That was not top ten worthy of either team

Very ugly. SC held to 46 points. Boston held to 9 points.

Andy Landers hit the nail on the head. Each team focused on shutting down the post. Both were successful. SC and Wolfpack each had bad shooting games. I really didn't notice Boston until she hit two threes. Grissett for SC did not impress me in her minutes.

I'm just happy it didn't go into overtime, both teams DID NOT help non women's basketball fans. The both looked like the young ladies that play the halftime games during a UConn game.
Their center and team inside defense really caused Boston to struggle. SC really missing a veteran point guard. Outside shooting was very off for both teams. This is going to be a very interesting season. This game showcased how team defense was much better than offense.

That game wasn't exactly thrilling to watch but I think both teams are better than they showed. I think there are going to be more rusty games for even good teams than not as long as there are many disruptions of practice and normal activities.

SC has not been impressive this year. I think losing 2 starters from last year's team is impacting them more than people thought it would based on all the talent they have.
Just my $.02 - I think Henderson is more a scoring guard - not as much this game obviously, but I don't think she's the distributor that Harris was last season. They have some growing pains for sure.
Early in the season, you would expect the defense to be ahead of the offense. That was the case with both teams. Still, excellent win for NC State. SO glad to see SC go down.

I feel you but this year I have very little worry. Geno with depth is like Michelangelo with Carrara marble.I'm not gonna throw any stones until I'm sure we're not living in a glass house.

Good deal! UConn wins the National Championship without playing one game!

What, you don't think UConn is the clear #1 before they've played a game?

I have mixed feelings about it. I like NC State and tend to root for them against most teams to begin with, and I also tend to root for the underdog unless it's against UConn.
However, it would have been a lot more exciting (and better for UConn, of course) if SC could've stayed undefeated and #1 until our game with them.
