Voepel recaps what has been a crazy season so far. She also has a message for Pac-10 coaches who complain about respect: "Look, I like the Pac-10. It's very important for the continued growth of women's hoops for it to do well. But … just keep winning games, guys. That does get respect."
On that note, Phil wrote in earlier today:

While the RPI rankings have flaws, and are still too unstable for individual teams, the conference RPI rankings are now credible. The Pac-10 was in seventh place last year, behind the usual power conferences, and behind Conference USA as well. This year they are in second place, behind only the Big 10.
