I think Dawn likes to support the smaller SC schools, esp. the HBCUs: hence the games against Winthrop and Queens this week.

Totally disagree. I do think she is pressing more, possibly due to decreased minutes, but I think she is quite obviously better than last year.

If it were not for Stong and Fudd, UConn would have been in a world of hurt.

They're probably tax deductible.

Much of Creighton's talent is very young: they have 4 very talented freshmen (3 in the ESPN 100), but freshman are just going to take some time to get acclimated to the pace and physicality at the college level. I believe Creighton will be much better by season's end, but those early losses...

While that's certainly true, once you get past the top 7-8, the bottom of the SEC is truly miserable. I can see the bottom 2 in the league winning only one or 2 conference games.

Yeah, but it's a rare night when Brooks and Jones combine for 5 of 22 shots: they should have taken more advantage of that. High Point is a good team, if they had played well they might have won.

I disagree, but will admit they may be lower in the SEC standings simply because OK, TN, MS St, and Vandy project to be better than they were last year.

Can Trygger play the 4? Wes could go big with Awou, Trygger and Pierre in the frontcourt and have a two guard offense. The biggest difficulty I see with that is they like to play fast on offense and both Awou and Trygger are pretty slow. Wes has been known to give freshman prominent roles and...

I don't understand how you can say this in the face of four national championships. I don't agree with many of her social stances, but she is a good coach.

6 out of the top ten from the SEC, I don't think so.

I'm recovering from some years of a medical ordeal (found out in my early 70's that I have a hereditary disorder called ATTR that resulted in a heart transplant followed by 3 bouts with prostate cancer). Gained a lot of weight, up to 210 lbs for a 5'9" guy. Now at 79 have now lost about 20 lbs...

I agree they'll be better: what worked against their system in the past year was their abysmal 3pt shooting. If they can combine the pressure and turnovers with a decent (35+%) 3pt percentage, they'll be dangerous to any team.

Napheesa is one of those players who just continued to imporove as the years went bye: as a freshman she did not have the stats or the reputation of Katie Lou but she continued to improve her game and by her senior year was a better player than Katie Lou. She has just continued that trend in...
