Straight up, will South Carolina pull off another undefeated season in 2024-25? They have the most athletic and balanced roster in the country and everyone is back besides Cardoso: Projected starters: Ashlyn Watkins Chloe Kitts Bree Hall Tehina Pao Pao Raven Johnson Bench: Milaysia Fulwiley...

South Carolina on an undefeated season! Pretty insane considering what they lost last year. They're going to be scary good again next year with everyone back besides Cardoso.

The matchup is set. Who do you think wins? SC is the clear favorite, but I wouldn't be shocked to see Iowa pull this out. Part of what makes South Carolina so dominant is that they wear teams down which we saw tonight in the 3rd quarter when they absolutely blitzed NC State, but Iowa doesn't...

Clark has led Iowa back to the Final Four while averaging 32 points, 9 assists and 7+ rebounds on 46/38/86 shooting splits. They won a Big Ten Tournament Championship in dramatic fashion, earned a #1 seed entering the tournament and ousted the defending champs en route to the Final Four, with...

Quick power rankings/predictions entering the Sweet 16: 1. South Carolina-they're still undefeated and #1 despite a rough 4th quarter vs. Indiana. I think they come out and likely beat Oregon State, but Oregon State is playing well. 2. Texas-they've looked consistently the best this...

We still have a full month until the tournament, but I think some end of year hardware is starting to look clear as the season winds down: POY: Clark has this on lock. COY: Staley has this on lock too. Lots of other nice coaching jobs this year but the way SC has absolutely dominated...

I hear all of the time that certain schools or certain pro franchises have better facilities than others and I know these can be a big recruiting tool, but what distinguishes good facilities from mediocre ones and what are some examples of how a specific university has great facilities?

She’s had a roller coaster few years but seems to be thriving in Happy Valley. Penn State is 5-0 since she started playing and she is tearing it up (18.6 points, 5.8 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 50% shooting). Happy to see things are working out well for her this season. She’s an unbelievably good...

I see SC having 4 realistic chances of getting beat prior to the tournament. We have: -at LSU on Thursday -vs UCONN on Feb 12 -at Tennessee on Feb 16 -vs LSU in SEC Tournament South Carolina hasn’t lost in South Carolina since 2020, I don’t see anyone aside from UCONN/LSU with a realistic...

Just thought she deserved her own thread. Her per game averages are insane: 24.8 points 6.8 rebounds 5.8 assists 5.7 steals With shooting splits of 49.5% FG, 36.6% 3pt, 78% FT. She's putting up really good numbers against strong opponents too, she's not just piling stats on mediocre teams...

A lot of the standout coaches in the sport are getting up there in age, take a look at some of the big names below: Tara Vanderveer-70 years old. Stanford joins the ACC next year meaning a significant increase in travel. Stanford also projects to drop off next year in competitiveness with...

After scoring a modest 24 points today, Caitlin Clark currently sits at 2978 career points. In the next 2 games she's expected to pass all time greats Chamique Holdsclaw, Maya Moore and Cheryl Miller in career points scored. She has 21 regular season games left and at least 2 post season games...

Top 38 players so far this year, ranked by position (note, I'm sure I'm missing some Mid-Majors and other folks on here, please add them in to get discussion going). I ranked these players based on a combination of stats, big game performances and eye test. Someone like Bueckers doesn't pass...

Thought this deserved its own thread. Cameron Brink, the player who shot 65% from the line as a freshman and 61% as a shooter, has made 72 straight FTs. According to the commentators, she is 4 away from setting the NCAA record for consecutive FTs made.

We're less than 2 weeks into the season and look at all the losses for the preseason top 12 1 LSU - lost to #20 Colorado by double digits 2 UConn - preseason lost to unranked NC State by double digits 3 Iowa - lost to unranked Kansas State at home 4 UCLA - nearly lost to unranked...

I thought I'd start a thread for America's favorite team and fan base! I watched the first half of their 2nd exhibition highlights (can be viewed here): Initial thoughts: Their starting 5 is going to be extremely good. I don't think there's a more athletic team in the country than LSU...

Who were some of the best collegiate players whose careers never came to fruition? Here are some standouts whose careers never took off in the pros despite being great collegiately: 1. Jackie Stiles-we were robbed of watching how good she would become. She beat out Lauren Jackson for ROY. 2...

