I guess part of the fallout of getting blown out by 30 by Northwestern is you don't make lists like this one.
Doesn't Maryland have other things to worry about right now?
Yes, I concur that some fans have “piled on” perhaps misconstruing what @TerpWomenFan meant. To me, Kaila Charles was the the preseaon Big10 POY and Mikeselll was the 2019 Freshman of the year and Austin was ranked ahead of ONO coming out of HS so yes, this could be bulletin board material to motivate this group to work and perform better. I don’t view it as “slighting” any of them as none of them have earned it yet. That would be the point-to show the rest of the WCBB community that they belong in the conversation. Whether they can actually do it needs to start with tonight’s ESPN2 game against tOSU that I will be attending (shameless self-promotion

She enjoyed the sugar rush a little too much when her team was feasting on cupcakes like Wagner, Belmont & Georgia State not thinking that would leave MD ill prepared for teams like unranked Northwestern and James Madison. This is an annual addiction for MD WBB although they did take Maryland Eastern Shore off the schedule this year.
I mean, if a 30-point loss to a team that Maryland had never lost to before isn't motivation enough, then I think Brenda has bigger problems.Yes, I concur that some fans have “piled on” perhaps misconstruing what @TerpWomenFan meant.

That said, I think the list is fairly accurate with some quibbles as noted and few not mentioned but as the 40% mark of the season was a fair overview. Though the #2 guard slot not listing the Oklahoma sniper Robertson seems like a slight...
Agree - time for CW to make good on that!but realistically, her season has not been top 5 until the last 2-3 games. The Baylor game will be the perfect opportunity for her to make 'them feel us'
Isn't being a Maryland fan and posting that on a UConn board reason enough??
Not the response I’d hoped for
That sounds like fans of other teams talking about UConn’s schedule
In all seriousness, I agree that Kaila Charles is a questionable omission. Definitely could be argued she should be ahead of, e.g., Joyner Holmes.
Agreed, but who would you put on over Slocum and Pivec.
Oregon State has been struggling with its offense as a team of late and will need to be better this coming weekend at the Arizona schools. However, Slocum continues to play at a high level and Pivec tends to take over when her team is struggling. Those two have been steadying forces when Oregon State has struggled offensively.
