Graham Hays:
Not that Stanford's senior star needs them, but Ogwumike gets bonus points for arguably the performance of the season in putting up 42 points and 17 rebounds in a victory against Tennessee in December. That outburst aside, and she has shown she's more than capable of doing the same thing at the Final Four, Ogwumike's steadiness is one of her most admirable basketball traits. She's always going to get her points, she's always going to get her rebounds and she's never going to make much of a fuss about doing either.
Mechelle Voepel:
Coach Tara VanDerveer predicted that as good as Ogwumike was last season, this season she would be markedly better. That has proved true as Stanford has pummeled its way through the league behind Ogwumike's fabulous senior season, which saw her natural leadership skills blossom fully. She has increased her scoring (21.6) and rebounding (10.5) averages, plus is shooting a career-best 82.8 percent from the foul line. About the only one who can hang with her on the boards is younger sister Chiney, a Stanford sophomore.