Thought I'd get a thread going for the current champs. They'll likely be a top team next year and appear to be in the mix for a number of high profile transfers. Looking at the roster for next year, my guess for lineup will be: Projected Starting Lineup: C-Angel Reese, Jr F-Sa'Myah Smith, So...

POY: Caitlin Clark DPOY: Aliyah Boston COY: Dawn Staley Congrats to all 3, all very well deserved. Some notes: Boston becomes the first 2x recipient of the Naismith DPOY award since it was implemented in 2018. Dawn wins her 3rd COY award in the last 4 years. This ties her for third all time...

Is there a way to find out which sections are designated for specific fan bases? Hoping to buy tickets for Friday, but don't want to accidentally end up in a sea of South Carolina fans while I'm rooting for Iowa.

Who advances to Sunday? We have 2 fantastic matchups ahead. Match up 1: LSU vs. Virginia Tech Storylines to watch: Post battle between Kitley/Reese will be really intriguing. Reese is not as polished but goes hard for every single ball, is extremely long and an absolute animal on the...

Who ya got?

Who ya got? Iowa vs. Louisville: I think Iowa takes it here but Louisville can ugly the game up and make it competitive. Louisville has underachieved all year but seems to be finding their rhythm at the right time. I think Iowa pulls it out, but this is going to be a very competitive game...

Per Draftkings the betting lines right now are: Virginia Tech is a 1 point favorite over Tennessee Maryland 5 points over Notre Dame UCONN 10 points over Ohio State South Carolina 17.5 points over UCLA Louisville 2.5 points over Ole Miss Iowa 5.5 points over Colorado LSU 5 points over Utah...

Goes to Dawn Staley for the 3rd time in 4 years. Very well deserved! https://gamecocksonline.com/news/2023/03/22/staley-named-usbwa-coach-of-the-year/?fbclid=IwAR1GupzHo5M3xzg1MVe9tET0bN5zHxJJyQQBl8okLIoi8sNtxtOS89MfkH0

Looking at the tournament, here are some potential matchups that look really intriguing: Greenville 1: Notre Dame/Creighton in 2nd Round. By the looks of it, Notre Dame is not very good without Miles. Creighton pulled off a great Cinderella run last year, I think they could do the same again...

Link No surprise with increased visibility and parity. The product is great and when networks put games on TV, people watch.

SEC: Player of the Year: Aliyah Boston, South Carolina Coach of the Year: Dawn Staley, South Carolina Freshman of the Year: Flaujae Johnson, LSU Pac-12: Player of the Year: Alissa Pili, Utah Coach of the Year: Lynne Roberts, Utah Freshman of the Year: Raegan Beers, Oregon State Big 12: Player...

Link Thought this was deserving of its own thread. Impressive stuff. She's in her 5th year but beat Kelsey Mitchell's mark in fewer games played.

We're about midway through the year--who right now is in the running for POY? As of right now I think Clark is the runaway choice (27 points, 7 boards, 7 assists) with Reese as a dark horse if she keeps up her insane numbers (24 points, 16 rebounds, 60% FG) in SEC play. Other contenders on...

I say it's about a 30/70 shot at this point. They don't look like a dominant number 1 team, barely eeking out a win at Stanford and being played very tough by UCLA. Their only other win of note is over Maryland who was without Diamond Miller. That said, their schedule is quite underwhelming...

Biggest underachievers: 1. Tennessee: Started the year 4-5 with their only wins being over unranked foes. Jackson is not playing for an unknown reason (but that probably isn't a great sign). I could see this team legitimately missing the tournament if they don't clean up their play in the...

With a little less than a month before playoffs, here's how I would choose teams/awards at this point: MVP: Breanna Stewart, Seattle ROY: Rhyne Howard, Atlanta COY: James Wade, Chicago DPOY: Ezi Magbegor, Seattle Most Improved: Kelsey Plum, Las Vegas 6th player: Brionna Jones, Connecticut...

Is Aliyah Boston! Also took home Defensive POY too. Well deserved and a huge congratulations.

Who ya got? This game should look drastically different than the first matchup. Both teams rely on great ball movement but have capable ball handlers. Stanford is likely the favorite but I think UCONN takes this. They were so tough and gritty tonight, Bueckers looks like she is on a mission...
