My initial thoughts ... BC too high. They were an ok team until Kenzie Kent joined midseason. She is not playing this year. BC is no better than 10 without her. SB is not the #2 team in the country, particularly w the 3-second rule back to a major foul. Will be hard to know with their cream puff schedule, but they r more like top 8. Navy caught lightening in a bottle last year. Great for them. Not a top ten team.
You are dead wrong about stony brook my daughter’s team played them in the fall they are awesome and are definitely deserving of #2 and may win it all. Penn State who was in the same tournament is frankly overranked at 6.
