Women’s basketball takes second in poll

Monday, October 19, 2009

The women’s basketball team was recently selected to finish second in the Big 12 in a poll of the league’s head coaches. Kansas tied for second with Texas, each school receiving three first-place votes.

“Being picked second is a reflection of how we finished last season, and the quality of players we have returning to the team,” coach Bonnie Henrickson said. “We have our work cut out for us. I think this year, in particular, there is a lot of depth and talent all over the league, so several teams should be starting the season feeling like they truly have a chance of winning a championship. We feel like we are one of those teams.”

Baylor, last season’s winner of the Phillips 66 Big 12 Championship, finished first after receiving five first-place votes. Rounding out the rest of the field were Texas A&M in fourth, Oklahoma, last year’s preseason favorite and regular season champion, in fifth, Nebraska in sixth, Iowa State in seventh, Kansas State in eighth, Oklahoma State in ninth, Texas Tech in 10th, Colorado in 11th and Missouri in 12th.
