Just a catch-all thread for interesting games because it seems there isn't one. ??

Duke (#9) losing to USF at half 15-33.
6-23 shooting (0-5 3pt).
Wonder if this holds. USF 6-6 record with losses to UConn, SC, TCU

It’s hard to stay consistent
 
Gotta say, that "double intentional foul" call giving USF 4 free throws and possession is one of the most extreme penalties I've seen called in a game. Like a double technical. That killed the Duke momentum swing.
*USF not as bad as their record might indicate.

Later today:
#21 Nebraska vs. #17 Georgia Tech
#7 USC vs. #4 UConn
#14 WV (10-1) vs Colorado (9-2)

No and maybe getting better. S Carolina only beat them by 11ish. I’ve taken a little bit more measured approach to that UNI game now. I mean, we did win.

So we’ve got things to work on, most do

*The only loss thus far for Kansas (10-1) was to Iowa.
They are down 13 points to Baylor (10-2) at half.

*Next five games for #23 Nebraska (including GT right now):
#17 Georgia Tech
#1 UCLA
#7 USC
PSU
#15 MSU

*ISU down 10 to OkSU at half. Freeee Falllin...
 
Looking forward to USC v. UConn tonight. Hopefully USC can keep up, but I definitely have my doubts. The game could go a long way toward determining NPOY this season.

STATE is no longer adequate, which is a good thing.
 
Bueckers isn’t even the best player on her team. As remarkable as that UCONN machine was, it’s just as remarkable they haven’t won it all in 10 plus years. They have 5 star talent stacked on top of each other.

Hell they must have @least 20 women in the WNBA right now!
 
That was entertaining. Good teams with so many weapons. Pretty impressive for USC to fly cross country and take the W against that crowd. Looks like a tough tough matchup for Iowa 2/2/25.
Wonder how many points in the paint USC had. Looked like they had little to no probs in there.

And their best player is a freshman…Geno can obviously still recruit, but now that other teams have caught up, he’s not quite the coaching genius he used to be.
 
Whoa-- didn't notice until just now that Colorado beat #15 West Virginia. I watched a few minutes and near the end of the 3rd--> CU was down -14 and pretty much done. I guess not!
Both teams now 10-2.
 
That was a hell of a game. UConn really made an impressive comeback. JuJu looked dominant early, and Paige looked pretty meh. JuJu dropped at least one three in Paige's face, and block at least one Paige 3 pt shot. It almost looked personal. Paige played better later, but she is nowhere near as good as the hype train wants her to be.

Lots of injuries.
 
Hey at least George Karl said in an interview that not only will Juju be better then CC22, but he thinks she could end up playing in the NBA. YES he said NBA. I guess were smoking crack in the old folks home now eh George?

Yeah strange take…with that said PB is a terrific ball player, but she will not take over the league like CC did. I’d say juju might have a shot to come in and average close to 20 points just because of her height and length, and she is more explosive similar to CC, but neither of those girls have the floor vision passing ability or deep range like Caitlin and they never really will.

Juju will be at 2/3 in the NBA and I’m not positive PB might not slide to the 2

But you think Crooks is better than CC & Juju combined, right??

Set aside the fact fact that Crooks may not be aesthetically pleasing, she's a hell of a college player. The numbers after a year and 1/2 prove that out. Now I would think she'd struggle with her game in the pro's as she is a strictly low block player and will play against much better AND bigger athletes down low in the league. We'll see, as she will certainly get a shot as a reserve anyway.

Juju can play anywhere from the 1-3 in the pros. Shes a beast. My opinion she’ll be a much better pro than Bueckers. I’m not sure how explosive Paige ever was but the injuries have really taken a lot away from her.

Agreed, though I get the feeling there are people that think she’s a ball distributor in a similar vein to CC and she is not. But as I’ve said, I do think it’s potentially possible, she comes in and scores just as much or more.

What you get with Paige is a consistent high floor player who will give you great effort, but isn’t particularly dynamic

JuJu is a beast and much better than PB, but I don't think she would be great playing the 1 in the wnba--at least not based on current skill set.

No, but his point is valid, sho could/can handle the ball in stretches. But she is not a PG

As of right now, she isn’t a Pro player. Too limited. From what I have gathered watching 60 plus games last year & wondering why Megan couldn’t stick originally or Monica even get a shot. They prioritize defense, mobility and being 6-5 plus. If you’re not a dynamic scorer with plus athleticism.

She’s not a great rebounder, or defender of course. She isn’t a knockdown shooter from any distance and she doesn’t run the court well. She’s a terrific College player & she can likely play somewhere overseas, but she’ll have to become a better RBer & outside shooter to play in the WNBA

When did I say that his point wasn't valid that she is a beast? At any given time, there are usually 2-4 people on the court that can handle the ball for stretches. That is true on the Fever as well. As you acknowledge, she is not a PG, which was my point. I think JJW can play any of the 1-4 positions for stretches, but she is most likely a 2-3, and I very much doubt that JJW will be a team's 1 in the wnba.

I didn’t suggest you didn’t 🤷‍♂️
 
I know you are begging for my attention, but you just don’t say anything entertaining enough to be of consequence my friend 🤷‍♂️
Remember when I said MooU fans like larger beasts like your old lady, & your epic response was……”Right” 🤣

I do find it funny though that you went from talking about how great Audi was…..to now saying how limited her game is.

That’s something most of knew already.

That only happened in your head, my friend… I don’t care what you think of me and I haven’t said anything on here plenty of “Smart fans“ haven’t also said. You’re delusional and you struggle with reality 🤷‍♂️

She’s always been limited, no one, including me, said she was a good defender, she’s an average rebounder, and she can’t shoot from distance. Doesn’t mean multiple publications haven’t rated her as one of the 15 best players in college basketball.

You’re making yourself look foolish… although I anticipate that’s not hard for you😂
