Louisville vs Depaul

[Zinethar]

Wow total beat down of DePaul. Louisville scored over 100 by end of 3rd quarter. Honestly I thought DePaul looked better than either team in the SC game. Hailey Van Lith looked very good although she needs to learn Refs don't appreciate contrary opinions when they call a foul on you. If Louisville is not now #1 I would be shocked.

 

[hoopsfan22]

My top 10: Louisville, Baylor, Stanford, NC State, Texas A&M, Miss State, South Carolina, Kentucky, UCONN, Oregon.

 

[Zinethar]

I would argue your #9 selection but not your #1 at this point. Heck DePaul scored 75 and were not even in the game except very early and didn't look that bad. Could not rebound with Louisville.

 

[and one]

I turned the game on during the first quarter when the score was close. Both teams were running and scoring - so different from SC/NC. Shortly thereafter Louisville went on a big run and that was all she wrote for DePaul. Even with the big loss DePaul looked to a decent team. They just couldn't deal with the inside hight or hit 3s. Louisville will be a handful; they have talent everywhere on the floor. Couldn't help but notice that Hailey Van Lith looked very comfortable playing at the college level as a frosh.

Louisville is Damn Good....Really Really Good. Where the hell did the Kianna Smith girl come from? She takes them to a new Level. Evans,Hailey Van Lith , Cochran a 3 headed monster . Belgoun hasn’t even gotten into her groove yet playing with the senior national team. Dixon off the bench is a game changer. I had Syracuse as my ACC champ , but I quickly retract !

 

[soxfan23]

Louisville is the best team in the country right now! Hailey Van Lith is the real deal, Bueckers has some tough competition as the best PG in this class.

If Hailey Van Lith was the #2 HS player, PB must be a beast!

Transfer from Cal, where she showed some promise but wasn't a star.

UCONN is 0-0 after two weeks of play. They should not even be ranked at this point, so #9 is overly generous and is ultimately a paper ranking.

Women's basketball. It's the GOAT of the day.

Syracuse will be very good at the end of the year. The games with Louisville should be exciting. Cardoso is going to be very good, and Williams is a 6-2 shooter as a guard. Having Tiana who can score, and distribute, getting them good looks, will be fun to watch. Uconn, Louisville, and Syracuse should be a good example of how important having a good distributor at guard can be.

 

[ME Husky Fan]

Depaul's pressure or trapping or whatever they threw at Louisville didn't work. Too many times Louisville broke that pressure and it ended up with too many easy opportunities, layups open 3's, etc.

Then don't rank UConn. You won't rank them 1-8 because they haven't played but you're willing to rank them #9 and ahead of an Oregon team that has played 3 games. This makes no sense.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Van Lith and Cochran have been terrific out of the gate as starters. I wonder if UConn has a talented freshman guard and talented freshman forward/post that might be a good template for.

 

[MD#12Fan]

UCONN is 0-0 after two weeks of play. They should not even be ranked at this point, so #9 is overly generous and is ultimately a paper ranking.

Which is why talking about rankings is BS. When was the last time UConn was not top 10 or top 5 for that matter. I was trying to ignore this blather, but you kept talking. Can’t believe it.
There should be a moratorium on BY regarding talking about UConn. NOBODY’S seen them play. Praise Louisville all you want!

Great idea - let’s try that!

 

[Baylor1994]

Hailey Van Lith sure would’ve helped out Baylor a lot on offense!

Paige was the better player in the U17 they played as juniors overseas. Hailey Van Lith was darn good - but Paige was better. I think we're all going to be ecstatic very very very soon.

 

[Woof 101]

Feel bad for Geno's friend they got ran out of the gym. No defense at all.
Stats tell the story Blks 11- 0, Reb 55 - 40 . Ahh heck read it here.

I absolutely agree with Zinethar
altogether a much more credible exhibition
of the woman's game than the Carolina donnybrook.
The level of athleticism and individual movement
was far superior by both teams to anything
compared to the night before.

I kept thinking of Brer Rabbit and the Tar Baby
like their feet were dipped in Molasses or sumpting.

That game by Louisville was about as much good news for their fans as a game can be. Total domination of a ranked team and two highly recruited freshmen looking like the real deal from day one. They are in the hunt now, and those two top freshmen likely will keep them as contenders for four years with just some additional recruits. Not as good as our last two recruiting classes, but those two didn't just show "potential" or appear to be "fitting in", they looked like dominant stars right now.

UCONN is 0-0 after two weeks of play. They should not even be ranked at this point, so #9 is overly generous and is ultimately a paper ranking.

...and you have Stanford at #3 with only one game played? Is there a cutoff number of games that should be played after two weeks?

 

[jabstep]

Well If Hailey Van Lith is fitting in so easily to WCBB Then we can assume that Paige will be ready to play from day one. As I watched Hailey Van Lith play the point for Walz on the FIBA team she seemed out of position. She is not your pass first PG. She is a scorer and can be guarded by someone like Aubrey Griffin. We surely can't let Smith stand on the perimeter with no one within ten feet of her and shoot three's. They certainly won't have the Loiusville bigs standing by themselves alone under the basket to shoot 8-9 on open 3ft shots. Louisville looks good but as we have seen before DePaul's press against a good team is a joke. Bring them on the Huskies are waiting.

Doug: "Why did I volunteer to replace UConn"
Jeff: "I'm so happy it wasn't UConn"
