MOWINS' TOP FIVE
Connecticut's Sue Bird drains the 3-pointer: 56.6 | ISDN | T1	Sue Bird, Connecticut Sue's what every point aspires to be -- a leader and a winner. She's the most valuable player on the national championship team because she does whatever is necessary to win. G MIN FG REB AST PTS 37 28.4 50.2 2.5 4.3 10.9
Oklahoma's Stacey Dales gets the steal and the layup: 56.6 | ISDN | T1	Stacey Dales, Oklahoma Stacey played a key role in the Sooners' run to the Sweet 16. She'll be even better after a stint with the Canadian national team last summer. She's consistent, smart and a proven leader. G MIN FG REB AST PTS 33 32.1 41.2 5.1 5.8 12.7
Niele Ivey leads the break and finshes with a layup.: 56.6 | ISDN | T1	Niele Ivey, Notre Dame Niele is underrated but certainly not underappreciated by the Irish.

Florida's Brandi McCain suffered a torn ACL last season.	Brandi McCain, Florida Brandi is as good as anybody when she's 100 percent.

Georgia's Kelly Miller gets the basket and foul: 56.6 | ISDN | T1	Kelly Miller, Georgia Kelly has all the skills to be among the nation's elite. She can shoot, penetrate, handle pressure and run the floor. She's also a much better passer than she gets credit for. G MIN FG REB AST PTS 36 32 44.5 4.7 4.5 15.1
