Yes, more Natalie Butler gushing on my part. I'm such of big fan of this young lady and she is healthy this year and getting a ton of minutes. Butler is just dominating for George Mason.

In their last game, George Mason lost to Houston but Natalie was dominating. She had a career high 35 points and added 20 rebounds. She played 38 minutes, showing off the endurance she got from UConn practices. Butler was amazingly efficient, going 13-16 from the field. Sadly she was only 9-16 from the foul line.

For the season she is averaging 19.2 PPG and 14.2 RPG. Her rebounding leads the country.

Yes, the competition is not what she experienced at UConn, but it's still Division I basketball.

Keep it going Natalie!!!

Stanford dropped out of the top 25 for the first time since 2001 after their loss at home against No. 7 Tennessee. This has been a really tough season for the Cardinal and it won't be an easy time in the very tough PAC12 conference. I don't expect them to be back in the top 25 any time this season and I believe it might be a season they don't even make the NCAA tournament.
