Pac-12 Hotline women's basketball Power Ratings: Stanford leapfrogs Utah for the top spot, while Arizona climbs two places to No. 3.
Jeff Metcalfe The San Jose Mercury News It required two hard-fought wins, but Stanford is back atop the Hotline’s women's basketball Power Ratings after a two-week absence.
Comment: The Utes obviously need star forward Alissa Pili against Stanford on Saturday, which could necessitate holding her out Thursday to give her sprained ankle more time to heal. And Cal, which is coming off an upset over USC, cannot be taken for granted. “Hopefully she can play, but it is one of those hope-for-the-best, prepare-for-the-worst deals,” Utah coach Lynne Roberts said .NET ranking: No.
Comment: The win over Oregon, with its lofty NET ranking, was important for the Cougars, who are still projected as a No. 10 NCAA seed by ESPN while the Ducks dropped onto the bubble. WSU is 5-3 since Charlisse Leger-Walker’s second return from New Zealand and, at minimum, is competitive in every game with her in the lineup.NET ranking: No. 28
