10 Most Impactful Non-Conference games

[Bone Dog]

Not a bad article, for a change. Though the bit about the SC game includes this peculiar misstatement: “South Carolina enters this matchup with four straight wins in the series, one that the Huskies dominated in its early days.”

I seem to recall a win engineered by Paige in the recent past. Or was I merely dreaming?

Everyone has circled the Nov. 20 game between South Carolina and Stanford, the past two NCAA champions, on the calendar. What other games will influence the rest of the 2022-23 season?

Paige 31 points. February 21, 2021 I can see how you thought you might’ve been dreaming with the game that she had that night. Second, only to maybe the NC State game.

It’s 2 straight wins for SC but 3 of the last 4 I believe (with the 1 UConn win being the Paige takeover above). HOWEVER, technically neither of the last 2 SC wins against UConn have been part of the home-and-home series we have with them. SO TECHNICALLY, UConn has the last win in that series.

Playing away will be a disadvantage for Scar when they play Stanford.
Stanford could end up becoming #1.

Home court does count even if only due to travel in a coast to coast travel game. Normally a Stanford crowd isn’t a big factor. Might be different for this matchup of potential 1vs 2 between the last two champs. Attendance figures and TV viewership will be interesting.
