Oh, so the men didn’t reap a benefit on their final four run with first two games in Gvl?
Funny…I don’t have to ask about your education, because you haven’t proven that you’ve ever acquired one. You obviously don’t understand Geography. A Conference Tournament is a little different than the NCAA Tournament. Btw…Carolina didn’t play 4 games in this State, to get to the Final Four. UCONN did though!
I was a ‘decent’ basketball player in high school. When women bb started not long after high school I could have made the team and been one of, if not the best, players. Today, I wouldn’t even make the team. The level of play from then to now is not even comparable
She's truly amazing and fun to watch. Fearless competitor who wants the ball when the game is on the line. Church ball comments on here...phsaw.
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 3's. Yikes.
Heck, I hardly know any guy who is 6-5 like Boston. And I’m pretty sure she would pound a 42yo former HS athlete. Sheesh.
Championship game in Beuckers’ home state. Place will be packed with Minnesota fans all pulling for UCONN because of Beuckers. UCONN will get the calls. Gamecocks don’t have a prayer in the championship game.
I know you're a huge supporter so I guess you know UConn also doesn't come out with the anthem as well.
Go UConn! Beat racist and anti American Staley!!!
You might want to leave us and go join UCONN Boneyard but they'll probably laugh their @sses off about your faux patriotism.
And we will next year in Greenville - for-Boston’s senior year. Since that won’t be fair, should we tell the NCAA to move it somewhere else?
Are you certain about this Gamekem? Geno is on record stating the opposite. Maybe they've changed their position since that point.
This post is a joke. Carolina’s men’s team could beat the #1 women’s team however bad they wanted to. I don’t think the women could even score a point unless it was on a free throw after a foul. You would have to incentivize the men to not go easy on them though. Offer to pay $100 for each point in the margin of victory to each player. You probably end up with a 200-5 score. It wouldn’t be competitive and everyone knows it.
He is talking about the volunteer practice team of 10 guys that Coach Staley picks from the student body , not the actual men's basketball team. For so-called Gamecock fans, we sure do have a whole lot of people that don't know what's going on. The practice team are guys that usually played high school ball, but don't have the size to continue to the college level. I was a 6'0" 2-Guard in high school. Not too many college programs are checking for those. I know good and well that I would be in for a long day in the post with Aaliyah Boston even in my best days let alone now. So, for those thinking that you could just go out there and compete with our ladies. Please stop. You can't. Most of them are bigger than you and spend their time training as a team. They would embarrass you.
I would wager any amount of $ that the HS state champ boys teams in SC would mop the floor with the #1 women’s college team, Boston included. I’m not talking about some out of shape intramural mens team.
They may not mop the floor with them because high school ball is now a game of athleticism and individualism over skill and team play. But I believe a boys’ high school title team would win.
I also attended a school where the HS girls team was a perennial state title contender. I was on the JV boys team at the time and our practice time followed theirs. Often we would scrimmage their team with whoever showed up for practice early that day. It wasn’t pretty. Total blocked shot fest. We could easily beat them with a mix of starters and backups.
No offense, JT. I'm sure you were a good ball player in your day, and your boys team was surely good too, but hope you're not saying that you would have been able to take the WBB team from SC, you know, the one that is taking the national championship tonight. For one thing, this team has very good size compared to most HS boys basketball teams. Ahem. 6'7 Cardoso, 6'5" Boston. We have a few little guards, but also a few over 6'0".
Don't know if anyone of you lurk on the Boneyard, but they've been jawing about Boston and the refs all season.
No offense taken. The original post I responded to was talking about how the women’s team ‘destroyed’ a men’s team. I’m not suggesting that any JV boys team could beat them, but a men’s team or HS boys team of any caliber would likely blow them out. The original poster’s suggestion that this team could beat skilled men is preposterous. And as far as all the dunking he referenced, I don’t recall seeing a dunk in a game by this team all season.
Regarding height, our center was 6’5, forwards were 6’4 and 6’3, guards were 6’1 and 5’11. So yeah there wouldn’t have been a size advantage. My personal experience in scrimmaging against older females was that they have very little vertical jump compared to men. That’s why most scrimmages there would be a ton of blocked shots. There would also be a lot of steals due to the difference in quickness and general athletic coordination.
You are talking about a good high school girls team against a boys team. Our girls are not just a good high school girls team. You are talking the best of the best from across the country. Of course, our girls would lose to Ridge View. They have GG and a couple other kids 6’5” or better. However, the average boys team around here with a 6’4” Center, and 6’1” Fowards would be in for a long day. There are levels to basketball even with the men. You can’t compare a 5A State Championship High School Boys Team to every Boys Team.
Amen brother, I agree with you….She is a joke and has no right to inflict her politics into her job. No one else could do this at their place of business.
I completely agree, every year they play in Connecticut or New York. NCAA and it's biases, even Rebecca Lobo had a difficult time trying to explain why they get to stay close to home every year
All of you should just slink off to the Clemson board already.
Thank goodness that our men’s program hasn’t had a Basketball Coach like a John Thompson, John Chaney, or Nolan Richardson yet. You don’t think those Coaches would not be participating in the anthem protests if they were around or coaching today? Not only would they have participated, but probably told the people that didn’t like it to go “Bleep” themselves.
