Woo-hoo! Someone started another conference thread! 
Thought I'd add that there is a Pac 10/Big 12 game coming up this week. UCLA plays at Kansas in a rematch of the game the Bruins won by 3 last season in Los Angeles. They'll tip at 5 p.m. PST on Thursday, December 3rd. FoxSports will carry the game nationally.

Jackie Gemelos makes her debut tonight!!! This lady has been through so much with knee injuries and such. I'm glad she will play again...good for her!!!!
For those who don't know who Gemelos is, she's at USC. The first paragraph from the article on the Trojan's loss at Cal (usctrojans.com) sheds some light on her situation...
"The USC women's basketball team took a tough road loss at California on Thursday night, falling behind in the second half and coming up well short on the boards in a 61-55 loss to the Bears. The bright spot in the game for the Women of Troy, however, was the appearance of Jacki Gemelos on the floor. Gemelos had been sidelined by knee injuries since arriving at USC as the nation's top recruit as a freshman in 2006, making tonight's game action the first of her collegiate career. In 28 minutes on the floor, Gemelos led all players with five assists on the night. USC now goes to 13-8 overall and is 7-3 in Pac-10 play, while Cal improves to 12-9, 6-4."

PAC-10 ALL-FRESHMAN
(listed in alphabetical order)
MOORE has made a big impact on a young Washington State squad, averaging 12.1 points per game, the second-highest average on the team, and ranking in the top-20 in the league. She is the Pac-10's steals leader, also ranking eighth in the nation with 3.3 thefts per game. A starter in each of WSU's 29 games, she has 21 double-digit efforts and swiped a Cougar freshman-class record eight steals twice.
PALMER is the first Beaver to earn a spot on the All-Freshman team since teammate Talisa Rhea in 2008. Palmer is second on the team in scoring, contributing 10.7 points per game and has started every game for the Beavers. She turned in her best outing at Oregon where she scored 25 points and grabbed 11 boards, both season highs.
STALLWORTH has had an outstanding freshman campaign, ranking second on the team and second in the Conference with 12.4 points per game. She is first amongst all freshman in shooting efficiency, coming in sixth among all players with a 49.1 field goal percentage and third with 32 blocked shots.
WALKER has been one of two main reasons the Bruins have claimed the second seed in the Pac-10 Tournament and won 15 league games to tie a school record. Walker has been a big presence in the post, averaging 10.8 ppg and grabbing 7.6 rpg. She was selected the Pac-10 Player of the Week on Feb. 1 and ranks in the top 10 in the Pac-10 in five statistical categories, including eighth in rebounding.
WHYTE is the highest-scoring freshman in the Conference, averaging 17.2 ppg, turning in two 30-point performances this year, including a school-record 39-point outing on Jan. 17 against Oregon. Her 465 points is the second most in a season by a Wildcat freshman all-time.
PAC-10 ALL-DEFENSIVE TEAM
(listed in alphabetical order)
GILBREATH presence on the defensive end comes in the form of 44 blocks this season, collecting 72 for her career. On Dec. 12 against Long Beach State, Gilbreath tallied a career-high six blocks and has helped USC hold teams to an average of 63.9 points per game.
GOLD-ONWUDE's intensity on the defensive end is one of the reasons why Stanford leads the Pac-10 with the lowest figures in scoring defense, limiting opponents just 54.3 ppg, while holding teams to 33.9 percent from the floor and 26.1 percent from behind the three-point arc. Gold-Onwude has also added 20 steals on the year in part because of her pesky defensive style.
GRAY-LAWSON is pesky on the defensive end, helping California hold opponents to a 39.6 percent shooting, good for fifth in the Conference, while also grabbing 5.5 rebounds per game to rank 20th. She has 32 steals on the year, second-best for the Bears.
IBEKWE is an All-Defensive team honoree for the second-straight year and the only Wildcat to earn the distinction in the three years of the honor. The only player in the Pac-10 to average a double-double and leading the Conference with 11.3 rpg, Ibekwe's presence on the court and in the paint has been a big reason the Wildcats rank third in the Pac-10 in field goal percentage defense, allowing opponents to shoot just 37.8 percent.
PIERRE is the Golden Bears' steals leader with 58, seventh-best total in the Conference. Pierre's staunch defense outside the arc has helped Cal hold opponents to the second-lowest three-point field goal percentage in the Pac-10 at 28 percent.
The Pac-10 Player of the Year, Pac-10 Freshman of the Year, Pac-10 Defensive Player of the Year and Pac-10 Coach of the Year as voted on by the head coaches will be announced on Thursday, March 11.
