I've been inspired to post
this page by
my own struggles to find
out
what's happening in women's
Division I
basketball before I get to the
NCAA tournament. ESPN's
Mechelle Voepel was
the first person willing
to help me out.
As Mechelle indicated in her
note to me,
"There isn't a lot of
national overview
coverage,
but some of the regional writers
do a good
job."
