Balance, n. fr., 1: proportion: harmonious arrangement or relation of parts or elements within a whole 2: equality of distribution (for example, when all five starters on one basketball team are among the 50 preseason nominees for the Naismith Trophy for the national player of the year in women's college basketball, their team could be considered to have achieved balance)

Today, according to ESPN.com, the Atlanta Tipoff Club announced that Marissa Coleman, Shay Doron, Laura Harper, Crystal Langhorne and Kristi Toliver of the Maryland Terrapins are all Naismith player of the year nominees.

The BasketCases congratulate all five players and the entire Terrapin team on this extraordinary achievement!
