the year Sydney Moss of Thomas More College became her team's all-time leading scorer, despite having played just two games in the season, so far. She was in fact benched by mid November for almost one month for an unspecified NCAA compliance issue, missing her first five games. Moss played her freshman year at the University of Florida (DI), but after a brilliant season she tranferred to Thomas More to be closer to home and make basketball fun again.

                        • California beat UCLA 108-104 after 2OT in a non-conference game played in Berkeley. Courtney Range and Kristine Anigwe led Golden Bears with impressive double-doubles, while Jordin Canada topped the Bruins with 28. Freshman Anigwe finished with 11/15 on FG.

                          Swedish guard Nathalie Fontaine dropped 43 points for Ball State in a win over Evansville and broke school's scoring record, shooting 66% FG.

                          Duke's junior Kendall Cooper won't enroll for the 2016 spring semester and will miss the rest of the season. She will be eligible to return in the fall of 2016. This is another loss for Duke after Amber Henson took an indefinite leave of absence late in November. Cooper was a 2013 McDonald's selection and played with USA U18 team at the 2012 Fiba Americas, but didn't live up to expectations in college.

                            • With the season approaching the various conference schedules, UConn always keeps #1 place, after beating strong Maryland by 10. Notre Dame escaped with a narrow win over Oregon St, 62-61.
                              Several teams are still undefeated as per AP Top 25. Among unranked teams, USC and Oregon are surprisingly unbeaten so far (12-0 and 11-0), both will play UCLA in conference games next days.

                              • Of nealy 20 undefeated teams from mid December, just 5 made it through yesterday. They are, Connecticut, Kentucky, Missouri, South Carolina and Texas.
                                Yesterday fell Oregon vs UCLA and fews days ago Maryland and South Cal, that went through consecutive losses. Terps surprisingly lost to Ohio State and USC (without injured Jordan Adams for the third straight game) lost to Oregon State.
