2010-2011 Big 12 Women's Basketball Preseason Poll Saturday, December 25, 2010

Leading this year's Big 12 preseason poll for women's basketball is the Baylor Lady Bears. The team returns 4 starters from last year's Final Four squad -- and over 80% of its scoring and rebounding. The Bears are led by sophomore phenom forward Brittney Griner and guard Melissa Jones. New to the squad --- preseason All-Big 12 newcomer of the year Brooklyn Pope and All-Big 12 Freshman of the year Odyssey Sims. Second in this year's preseason poll is Texas A&M. The Aggies return three starters from last season's squad that finished the season with a 26-8 overall record and its fifth straight NCAA Tournament appearance. With preseason All-American Danielle Adams back for her senior season, A&M is expected to be strong. Third in this year's preseason poll is Oklahoma. The Sooners finished 2009 ranked 3rd nationally after making the Final Four for the 2nd year in a row. OU returns senior guard Danielle Robinson, who led the Sooners last year with more than 15 points per game. Nominated for numerous All-America honors last season, Robinson should anchor an OU team hungry for continued success. Let's take a look at the rest of the Big 12 preseason poll... Coming in at #4 is Texas. Just 3 votes away at #5 is Iowa State. #6 is Kansas, followed by last season's Big 12 regular-season champion Nebraska at #7. 8th is Oklahoma State, Kansas State 9th, Texas Tech 10th, Missouri 11th for new coach Robin Pingeton's first season, and Colorado at #12.
