*= A major bad ass in her day! Pulled down almost 900 more rebounds & scored 500 more points than Griner.

When I first started watching women's basketball I was about 12 and I remember always watching Tiffany Jackson of UT go head up against sophia Young. Thank you for the memory.

Monica Wright was once engaged to Kevin Durant if that helps.

Wendy Palmer, if I remember correctly, was the one holding the ball while trying to inbound/call time out late in the game in the regional final in '95.

I have heard of a lot of the greats, a lot of the ones before my time. That being said, I asked for input because I know that there are a lot more knowledgeable WBB fans on this board than me, who have followed the game much longer than I have.

Do yourself a favor and go rent the movie Mighty Mac when you get the chance. It is about the Immaculata women's basketball and more important about our (Philly) people and the roots of the women's game. You will see many threads and connections to UCONN for example one of Cathy Rush's players eventually got married to Phil Martelli. It was Phil that gave Geno his first coaching job at Bishop Kenrick High School before Jim foster and Debbie Ryan realized the potential and dragged Geno to St Joe's and UVA. Thank me later and I make some more connections for you like how Muffett McGraw and Dawn Staley fit into this wonderful mosaic.

Your original post said top 5 from each school. I'd put Southern Cal's top 5 over any other school. If you start including benches.... then obviously UCONN has the advantage over any school....

Please explain. Even 5 on 5, Who is gonna match up with BS? Mojet can shut down opposing PG's. DT, hitting 3's, mid range and driving to the hoop and drawing fouls. MM, hitting all over the place. TC, roaming the paint. Unbeatable!
 
CocoHusky said:
Wouldn't Bascom without the "b", be Ascom? - never heard of her.
Expand ...
It was the second 'b', I may have typoed Bascomb and there is no 'b' at the end. I did recall however that it was stated that she was UConn's first All American and until Nykesha Sales in 1998 that was Bascom was the all time UConn scooring leader. With Maya, Tina KML,, they have been moved down the list. But still 4th and 5th. Bascom was the team leader getting UConn to its' first final four.

I am aware of the Philly connection. How could I not be? I've seen all the stories about Geno, Phil, and Jim, along with Muffet. I will watch the movie though. A lot of great WBB players were before my time and unlike the men's game, there isn't a lot of video or discussions about the greatest women players. I really enjoy hearing about them from a fans point of view.

Cheryl Miller or Lisa Leslie.

USC legitimately poses a challenge. I think Tennessee does, too, although they aren't as strong at the point.
 
Phillyconn said:
Tremendous!! So, CoCo. Are you saying that USC would beat UConn? Where is Tonyc when you need him.
Expand ...
Yes I would give a slight edge to the USC team over UCONN first 5 because Bird and DT would have to play some major defense ( not their forte) against Coop and Miller.

Who do you think would win? You have 3 players in the UConn starting five that have been in the conversation for greatest of all time. I guess Cheryl, Cynthia and Leslie might be in that conversation also. But, with UConn, you have 4, very good 3pt shooters. Not sure that USC can match that.

Point taken, but I put Mojet in my starting five. What about our speed and 3pt shooting? I wish I could get a ESPN poll on this subject.

Bill please play along! The is no second "b". Kerry Bascom is brought up regularly on this board as an all-time UCONN great, some even nominated her for the UCONN mount Rushmore of players.

Nicole Powell is one of the Top 5 Stanford players ever. Azzi at the PG... Wiggins at the SG. ....... and a front line of the O sisters and Powell... thats tough

Hard to judge Cooper's and Miller's 3-point shooting since they graduated before the rule was instituted :)

Really, I don't know who would win but Leslie would be a big test for Stewie and vice versa.

Love MoJett but she can't guard anyone in this USC lineup. Both Coop and Cheryl would shoot over her or overpower her.
The 3pt shot was not a part of the Game in Coop's and Cheryl's time. I forget what year it put into WCBB. Not that I would be afraid to to play with 3Pt line because both Coop and Cheryl were great long range shooters. Even Lisa Leslie was a decent 3 Pt Shooter for a post player.

By the way, if you substitute Pamela for twin sister Paula (who was a two-time All-American herself), that's an Olympian starting five. So, that's pretty good :)

You might, rabbit, you might. Or, you'd put Tina Thompson on Charles and Leslie on Stewart. Either way, tough match-ups.

You can see Mighty Macs online for free here:
http://putlocker.is/watch-the-mighty-macs-online-free-putlocker.html

You might have to delete a couple of popups before the movie starts. Just keep deleting them and retrying. Once the movie starts, it's clear sailing. Lots of connections as CoCoHusky said. Rene Portland was also on the team.

You seriously cant have a top 5 terp team and leave off Vicky Bullet :confused:
Expand ...
You are correct. I was considering Bullett and it made a ton of sense but I didn't know how many people knew about her.

Another team to consider from the past is Louisiana Tech.

G - Teresa Witherspoon
G - Kim Mulkey
G - Betty Lennox
F - Cheryl Ford/Janice Braxton
C - Pam Kelly

Should be considered for the 8th spot. (or maybe have a play-in game)

Just my $.02 for Tennessee, but I don't see how you leave Lawson off that team. She's an Olympian and has been an incredible player in the WNBA. She's much better than Anosike (more productive for her position). Plus, Catchings simply is not a good 2G

Jolly
Lawson
Catchings
Holdsclaw
Parker

Also for ND no one seems to remember Achonwa - just coming back from injury, but certainly a winner and a really good player on the Canadian National team. I don't know who Siemon is/was, but Achonwa was great for them for 4 years...

For UCONN, I love Bird and she's been the best PG in the world for Team USA for years now. Moriah has not had a chance to lead team USA so I'm not ready to crown her #1. BUT if you wanted to make a team of 10, she's certainly be the back up PG and that team of 10 would be miles ahead of any other team out there... so is our team of 5 by the way. And that's leaving Olympians like Cash and Jones off the team...

Lastly, are you making a team of only 5 starters, or a team of 10 with players off the bench too?
