    WBB in Arizona

    She may indeed be. Barnes refused to learn and change, although it is way too early to judge her at SMU for the same reason you can't really judge Burke - they are leading put together teams of players that haven't largely played with each other before. The real test for Burke is when she gets...

    WBB in Arizona

    While it is early, the take on the Arizona Wildcats is that they look like a high level mid-major. The talent level and style of play just isn't there. Now, you can't really blame that on the new coach - and the team did play motivated in the first game I've seen, everyone does agree they are...

    UConn national rankings

    Actually in one of the discussions during a halftime (don't remember game or channel) they mentioned how close to undefeated UConn football was with (as noted) the losses all in OT. In an article, the comment was that, unfortunately, they wouldn't qualify for the playoff even if they were...

    OT: WVAU wins 57 to 49 with 5 eligible players

    I do have a comment - you have to ignore it. This isn't the WWE. Ignore it and the Duke player gets a "T", WV gets a couple shots, and presumably there is no bench emptying. Historically, especially pre-replay and you still see it in other sports, the response gets noticed and the player gets...

    Week 2 (11/10-11/16)

    It doesn't matter who the ref was. TV got an excellent view of the WV bench emptying onto the court. The scuffle was on both the players. The Duke player taunted, the WV player took exception, the Duke player was slightly physical, the WV player popped her and, well, no one else from Duke was...

    Week 2 (11/10-11/16)

    I suspect a lot of it is budget related but New England is by no means the hot-bed of the practice. Southeast and west struck me as notable, I glance at all the scores every night as I track wins and losses on a spreadsheet for P4, BE and Arizona opponents. So many schools relatively obscure.

    Week 2 (11/10-11/16)

    There is a lot of it this year. Not so much with Power 4 teams, but a lot of others. I have no idea of the reason, but the number of those games has grown year by year over the last few years. At one time, they didn't count in the stats used by the committee at NCAAs time, but of course most...

    WBB in Arizona

    Will be there on the 21st. Missing the first 2 games, skipping the camp game (it isn't included in season tix although they are giving out free general admission tickets - previously, while you did not have your regular seats, they did reserve a section for season ticket holders) and also...

    WBB in Arizona

    I'm as nervous as anyone else, though I'm still on vacay in Hawai'i and won't be watching. I don't think Burke will be another Adair; but that's a neutral prediction. I don't think they will be very good this year, but I'll give her more than a year. She could be a success - or not. Only...

    Week 1!!! 11/3-11/9

    He beat Rutgers in the NCAAs when he was at Chattanooga. Always knew he was good, and 859 wins entering season. Losses under 300.

    The AP list of the 25 greatest women's college basketball players of the last 50 yrs

    Maybe it seems to lean heavily on pro, but if you read the text voters were told to consider only college. The problem was stated by Lobo - that there were more great players than slots. That's what makes it difficult. The text of the article also indicates that criteria - other than college...

    BIG 12 25-26

    It is probably not practical for a first year coach in rebuild to "pull a rabbit out of a hat" - but some success is likely. Beyond the cupcake non-conference, I'm less hopeful for Arizona (this year). Depending on how good the new coach is, it appears there has been some promising recruiting...

    OT: YouTube tv

    We have YTTV because of the NFL, we haven't used it much otherwise although we are considering going to it full time. Often, we watch shows not on our DirecTV for some reason (missed recording, etc.) on the specific appropriate apps that we subscribe to. The problem with DirecTV is it is awful...

    OT: 2028 Olympic team coach: Sue picks who?

    I agree that BG and Jewell Loyd are not expected, but I think that if Gray, Copper or Thomas are going great at the time they would be possible. Thomas perhaps the most likely. But I also agree they are possibilities not to be included, Plum as well.

    OT: 2028 Olympic team coach: Sue picks who?

    With the exceptions of Geno and I think Coach K on the men's side, it is a one Olympics gig. Always has been. I actually wouldn't mind more consistency, but they haven't chosen that route.
