Questions on the Pac-10 (that won't be answered until teams play)
Will UCLA be even stronger around tournament time with Jasmine Dixon around for a full year and Markel Walker with a season under her belt?
How good can Cal be with their talented group of sophomores and a talented group of freshmen?
How good can USC be with Gemelos playing a full season with Corral and Gilbreath?
Even if the conference is not held in particularly high regard now, if things break these teams’ way it could be a much more competitive conference this year.
