ESPN released their list of Top 25 players in WBB this morning and 2 Longhorns made the Top 10. Southern Cal (#1 and 4) and LSU (#7 and 8) also have 2 players in the Top 10. Notre Dame has 3 of the Top 15 (#3, 13 and 14).
Stats: 16.5 PPG, 5.0 RPG, 5.0 APG
Booker assumed a larger role after guard Rori Harmon was lost for the season to a knee injury last December. Booker was co-Big 12 player of the year, the first time a freshman won the honor. Then she excelled in her first postseason, leading Texas to the Big 12 tournament title and the Elite Eight. Now she gets ready to take on the SEC.
Stats: 14.1 PPG, 7.8 APG, 3.1 SPG (12 games)
Arguably the best two-way guard in the country, Harmon was in the early player of the year conversation last fall prior to a December ACL tear. In a breakout performance before her injury, she recorded 27 points and 13 assists in Texas' win over UConn, plus held Bueckers to 13 points, prompting coach Geno Auriemma to call Harmon "the best player we've played against this year, by far." Harmon was fully cleared to return to the court earlier this month, and the Longhorns are itching to get her back on the floor -- and playing alongside a budding Madison Booker -- as they seek their first Final Four berth under coach Vic Schaefer.
