UO OU = Oklahoma University.

Come on. Take mercy on a poor UConn fan. After SC does a number on us, will probably use USC.

I remember the earlier article but the current article time stamp is Jan 28 so I guess there may have been some modifications.

I noticed the updated date as well. In addition, the previous edition has Bella Alarie on the cover while the updated one has Mikayla Pivec on the cover.

You would have thought so but no.

Comments from the current article on Nelson-Ododa:

This was going to be a big year for the 6-foot-5 sophomore, and so far, she’s coming up big to match the moment. Nelson-Ododa, who came off the bench for the Huskies as a freshman, is holding things down inside for the Connecticut, with 51 blocked shots already this season. She is averaging 13.8 points and 9.4 rebounds per game.

From NCAA stats player page she got her 51st block vs Wichita St on 2 Jan 2020. She how has 74 blocks for the season.

The second best conference in the country this season do not have a single player on it. I guess the Big 10 just have too much balance this season.

I agree that seems odd and wrong. Which players would you add?

There aren't 5 SG's I'd take over Gorecki

I will be honest I haven't watched any Duke games, not due to lack of interest mind you but availability, but until Lambert was inserted into the lineup (which was after the article was first published in early January) didn't Duke's starting lineup have Gorecki at the 1 and Goodchild at the 2?

Mind you if Sabrina is the 1 for Oregon then that makes Moore the 2. Is that right? I guess Cazorla was a 2 last year as well.

Kelly plays 2 point guards and it works.

I like Gorecki's all-around game and note that she is very good at getting to the free throw line. She is shooting only 40.6% from the field this season and is a lifetime 38% from the field, indicating that she needs a high volume of shots to score like she does. Is something off with her shot selection, or is she simply commanding lots of defensive attention as Duke's featured scorer.

Look at her overall productivity this season and determine where she should rank on that list of the five best shooting guards. #3?

After looking at the SG, SF and PF I don't think I can take any one of them off the list at this time. But Kayla Charles has played at an All American level since the Iowa loss and subsequent 7 game winning streak.
