Oregon St. vs. Cal Poly

ND, UConn, Baylor, Miss. State, possibly S. Carolina. IMO Oregon will fall in with that 2nd group of Louisville, Stanford, TN, Texas, etc. They're not doing anything to change my mind today vs. Syracuse either.

I would put Louisville before Miss St and definitely before S. Carolina.

Whatever - who knows. I just think Oregon is way overrated. They're a nice little team for the PAC-12 I guess. Today's game with Syracuse isn't changing my mind.

I feel your pain, and maybe Baylor could slide ahead of them on the strength of their freshman off the bench. However, I'm not sold on MSST who are clearly deficient beyond the arc and have no proven scorers aside from McGowan who is just a force. And the same goes for Lousville and SCarolina, both have taken losses in graduation that leave them with big holes in their lineups. Of course, it will all come out in the wash, I think we saw Oregon play a very athletic team and were clearly shown where their deficiencies are and work is needed. That being said, despite having an off day all the way around the board and it being early for them as well, they pulled out the victory. I rather overstate them than underestimate them. Go Huskies!

Early in the year, but not the best game for Oregon. They looked slow and nothing about what they did was very crisp or in rhythm. Ionescu is a stud but we didn't see a lot of her, Cazorla or Sabally beating defenders off the dribble. Not enough touches for Hebard. Boley struggled shooting but most days she'll shoot better IMO. Still dangerous team, but I'm guessing they're a big step behind UCONN. I think they'll be a 3-4 loss team this year. Mississippi State will be a very tough matchup for them IMO. Can't wait to see that game.

Syracuse was very tough...was hoping they'd pull it out. They played smart basketball where they applied enough pressure to get OU out of system but didn't force the issue to sacrifice a fast break basket. Should give teams a challenge in the ACC. His teams are always fun to watch.
