No. 1 Lubbock Christian
File under, "well, duh." Here's what head coach Steve Gomez has accomplished in the past four years: two national championships, three trips to the Elite Eight, one undefeated season. But why are we only looking at the past four seasons?
Because that's how long Lubbock Christian has been an official DII program.
Gomez has built an absolute powerhouse. They are a perennial threat to the title, capable of winning 30 games and sometimes make it feel like they didn't even break a sweat. He returns three starters from last year's championship. The two starters the Lady Chapperals lost have younger sisters on the roster, so those championship bloodlines are running strong. One of them, senior forward Maddi Chitsey, is a player-of-the-year candidate and has Lubbock Christian looking strong before the ball is tipped.
No. 7 West Texas A&MNo. 17 Angelo State: in arguably the toughest conference of DII women's basketball.
This is going to be fun. Best of luck to all. --- GWB
