Post players may be key to reaching women's Final Four

NEW YORK (AP) — Reaching the women's Final Four and winning a national championship may come down to play in the post.

Even as basketball has gone away from traditional position players, trending toward more versatile talents, there are plenty of dominant post players left in the NCAA Tournament. Teaira McCowan, Azura Stevens, A'ja Wilson or Kalani Brown could be a big reason why one of their teams cuts down the nets celebrating a national championship in Columbus, Ohio.

All four are finalists for the Lisa Leslie Award and have helped their teams reach the Sweet 16, which begins Friday.
