Hotties of the 2010 NCAA Women’s Tournament

Back by popular demand is our look at the Hotties of the 2010 NCAA Women’s Tournament.

After the NCAA Women’s Tournament Selection Show, I perused all the rosters of the teams invited and picked one player deemed worthy for this post.

Some may not agree with my selections and that’s okay. There are some repeat winners from last season.

Please give credit if any of the pictures are used. Thanks. The pages are broken down by region.

First up is the Dayton Region:
