Matthew Mitchell>Kyra Elzy...by a wide margin. This is why you should take advantage of having an interim coach in unusual circumstances like this, instead of now being stuck for several more years.What has happened to KY? They've got the talent to be one of the best in the league. Now they might not even finish top 4.
Kourtney Weber (#2 scorer) was out for Florida State and they still beat North Carolina easily. I was under the impression with Watts, Holesinka and the freshman class, UNC would take a step forward
I expected better from that team this year.... figured they would finish around 4th in the conference. I'm not disappointed with their results mind you, but I thought they would be alot better.
I don't know that Mitchell was that much better. What did Kentucky do last year? Who did they beat who was any good? They would've probably been a 7 seed, maybe a 6 at highest. They were over-ranked pretty much all season.Matthew Mitchell>Kyra Elzy...by a wide margin.

Its hard to compare because Kentucky has a lot of new players that weren't on the team or weren't eligible last year. Dre'una Edwards, Olivia Owens, Robyn Benton, Jazmine Massengil. So this year if they are the same as last year, then to me that is downgrade.I don't know that Mitchell was that much better. What did Kentucky do last year? Who did they beat who was any good?

You beat me to it! Exactly what I was going to say. This is a highly compelling matchup year in and year out, with high quality basketball. And I have a feeling I know what @triaddukefan would say about it!The South Dakota v SD State game tonight is interesting to me. Both undefeated in conference.
At least one will be a tourney team - maybe both.
SD State 13-2You beat me to it! Exactly what I was going to say. This is a highly compelling matchup year in and year out, with high quality basketball. And I have a feeling I know what @triaddukefan would say about it!
I believe both will be in the tournament. Both did enough in the nonconference to earn an at-large if needed, IMO.

I'm looking at his tenure overall. Didn't make deep runs in the Tourney but finished top 4 in the SEC 10 out of 13 years, 1st or 2nd 4 times, and routinely won 25+ games. Decent amount of success at a school w/out a deep tradition in wcbb.I don't know that Mitchell was that much better. What did Kentucky do last year? Who did they beat who was any good?

George Mason (winless in conference) was held to 27 points today by Rhode Island. Only cracked double digits in 1 quarter. 7-2-8-10. Wow, wow, wow. It's gotta be difficult being that bad on offense. Sorry, I don't think any D is THAT good. 20% shooting (11-54), 7% behind the arc (1-14).THEY should be #1! 110 wins against 3 defeats is pretty darn good.SD State 13-2
South Dakota 110-3
Both teams 6-0 in conference
Yes I thought they would be better especially when compared to other programs with new coaches, main one being Georgia Tech because Nell Fortner entered the ACC the same time as Banghart. Georgia Tech lost two of their best young players to Louisville and Fortner has still found success.
Banghart is not happy with guardplay, she referenced they won't have a point guard until next year.
Cal Baptist overwhelming New Mexico St., up 90-45 in the closing minutes. 16-30 behind the arc for the Lancers.
edit--9 players have at least 1 3 and 5 have 2 or more; who do you guard?
Would be the first game ever between a 15 seed and a 16 seed.A Cal Baptist-High Point matchup would be intriguing in the NCAA Tournament.
