Big 12 season thread ('24-'25)

Closer than some anticipated but Colorado beat Houston 66-58.

In the opener UCF beat BYU 81-69. Amber Whiting is in over her head, right? Can everybody else see that? Jump from high school to college is a leap that just shouldn't be made for coaches.

Arizona St. nearly blew a 19 point 4th quarter lead but held on against Cincinnati.

Breya Cunningham was such a highly-recruited post player out of California a few years ago. Honorable Mention is not the level I predicted for her at Arizona.

Now that's how you throw a party. I think every lower seeded team won today. Oops, 3 out of 4. Would've been a huge upset if Houston beat Colorado.

Breya Cunningham was such a highly-recruited post player out of California a few years ago. Honorable Mention is not the level I predicted for her at Arizona.

She has a foul problem. Not "physical" fouls. Just tries to block every shot, including times when it is impossible. And reaches in on plays when she isn't under the basket.

Her touch on scoring is unbelievable. No matter how awkward the shot looks, it usually goes in, a lot of jump hooks. But it is hard to score when you are sitting on the bench due to foul trouble.

If she played more, she would have been on one of the teams, she is probably one of the most talented players on Arizona. The others are inconsistent, Jada Williams if she was less streaky and slightly more of a scorer (and if Arizona had been better over-all) probably would have been somewhere on the list. In the future, Swann that made the freshman team is an all conference prospect - she is that talented but needs to make the freshman-sophomore leap and expand her skill set.
