Four thoughts gleaned from the first full weekend of conference play:
4. Amy Kame keeps San Diego unbeaten: Had espnW's mid-major rankings come out this past week, Saint Mary's would have been No. 1 after an overtime thriller against Gonzaga. A week later, the Gaels are 1-2 in the WCC after losses at San Diego and BYU. Now it's the former who at least temporarily claims bragging rights (the next rankings come out Jan. 15) after San Diego improved to 15-0 with that win and Saturday's victory against Pacific (even if careless ball control frittered away a 20-point lead against Pacific and eventually sent the game to overtime).
The Toreros are one of five remaining unbeaten teams, and Amy Kame is a name to know. The senior guard had 23 points, eight rebounds and seven assists against Saint Mary's, and 28 points, 11 rebounds and four steals against Pacific. She's high-risk, high-reward, and the former might cost San Diego at some point, but the latter is fun from a player who wants the ball when the team needs a big shot.
