Obviously it's absurd but I think the problem is that they vote before the regional final game is over.

They must think they need to hand the trophy out while the TV coverage lasts.  But ESPN switched away pretty quickly IIRC so no coverage for that "team" anyway.

IMHO McPhee was the MVP for Stanford -- when she got her confidence and aggressiveness we actually had an offense that consisted of more than setting screens for Karlie. 

The NBA keeps a +/- stat that shows how the team fared scorewise while a player was in.  It would be really interesting to see that stat for Stanford this year.
