I hope Joan has kept you entertained with her deep insights.

That is a blatant flag-10 thread ban! 1st down @nwhoopfan

I don't get what you mean here. They just lost today to a team they shouldn't have lost to. UCLA isn't battle hardened? They aren't great, but I bet you most teams don't want to face them in the Tourney. Arizona's D can be ferocious and Aari can carry a team by herself at times.

From what I'm seeing and hearing, nobody else around the country is really playing consistently well or looking dominant.

I don't know how to break this to you but Oregon's team last year would have easily beaten your Arizona team. Probably beaten this Stanford team too. And well UCLA, Cori Close, enough said.

What does last year's Oregon team have to do with anything about this year?

I think last year's Arizona team would've beaten this year's Arizona team, but they will never play, so it's a completely pointless and useless argument to make.

Question for you - because you mentioned Reese above - my one issue since she has been here (based primarily on the games I attended since I don't get PAC network, but I did see the Oregon game and it happened there too) - is that at times it seems to me she goes up "weak". I don't know a better way to say it. She is close in, shoots, and the ball doesn't make the rim. It happens a lot, compared to anyone else I've seen and I attended every Rutgers home game for 15 years, and most away games for probably 10, plus about 10 years of the Liberty so I've seen a pretty fair number of players. I've seen it happen on TV to various players at various times, but nothing to suggest it was a consistent failing for these other players.

Just like your fans saying Destiny Slocum would have been the savior for this game and the team this year. (From another site) Scott has problems of not adapting to changing times and style , nothing to do with Slocum leaving.

I thought by now Slocum would have been an AA at least twice in her career. That was based on her freshman season.

Oregon State is painfully bad this season. Sure a co-vid pause of nearly 1 month doesn't help, but this years team
is not in sync, not physical enough to rebound well, and not quick enough to guard the 3 and the paint simultaneously. Well, Talia von Oelhoffen (or "TVO" as some like to call her) is joining the team 5 months early, so maybe she can help them a little. She graduated early from High School.

Talia von Oelhoffen, a 5-star guard who signed with Oregon State in November, graduates early from high school and joins Beavers

Von Oelhoffen, who can join the Beavers for practice and games as soon as she passes university health protocols, scored 2,392 points during a three-year high school career in Washington.

Reese is an enigma to me. Sometimes she's great, sometimes she's invisible. I guess I haven't noticed her leaving a lot of shots short, but she does end up on the floor A LOT! She shoots a lot of leaning sideways shots and her momentum takes her to the ground.
