Juju with 24 pts on 40% shooting. I dunno, call me a homer, but I still think Paige is a better player.

Juju needs a coach who pushes her to refine her rough edges and look for her teammates more. It's kind of a travesty she'll be allowed to squander some of her unlimited potential for four years under Gottlieb.

Paige didn't need much work to begin with, but she's definitely gotten better under Geno.

Still, I think JuJu's game is slightly better suited to the W.

Mass media only looks at scoring. JuJu on pace to catch Clark in scoring. That's exciting and largely why Gottlieb will keep going with JuJu show. They can still finish 29-5 that way and go deep into the tournament. Just won't win it.

Paige gets plenty of exposure, but never really face of the game. Only as field goal % and efficiency not that exciting.

I find it sad, as Paige actually has the same skills as Clark. Fast pace, great passing, deep 3 PT shooting range. Just not showcased at UConn, as team is very balanced. But wins!

It's not a stretch to say this, as Paige is the former (and maybe the future) NPOY. Meanwhile, JuJu is being played out of position and it shows. While she's been anointed by the media as the "chosen one", there may be at least two players (could be three) who either are better or have at least performed more like a NPOY.

Watched most of the USC/Notre Dame game on tape. Have to admit it's the 1st time I've watched USC/Watkins.
1st off, congrats to USC for drawing 7900 fans to this Top Ten matchup :rolleyes:.
Secondly, I've seen better offensive strategy at the Saturday morning YMCA pickup gym.
So far, very unimpressed with JuJu and the Trojans; I know it's a long season but I expected to be wowed and definitely was not.
We'll see how they develop....

The bottom of the sec really stinks. Missouri, A&M, Florida, Georgia, and Arkansas.

Villanova beats Texas A&M.

As an Arkansas fan (low key) and Coach Neighbors fan/friend, my heart goes out to him and his program. It is going to be a long season for Coach and the Razorbacks.

I do agree with you about Juju and her rough edges when it comes to her play. These players workout with some of the best trainers in the game. Phil Handy, NBA trainer for Kobe, LeBron, and many other players, works with Juju on her skill set. Juju works out with Kevin Durant and Chelsea Gray in the summertime. I am sure they are in her ear about certain elements of her game.
 
Zags at the Pit getting ready to tip.... Streaming on the Mountain West Network. This should be a fun game.

Earlier this month NAU traveled to the Pit and needed a 31 point 4th quarter to pull out a thrilling 2 point win

Speaking of NAU they traveled to Fort Collins last night and left with an 84-80 over a Colorado State team that featured transfer Emma Ronsiek coming to CSU to join her sister in her last year of eligibility. Ronsiek played the full 40 minutes and Sophie Glancy the Jack's star junior did a pretty good job on her defensively. Glancy scoreless in the first half came alive in the second half and scored 19 points.

Another big road victory for the Lumberjacks. Coach Loree Payne has pushed her chips in this year as she starts three seniors and two juniors and her bench is really limited to junior Sonya Everson, a perfect four for four in the first half for the Jacks. Next year I guess NAU will be looking to the transfer portal for a wing and another experienced guard.

Louisville probably happy to escape with a win over USF. Indiana over Baylor. Drake playing Iowa State close in the 3rd Q.

Zags with a quick timeout as the Lobos score the first four points of the second half to tie the game.

Ejim on triple double watch with 18 points 9 rebounds and five assists very early in the second half.
 
A day behind. How about the Seawolves of Alaska Anchorage taking down a D1 team, Vermont? @triaddukefan is probably dusting of his UAA gear and wearing it with pride today!

BYU has been flirting with this almost every game, caught them finally. Lost to Northern Colorado. Cougs have some talent but they've looked pretty sketchy during stretches of every game I've watched.
 
South Carolina looking a little rough in LA. First time I’ve seen them this year, but they look sloppy on O. At the end of the 1st half they have more offensive rebounds than assists. With the elite recruiting classes they’ve had, I’m a little surprised. Maybe it’s UCLAs size- they are formidable.

I have to say. Iowa state is not that good. I don’t see them making the sweet 16 this year.

2 point home win over Drake.

Unlucky drake is on a 3 game losing streak.

Dinnebier went off against both Iowa and Iowa St. I think 40 and 39 in the 2 games.
 
NC State game answered some questions, it seems like there are still some doubts about TCU. I'm not sure how many teams have 3 scorers like Prince, Van Lith and Conner. Combined for 39 at the half today.
 
Iowa Putzing along to 6-0 this year; held Washington State to 4 and 5 points in the 2nd and 3rd quarters on their way to a 29 point win.
These are not the droids you're looking for.

I can see why TCU won the game, the NC State players were probably trying to get used to TCU's court for the first three quarters. That is the second worst basketball court in the NCAA, with Oregon's being #1. They play their first game away from home on the 29th against ND, then USF the 30th, both games are in the Cayman islands.

oh, geez, the horned frog skin court. To me it’s way worse than Oregon.
