First game Azzi will not be able to go given timing of her surgery. I don't have a clue what the starting lineup will be in February, but my November lineup is PB, KK, Ice, Ashlyn, Jana.

This isn't a list, but I thought I'd mention one of my favorite players, Ellie Mitchell of Princeton. Just love how she plays. Not a good scorer once you get more than 10 feet from the basket, but wonderful everywhere else (especially defensively and rebounding). Not saying she is the best...

Really liked your Big 12 pick: Texas may beat OK, but why does OK get so little respect after winning the conference (and beating TX twice)?

Disagree; Czinano scored well, but was a mediocre defender and a below average rebounder. She also did not scare anyone from attacking the goal. I think the frontcourt of Iowa will score just as well, rebound and defend better, and has more depth this year. By the end of the regular season...

I'm one of the (very small) minority who thinks Iowa will be better in the frontcourt this year: Cinzano scored well, but was a mediocre rebounder and did not guard the post well. I actually think that once they settle in O'Grady and Stuelke will be an upgrade. I'm not saying they'll win it...

Look for the biggest change to be on the defensive side: I expect MN to be dramatically improved on that end of the court.

I was in Korea for over 7 years and couldn't watch football regularly. When I returned I found my interest has waned. Unlike basketball, I rarely watch anymore.

Can you say how you see their roster working out to make this happen? I'm interested. Stuelke will be a soph and has physical talent that Czinzano never possessed. Czinano , for all her scoring prowess, was never that good defensively or rebounding. O'Grady, backed up by Solomon will provide...

I think Iowa is going to be stronger in the frontcourt this year despite losing Czinano, and will be stronger in 23-24 than in 22-23. And I agree that it will be a VERY interesting year

I think they were thinking of LSU with Seimone and Fowles.

I think the SEC is pretty far down this year. Aside from SC and possibly LSU they are pretty weak. Even if they don't improve TN should be in the top four just from a talent perspective.

Does anyone know if UConn is still pursuing Clara Silva of Portugal?

I'm picking Stanford 76-69.

Thank you for your work, much appreciated.

Who cares? I would bet the playing time is pretty equal.

SDS TN SC by a mile (maybe even a light year)

She's always had the physical talent, but skill development was a problem as she started her bb career so late. I think with a year to work on skills under her belt, she will be really good if she can get the minutes on the floor.

Only at the top: imho the top 3 or 4 in the SEC are better than the top 3 or 4 in the ACC. But the ACC is deeper.

I pick Kyei to be at least 2nd team all conf.

But it is interesting that no one is talking about Amari's progress: not Geno, her teammates or the media.

A hard 800m is different from a race pace 800m.

Just loved "Defense wins championships"

Kei is going to start for OR next year.

VA??? How does this prove your point in ANY way?

If they had really dominated 90% of the game, one turnover shouldn't have mattered.

I don't think it would be "amazing" if he has similar accomplishments at Butler (given a few years). He'll be recruiting in the same area with the same contacts and he's a good coach.

She said conditioning, never said she was overweight, so why bristle?

Morgan had noticeably better post skills than AE, had a much better outside shot, and played equally good defense without fouling. None of this is to denigrate AE, Morgan Tuck was a hell of a player; limited only by her gimpy knees.

Subtraction by addition?

Unlike previous years, the starting five (barring injury) is pretty much a foregone conclusion (Bueckers, Fudd, Edwards, Juhacz, Ducharme).

I'm thinking Kyei has a big breakout season next year

That was my point

The refs were at best mediocre, but they made good and bad calls equally on both teams.

But dunking won't get her any more playing time. Only good defense and a modicum of inside skills and effort will do that.

The argument isn't about BYU; it's about the NET and how it's used (or not used) properly
