Since then, Nneka made a huge impact on the Cardinal's success in the Pac-10 Tournament. In the three games, she:

- Made 73% of her free throws
- Grabbed 24 rebounds — just one less than Kayla's 25
- Committed one foul per game, and turned the ball over an average of 2.3 times
In the press conference after the semifinal game, Nneka commented on her progress through the season, "As a freshman, you're just trying to get used to things. Now I feel like I know what's going on. I've got the sets down. I know how we get things done."
