Another good player like Plum. She might be the best player in women's college basketball. Of course they would be great with someone as good as here. But hey have a really good team and have 3 very good players and some other solid roll players. I think their as good as Florida ST. Especially without Romero. The Irish play Washington, U Conn, Tennessee, Michigan ST, Depaul , Iowa, Wisconsin Greenbay. All tournament teams last year. They will also be playing Florida ST, Louisville, Syracuse , Duke, and Miami all ranked teams in conference. That is 12 teams that could end up not only in the tournament but in the top 25. Sounds pretty solid to me.

That can't be.
Everyone knows Lindsay Allen is the best PG. Guess that might make HER the best player. ;)

Plum is a shooting guard. And Allen might be the best point guard at certain things. Not so much scoring but the way she steers the ship and controls the offense are very important parts to a point guards game. She gets everyone else involved and knows her job as well as anyone in the country.

If it doesnt matter why are you wasting your time discussing it and giving your opinion?

Because it's a Discussion board DUH!!!. I have my own views on things and i express them. It may not matter but if i don't agree with your assessment then i will respond with my own. Especially if my team is involved.

If Romero had played, it's possible one of the other players would not have gotten the chance to play as much and do as well. UCONN played a sloppy game and still won on the road. In the last few minutes, UCONN had three freshmen, Butler, and Lawlor on the floor and they helped maintain the over twenty point lead. They got much needed experience against a good opponent on the road. If ND had played against a top ten team the way they played against Green Bay, they probably would have lost. The same criticism that goes for UCONN should go for other top teams.

I think Greenbay is better then people think. Florida ST ranking was based on them having a healthy Romero i believe.

Penn State beat Tenn also receive zero vote.
I seriously doubt the AP pools.
Debbie Antonelli has UConn 5th is a joke.

Antonelli said the other night that she has noticed UConn's wins, but is not going to shake up her top five until teams start losing.

Lindsay Allen is a two-time Lieberman finalist.
 
Plum can play the 1 or 2.
However, she is also a tremendous team leader.
She makes a lot of her teammates better,

Dont tell me about Plum iv been a Washington fan in all sports my whole life .My mom is from there. Yes she plays both but anyone who watches women's basketball knows she is more a 2 then a 1. Same with Mitchell from Ohio ST and Jones from Baylor. Allen is a true point guard. Furthermore i never said Allen was the best point guard. But she does some things as good as anyone else at the position. Your assuming i think she is because im a N.D. fan. Several of the as you stated experts have her up for quit a few awards but what do they know

So where does she place Baylor and where were they before they started losing?

Kind of ironic since Muffet won't play us in Columbia.
Expand ...
Really Ironic since we had one more game to add on our OOC schedule and Muffet denied to play a home and home with us. I guess since she barely beat us by luck in the FF two years ago she was scared of the outcome when they came to play in front of 18,000+

Do you have a source on that? Not calling you out, just, you know...trust but verify

SC lost a home and home series with an elite level major WCBB program at the last minute due to the other team backing out. Dawn has alluded to it without outright saying it several times via social media over the summer/fall while responding to fan inquiries over our schedule being finalized later than normal.

Not confirming it's Notre Dame because nobody has come out and said it... but that's what everybody in Columbia is saying. Again, I have no written articles or sources to send your way. It's just what's being said.

I mean, when you look at the schedule.... We're already playing UConn, Texas, Louisville, Ohio State, Duke, UCLA.. and we recently had home and home series with Southern Cal and Stanford. It could be Baylor, but Baylor is a part of the SEC/Big 12 WBB challenge so we'll likely play them in the future anyway.. so I doubt it's them since that matchup is likely inevitable sooner rather than later. That pretty much leaves Notre Dame and maybe Maryland?

Who really knows... very few people actually.

You both make a good case. Permit me to remind you of something Mark Twain once said:

"First get your facts straight. Then you may distort them however you wish."​

Just saying, er, quoting. ;)
