Yes, the talent infusion into the conference from just those two teams is CRAZY to think about! The rest of the B1G will be playing catch-up for a few seasons.
And Oregon has fat slob coaching so we know the outcome already.
Hold on a sec. Indiana has never made a Final 4 either and Frese hasn't made it since 2015. In fact she's only made it past the Sweet 16 once since then. I'd say Closes's post season record lines up pretty well with Frese and Moren over the last nearly decade. And let's not pretend Maryland hasn't had a whole bunch of talent pass thru. You could probably argue they've had more than UCLA has. Retention of that talent has been a problem, but that's part of coaching too isn't it?
Makes sense based on their schedule from last season. Gives the impression that each team will have one home and away series going forward. Will be interesting to see how this plays out when more information is released.x.com

Can't find this news for other schools yet but I'd suspect there's a conference-wide press release coming soon.
Lemme go ahead and count the losses for Sparty
Not sure about Top 10, but I could see them in the Top 25 at some point during the season if things play out as they hope. There's a lot of new pieces that have to mesh together this summer.
Same. I'm big on like who are your two best players and style of play. As much as I like their pieces, I'm not sure who their two best players r and what is the vision in terms of style of play. One of the funniest Maryland teams was the 20-21 team. They were deep but then obviously Diamond Miller and Ashley Owusu were there best players. Also they shared the ball and played at a great place so shooters like Katie Benzin could get off. I thought the 23 team was similar in terms of a clear pecking order Diamond Miller and Abby Meyer. But they also had great pieces like Lav and B Alexander who came off the bench to provide offense. That made sense. So I'm just interested in Brenda Freese vision.
Often only stopping for a cup of coffee and some danish.
Don't you have to get some crab cakes while you're in Maryland? Or am I getting my states mixed up?
Maryland is know for its crab cakes, but College Park is known for the Black Angus. (Just kidding, I don't even know if it's still there)
I bought my ticket last night! This will be my first trip to Vegas. It wasn't high on my vacation choices list, but the game made it palatable.
I thought they were playing Texas? Or is it a weekend event where they play both Texas and South Carolina?
I think there's some confusion on the topic. I believe both Texas and South Carolina are playing an opponent in Las Vegas and did not realize the other team was slated to play there, so when Michigan announced they were playing in Las Vegas, each fanbase assumed that they were the opponent. I haven't seen any official announcements but South Carolina newspapers are saying it's South Carolina vs. Michigan.
