Happy Holidays to you, too.  I’ll keep this pretty short since the argument is getting off course from the main topic.

I mentioned that I do understand not listing Stanford as a big game, since in hindsight it wasn’t.  I was just going by the teams in the top 25 right now where Stanford is included in both polls.  And I did note Cal since they are in one of the polls.

Oklahoma was a closer game, but it was not a big game by any means.  If you looked at last season, would you place more value on performances against Notre Dame and South Carolina or the 2-3 point  game vs TCU?  Quality of opponent is what’s important IMO, not how close the game was.

In regards to the one on one comment—I agree it’s far from the end all be all, but Arike has a lot of other skills that Kia doesn’t.  Just the other day she carried Notre Dame and scored 10 points in the overtime period to create separation vs. Marquette.  I don’t think you’d ever see Kia take over a game like that. And while Kia is a better shooter when she standstill catch and shoots, Arike is much stronger shooter off the dribble and is a better midrange scorer.  They each have their strengths.  To summarize, I’d just say we can agree to disagree. Nothing wrong with that.
