    11.5-point favorite against Iowa?

    Every computer model I've seen (Massey, etc) has us as a 10 or 11 point favorite.

    JUMP ON ME!!! I Think this WBB Team is exciting.

    Putting ourselves in an 11 point hole seems so unnecessary. If Raven and Cardoso start, that means we have two experienced veterans, Fletcher and Saxton, coming off the bench. So we would still have good depth. I guess we'll see how it plays out. I wouldn't be surprised to see Raven starting...

    Saxton returning should end the Angel Reese speculation.

    Dawn has a new birdie

    Not really a Dawn type of player, imo. Owusu is not good defensively. Who would she have guarded on UCONN? But what I do know? I believe she did play for Dawn on the Team USA at the AmeriCup. Although, Dawn doesn't actually pick the roster. Still, they may have made a connection.

    WBB: Women's college basketball Way-Too-Early Top 25 for 2022-23

    We have no shortage of players who can bang on the boards. Blackwell doesn't make a lot of sense, considering our roster.

    Uconn looking real strong these days

    I enjoyed Stanford vs UCONN, but it was anything but beautiful. 19 turnovers and 37% shooting from UCONN. Stanford's offense was a complete mess. They launched 3 pointer after 3 pointer early in the shot clock, failing to attack UCONN's bigs, who were in foul trouble. Stanford was 4 of 23 on...

    Uconn looking real strong these days

    We were not only a #1 seed, but the overall top seed. UCONN was a 2nd seed, so not the same thing. NC State got the shaft.

    Uconn looking real strong these days

    The single biggest question mark of any team in the Final Four is the point guard situation at Stanford. Ana Wilson struggles against any decent point guard. The Cardinal were forced to go with point forwards, Jones and Haley, for most of the 2nd half against Texas. How they defend the UCONN...

    Uconn looking real strong these days

    Stanford shot 37% from the field, 3-17 from the 3 point line and scored 59 points. Meh. But they killed Texas on the boards, 45-28, and played excellent defense. Stanford's rebounding, in particular, is what concerns me.

    Uconn looking real strong these days

    Our guards smoked Stanford last year. And have you forgotten what Destanni did to them earlier this season in limited minutes? Ana Wilson can't stay on the court against a point guard with a pulse. They went with a mostly no guard lineup last night (Hull is more of a small forward IMO) for most...

    2021-2022 WBB Team

    We hit 4 more 3's last year than Stanford and lost. So perimeter shooting didn't cost us a national title. And Destanni is shooting 39% from 3 this season. It's the lack of a mid-range shot that was and still is our biggest issue, IMO. Kiki was absolute money in the midrange 2 years ago. Saxton...

    2021-2022 WBB Team

    I agree because Miami had more post depth to absorb fouls. Not Carolina is very good six deep, but they lack overall depth, especially in the low post. I think we see a good bit of Boston and Cardoso playing together and force the heels to defend them and keep them off the boards. Miami also...

    2021-2022 WBB Team

    UCONN shot less than 30% last night. The Huskies don't play defense or rebound as well as we, so that's a real concern for them. They were fortunate to escape last night (the officials letting them get away with flopping helped). I had them coming out of that region, but I'm leaning State now...

    2021-2022 WBB Team

    I appreciate a grinder like Saxton doing her part to bring us this far, but it's time for Cardoso and/or Amihere to step it up during the tournament. Both have exceptional upside. Today we saw that from Cardoso. 11 points, 8 rebounds, 4 blocks. More please.

    2021-2022 WBB Team

    Amihere should have played more. She went out of the game in the 3rd quarter and we were up 11. She never got back in the game. Dawn went with her veterans -- Lele, Saxton -- and Cardsoso instead. Big mistake. Amihere is out best defender and without her on the court UK lit us up for 21 points...
