10 Things we learned in the first 10 days of WCBB

[Aluminny69]

1. UConn 'could be really, really good​

Did they steal that from TonyC?

ESPN Ten Things

 

[Cornell Lt]

What We've learned is that preseason rankings are useless

Or from Nika?

 

[Bald Husky]

Or from Nika?

Geno quoted Nika in his interview and ESPN picked it up from him.

 

[Bone Dog]

Geno quoted Nika in his interview and ESPN picked it up from him.

Last year he joked about letting Nika coach the games. If she's giving him his lines for the presser, maybe it wasn't a joke!

 

[OldSchooler]

What I learned is that these pre-season prognosticators aren't any better than political pollsters!

 

[Zarathustra]

I learned that we are experiencing "parity" in all the strangest places!
It's rather exciting, but only if OUR team wins!! GO Huskies!

Stanford is still Stanford
UConn is still UConn
SCar is still SCar
All three are loaded with talent

Tennessee is still Tennessee despite a talent upgrade.
I'm most curious to see if NCState is still NCState of the past 5 years or so.

 

[Next 12]

That we have the nucleus of a powerhouse , scoring and defending. As we go further in the season I'm looking for us to get better and better. We still haven't had Caroline in the mix and I'm really looking forward for her contributions to the team. GO HUSKIES!!!

Have we really learned anything about Stanford yet with their cream puff opening schedule? We’re about to learn a lot about them, though.

 

[jabstep]

We learned that Beal is now hitting three's for SC and they still havnt found a point guard. They are still gonna be tough to beat.

 

[Aluminny69]

In all fairness, you can't predict key injuries. Or rankings based on two games.

Have we really learned anything about Stanford yet with their cream puff opening schedule? We’re about to learn a lot about them, though.

We’ve learned they can and do still go almost 3 deep at every position and give most of them meaningful minutes without a big difference - against cream puffs. Their third string has more talent than most teams’ first string.

 

[Bone Dog]

Their third string has more talent than most teams’ first string.

But their third string is not competitive with the rotation players on SC or UConn. Or even Texas for that matter. In those games, Tara will not play that much of her bench. Is her 5+3 complétive with Geno’s 5+3 or Dawn’s 5+4? That’s the only question that could be answered. My guess is in tomorrow’s games the answer will be “no.”

 

[JellyBean]

The things that I have learned so far over these 10 or so days, some teams came into the season focused and some teams are still developing their chemistry.

Marquette beat Texas today in the Bahamas. Just another talented Big East team to challenge UCONN.
Texas might drop from #3 to out of the top ten.

 

[CL82]

1. Dorka’s thumbs aren’t unbreakable
2. Never thumb wrestle Nika Muhl

After the UConn spanking they received on National TV, they're still a bit disoriented. They'll recover eventually.
