Tell me about the NEW Big Ten

Betts set a single season record for blocks at UCLA. Previous record holder was Mo Billings. With quite a few games left potentially, she's gonna add to that a fair bit.

UCLA pulled away a bit down the stretch 70-55 final.

I think they have to win out to feel safe. It's a little late in the game to not have a single Q1 win (especially given that they play in the B1G).

We Minnesota. We ain't worried about a Q1 win or DQ1 win. Our expectations every year is, anything above 10 wins is a plus. So, winning 20 games or more, for women's basketball, oh we are on cloud 9! We ain't hanging banners, yet.

That is unbelievable to me. The bubble must be extremely soft. As a Washington fan, I'll be the first to say they don't deserve a bid.

The bids that the PAC 12 used to get had to go somewhere. Arizona and even Stanford are currently withing striking distance of getting a bid if a few teams ahead if them keep losing while they keep on winning.

I want to go into depth about why the bubble will probably be soft from now on but I do it another post later.

The bids that the PAC 12 used to get had to go somewhere.

To former Pac 12 teams apparently. I hadn't thought of that, good point. Saw that during Bowl Season in football as well.

Michigan State gets an important win over Indiana to remain in the upper portion of the conference. Theyrn Hallock impressed me last season, but damn, the speed and instincts she has are insane.

UCLA squeaks out the win in Iowa City against the Hawkeyes. Seeing the loss as a moral victory may not sit well with fans, but I think it should be. Considering where they were earlier in the season, they're trending upward with respect to the level of play. This is a good sign with the conference tournament coming soon.
