Granted, Binford did an excellent job at MSU, especially considering their injury situation. but Sherri Murrell at Portland State did an excellent job as well, losing eight (Thompson, Bos, Boscacci, Ritter & Walton among them) players from last years roster and bringing in three freshman that contributed right off the bat; two, a recruiting coup, right out from under Eastern Washington's (and Gonzaga's) nose from Spokane in Kelli Vallentine and Lexi Bishop.
I figured with the coaching change and everything else that PSU would be a contender next year, being in the top four teams in the BSC, maybe. Didn't really expect them to do as well this year, though definitely a BSC tournament participant.
