Breaking barriers, and more Pac-12 best

Cool high school story:

India isn’t a hot bed for girls and women’s basketball, but two California star players are breaking cultural barriers through their achievements.

NCAA:

University of Washington Coach Kevin McGuff coaches his team for both the present and the future.

The drive, with UCLA guard Rebekah Gardner.

By the way, I found some stats for the candidates for Pac-12 most improved player nominations:

Rebekah Gardner – 7.9 ppg, 3.3 rpg last year; 15.7 ppg this year

Chiney Ogwumike – 11.7 ppg and 8 rpg last year; 15.6 ppg and 10.6 rpg this year

Thea Lemberger – .6 ppg and .2 rpg last year; 15.6 ppg and 10.6 rpg this year

Gennifer Brandon – 7.2 ppg and 8.5 rpg in 09-10; 9.6 ppg and 10.9 rpg this year

Regina Rogers – 10 ppg and 5.4 rpg last year; 15.8 ppg and 8.1 rpg this year

Amanda Johnson – 15.9 ppg and 8.3 rpg last year; 19.7 ppg and 10.4 rpg this year

So statistically, the winner would have to be Gardner, Lemberger or Rogers. But who is truly carrying their team?
