With more than half of the Pac-10 season in the books, Stanford has still reigned supreme.
As we head into the last month of the regular season, there is still plenty of time left to play for, as some teams are vying for their NCAA Tournament lives and others will attempt to play spoiler.

1. Stanford (21-1, 11-0 Pac-10)
Naturally, nothing has changed here.
The No. 2 Cardinal is outscoring its opponents by over 22 points per game and is a virtual lock to capture its tenth straight Pac-10 title after sweeping UCLA and USC last weekend.
Sophomore forward Nnemkadi Ogwumike is still the frontrunner for the Pac-10 Player of the Year award, leading the conference in scoring (19 points per game) while also grabbing 10.2 rebounds per game.

2. UCLA (15-7, 8-3 Pac-10)
The Bruins certainly know how to play defense.
After giving up just 32 points in its victory over California on Saturday, UCLA moved up to first in the Pac-10 in scoring defense (56.1 points per game).
Sophomore forward Jasmine Dixon (14.3 points, 7.5 rebounds per game) continues to shine in her first year in Westwood.

3. USC (13-9, 7-4 Pac-10)
The Women of Troy have lost their last three contests since starting the Pac-10 season 7-1.
USC continues to be the conference’s best outside shooting team, leading the Pac-10 in 3-point field-goal percentage (.370).
Sophomore guard Ashley Corral leads the Pac-10 in assists (4.77 per game) while also ranking seventh in scoring (16.1 points per game).

4. ASU (14-8, 6-5 Pac-10)
Even on the heels of the program’s worst loss since 2004 — a 66-62 home loss to Washington State — the Sun Devils still rank in the top half of the conference.
But ASU will likely have to win out or make some serious noise in the Pac-10 Tournament in order to earn its fifth straight NCAA Tournament berth.
The Sun Devils have struggled mightily from the outside. ASU ranks 323rd in the nation in 3-pointers made per game (2.7).

5. California (12-10, 6-5 Pac-10)
After a solid win over USC last Thursday, the Golden Bears laid an egg offensively when they shot just 8.7 percent in the first half of their 44-32 loss to UCLA.
Senior guard Alexis Gray-Lawson ranks second in the Pac-10 in scoring, but she’s been held under 15 points her past three games.

6. UA (11-10, 5-6 Pac-10)
The Wildcats are a much-improved team from last year and got back on track last week when they swept the Washington schools, including an 80-50 drubbing of UW last Saturday.
Guard Davellyn Whyte is also a Pac-10 Freshman of the Year candidate, averaging 17.5 points per game during her rookie campaign, while junior forward Ify Ibekwe (14.6 points, 11.8 rebounds per game) continues to be one of the conference’s best players.

7. Oregon (14-8, 5-5 Pac-10)
The nation’s highest-scoring offense (85.2 points per game) snapped a five-game skid when it upset USC 85-77 on Jan. 30 and then swept the Civil War series when they dominated Oregon State 82-62 last weekend.
Senior guard Taylor Lilley ranks third in the nation in 3-pointers per game (3.64). She is also the conference’s fourth-leading scorer (17.5 points per game).
However, UO also ranks last in the Pac-10 in scoring defense (75.8 points per game).

8. Washington (9-12, 4-7 Pac-10)
Since winning three of their first four Pac-10 games, the Huskies have dropped six of their last seven contests to tumble down the conference standings.
UW has had trouble putting the ball in the basket, ranking ninth in the Pac-10 in scoring offense (61.7 points per game) while also being outrebounded by nearly three boards per game.
Senior guard Sami Whitcomb has been the biggest offensive threat for the Huskies, averaging 14.6 points per game.

9. Washington State (6-16, 1-10 Pac-10)
The Cougars got a gigantic monkey off their backs last Saturday when they halted their 11-game losing streak and won their first game in Tempe since 1997.
Sophomore guard April Cook was honored with the Pac-10 Player of the Week award largely because of her 33-point performance against the Sun Devils.
WSU ranks last in the Pac-10 in field-goal percentage (.347) and field-goal percentage defense (.442).

10. Oregon State (9-12, 1-9 Pac-10)
The Beavers have been in a free fall, as they have not won since New Year’s Day.
Junior guard Talisa Rhea averages 17.4 points per game, but the Beavers are 259th in the country and last in the conference in scoring offense (58.8 points per game).
The Beavers host ASU on Thursday.
