Brittney Davis, considered a likely starter at point guard next season, and Lauren Lacey, frustrated by playing time, exit team.

Others are not happy. A promising season turned into a shambles at the end, amid numerous lineup changes and six losses in the last eight games.

I didn't realize there was so much turmoil. I got most of the Minnesota-Washington game in the opening round and I was wondering what Pam Borton's strategy was at the end of the game.

How is this turmoil? Davis is a kid who's had academic trouble at Minn. Maybe she's immature? Plus she is from Oregon and long way from Minn. Maybe she's homesick?

Nobody is happy when a team loses 6 of 8 games. But real winners stick through the tough times and deal with it. They don't go crying home.

Maybe turmoil is a little strong, but I always get suspicious when the parents are being asked if their child is going to return to play another season.
