If the champion had been decided by ESPN for the last 20 years UConn would have won maybe 2 titles instead of 9.
ESPN just announces that any UConn's NC has players including DT, Tina, Maya and Stewart should not be counted. That will make UConn's NC to only 2 instead of 11.
Okay then.
Do USC’s titles with Miller not count? What about Tennessee’s titles with Holdsclaw?
ESPN doesn't hate Southern Cal or TN... just UCONN
Actually I thought Mississippi State would be somewhere in the top 5. They lose only one player and add 2 McDonald's All American. They are two deep at every position. Rickea Jackson will be an All American this year.
Lol, valid but I think they actually have a solid claim to preseason #1 with their freshman trio returning along with Henderson, Saxton and Grissett.
Stanford looks loaded too, even without Carrington. I think there's a drop off after these 2.
Mississippi State at 3 is high IMO but I wouldn't count them out. Jackson is gonna be a star and they return a ton of talent. Vic's roster is crazy deep though which often times doesn't lead to great chemistry.
UCONN at 4 looks good. I think they're underestimating Maryland at 10 though. I'd have them around 7-8.
Same! ... still wish it was some way that they could play out this year’s ncaa tournament but I know it’s no possible way.This list makes me ready for the season to begin. I miss it already.
I think they put Maryland at 10 b/c of the Austin transfer in addition to the losses of the senior class. With Austin, I think Maryland would’ve easily been in the top 5. But the off-season will be interesting and more telling of the top 25!
Maryland's top 8 players are pretty solid. They have no one beyond that. Brenda also have NEVER signed a graduate transfer. This is her chance to try and sign a quality backup post player.I think they put Maryland at 10 b/c of the Austin transfer in addition to the losses of the senior class.

Agreed! the Mimi Collins transfer couldn’t have come at a better time. & Yes that’s my projected starting 5 next season, Miller’s improvement will be keyAgreed. I had them at 3 with Austin. I still think theyll be quite good even without her. Owusu/Miller/Mikesell is a good trio and they bring in transfer Mimi Collins and #2 recruit Angel Reese.
Yes think she needs to bring in at least 2 grad transfers or maybe some international talent in the post.Maryland's top 8 players are pretty solid. They have no one beyond that. Brenda also have NEVER signed a graduate transfer. This is her chance to try and sign a quality backup post player.

"...along with rising junior Elizabeth Balogun (8.1 PPG). Balogun transferred from Georgia Tech and got a waiver to play this past season. She is the top rebounder (4.6 RPG) returning for the Cardinals."
Balogun gets a waiver, but Evina Westbrook doesn't. Rhyme and reason? UConn is just too good, so deny their waivers, no matter what?
If Christyn had one tough season your perspective might have some validity, but her Freshman season was nothing to write home about either. What, other than your opinion has she shown since playing in college that would validate her being labeled the best player on the team?I think UCONN next year could do what SC did this year. Hear me out:
Yes-We lose CD and Megan, but what we gain is Anna, Olivia, Aubrey, and CW being a year older, is huge. IMO-I know Christyn had a tough season, but she was still the best basketball player on our team. IF she can blossom the way I think she can, I think she could be a 1st team AA next season.
The wildcard here is Evina. I think she will be the alpha and this will be her team from day 1.
Throw in what we can get from the freshman and I think that by season's end, nobody will want to play us.
No other team can say that! Thank you!Meh. I don't have any issue with the rankings. Lots of games to be played next season and plenty of time for teams to move up or down. We play Oregon, Baylor and SC next season. Take care of business and we move up. Lose, and we won't.

Is that a pre-determined tournament or is it a bracket?I am not sure if we play Baylor and Maryland next year. We probably owe Baylor a home game. I know Oregon and SC plays in the Battle for Atlas tournament in the Bahamas.
This will be the first year for the women. The men tournament was bracket formatted. So the women will probably be as well.Is that a pre-determined tournament or is it a bracket?
